who had short hair prior to their hair loss?

[jimbojones001]

im not balding first of all but i would like to know how many of you started losing your hair when you had short hair like 1-5 inches long? it seems to me that most people that go bald had long hair and then started thinning...
does it help to keep your hair short cause my hair is almost basically shaved (1-2 inches in length).
so who had short hair before they started losing hair?

thanks.. (please dont ignore this)

Boy I think you are crazy if you believe this. I always keep my hair under 5 inches long and I'm losing it. The only benefit you get from having short hair is that it masks thinning up top. Short hair doesn't hide the hairline though so you will notice any changes there easier.

You're nuts and probably suffering from male pattern baldness, but I had short hair.

I shaved my head bald back when I was 16/17, #1 or #2 guard was about as long as I'd let it grow before I bic'd it again. Kind of ironic now isn't it?

I dont think it's a crazy question. Most people when they start lossing there hair they ask many questions like does smoking cause hair loss because I start to loss my hair when I was smoking or does sex cause hair loss because I start to loss my hair when I start to have sex. I think you ask that question because you see people will long hair at one but when now that they are lossing there hair they started to cut it short. The real reason why that cut it short or get a buzz cut because you need hair to pull off the long hair style. Which you can do it if you dont have the long hair to do so.

well if u are suffering from hair loss, i am, afraid cutting your hair short may worsen things. Not that it accelerates male pattern baldness but it will give an illusion of worsening becuase i went thru it myself. Prior to entering army i was having temple recede then i cut a GI cut for 3 months for basic military training. When it grew back it was some what worst than before. Maybe i i am wrong but b4 my male pattern baldness days ( when i had lush hair growth) i used to push back the temples at the barber's for a ""mature" look of a man. I noticed that after doing so the hair at temples grew back very little and remained almost the same. I dont know but i have a feeling that if u dont have severe hairloss try not to shave your head or cut it short as it may worsen. maybe consider ths speculative theory

When your hair is cut, a feedback loop may signal to the body to let your hair grow faster and at the same time exert more DHT on tha same hair perhaps? If then what's the purpose of male pattern baldness?

Does Cutting Hair Short Keep You From Losing It?

All I've heard is that when you shave a hair it splits and grows two or more from the location. I remember this from when I first started shaving my face. Who knows if it's true. I would say that keeping your hair short might help to keep it stimulated so you would be less likely to lose it as a result of that. That's a guess, not something based on any scientific facts I know. I've never had short hair, but I'm thinking about going short for the first time as it's starting to look so ridiculous as it thins out.

What in the hell, it splits and grows in 2 different places? The follicle is a decent distance beneath the skins surface, and it controls the hair, not your shaver.
