Why Do Most Members On Here Have Naturally Straight Hair?

[alekgn]

Something that's occurred to me to having been on this forum is that practically everyone that I've seen post pics seem to have naturally straight hair, by definition. I am talking about predominantly non-African members, as I believe African members have hair that's in another category. In any case, I don't think I've seen anyone on here with naturally wavy hair, and seldom curly hair?

Other than straight hair just being more genetically common, any reason why that's the main demographic I see on here? I've seen no one with my hair type: the hair forms fairly large defined curls in clumps of lots of hairs.

I would rather have your hair than mine which is naturally straight Beiber hair. You can lose alot of density and no one will know. Not only that but you need less grafts than someone with naturally straight hair if you need a future hair transplant. I will trade your hair for mine any day.

Downside of that is it means I'd catch diffuse thinning a lot later if I ever experienced that form of hair loss, lol. That's the kind of thinning that actually worries me the most. A receding hairline is easy to track and notice changes. Crown thinning is fairly easy to notice changes, too. Diffuse is much more insidious than either of those. It's hard to notice in the early stages, and by the time you do notice, it's too late, lol. Now I know I could just get a buzzcut any time to tell, but a buzzcut doesn't particulary look good on me, because I have an assymetric hairline and my hairline is relatively high relative to my eyebrows.

Not if you keep taking photos and get a hair densitometer.

My hair was never completely straight but I found that when I started losing hair, it became even more wavy..

Anyone else had such an experience?
