Will growing a beard weaken my scalp hair?

[Krispin]

Hi guys, this question may already be circulating around here, but I could not find something specific enough in the search. I am currently going on 2 weeks without a shave and was wondering if having or growing a beard, as opposed to normal shaving, will weaken the hair on my scalp, i.e., make it more susceptible to DHT or make it more lifeless in general?

My idea behind this is that my facial hair will now be greater in volume, therefore taking more of a toll from my bodily nutrition to maintain it and keep the greater volume of hair alive. This greater need for nutrition will take away from the total available nutrition available for other hair around my body, including body hair, but more specifically, scalp hair, since I am a Norwood 3.5/4. This may be faulty logic, but it is nevertheless an idea. Any thoughts?

This may be faulty logic

I'd have to agree.

ok let me be the first to tell you
hair fibers are dead

it doesn't matter if they are visible or not
your body will expend the same amount of energy producing the hair fiber

your logic makes no sense .... sorry

In reality, scalp hair and facial hair are connected throughout the head. The same strand of hair gives you scalp hair on the top of your head and facial hair. If you leave your bear growth, it will automatically impair your scalp hair, as the strand will have to go down throughout your head, leaving less hair at the scalp extremity.

Lol...okay, I got it. The sarcasm was cute.
