Do Vellus Hairs Follow the Same Cycles?
Hi Dr Rassman
As you have said before, it is perfectly normal to have some thinner hairs at the frontal hairline, temples, neck area. My question is, do these hairs follow the same cycles as the rest of the hair?
I.e, when I shower and notice that just a few (maybe 3, 4 or 5) of those that fall out are a bit thinner than the rest, could it be that they are those naturally thinner hairs from the temples etc??Thanks!!
The vellus hairs may very well have a different cycle than the full terminal (normal thickness) hair. I don’t know that anyone knows for sure.
