Every Time I Cut My Hair Short with Clippers, Areas of Hair Don’t Grow Back!
For years I have been using hairs clippers with a #1 or #2 guard to cut my hair. Each time after using the clippers I recieve several areas of hair that either don’t grow back or only fine little hairs show. There is never any scalp or blood present after using the clippers…sometimes I will feel a pinch. I have seen several doctors with no success…they simply don’t know. I’m forced at this point to keep it short…if not the hairs grows out very stringy and thin. Also, my most recent haircut resulted in my hair line at my temples being removed…my hairline is now over my ears instead of starting in front of my ears.
Finally, I swim twice a week…use chlorine shampoo and eat a very health diet. I have a full head hair with a limited amount of thinning at the crown…I’m 38 years of age. HELP
From what you are telling me, it almost sounds like you are starting to recede your hairline at the temples, which may be a sign of male pattern baldness (MPB). The miniaturized hairs that are impacted by the genetics grows slowly, if it grows at all — or perhaps the chlorine may even be harmful to your hair. Before I could provide a real answer your question, you’d need to have a miniaturization study to rule out MPB or other medical causes of hair loss. Please consult a doctor who is experienced in this field.
I think it’s pretty impossible for your hair clipprs to be causing your hair loss. Hair clippers simply slice the hair which is already growing above the skin. It has to be something else to blame or even balding coinciding with your cutting hair.
I actually have a friend who swore blind he had a full head of hair until he shaved it off and it didn’t grow back – I thought it was odd at the time and didn’t quite believe him, but it’s clear as crystal he’s simply suffering from male pattern baldness and the hair he claimed he had before he began shaving it would’ve been in its swan-song anyway.
