Long Hair Equals Weaker Roots?

Hi, I currently have long hair and have noticed quite a bit of thinning in the front and on the crown. I heard that you can lose more hair if it’s long because the roots are weaker. I don’t want to cut my hair because it hides my balding look better. If I keep my hair long will the rate of baldness increase? Thank you very much!

Long hair does not increase the risk of balding. People can get better coverage with long hair rather than short hair, but long hair in the face of genetic thinning, can be easily damaged with rough brushing, more so than short hair so the techniques and the brushes used are important for those who have thinning hair.
