No. Shaving your hair off will not help it regrow thicker. It is an old wives’ tale and it simply ain’t true.

I don’t shave my head, so I can’t give any personal recommendation — but I have heard good things about the HeadBlade. It costs $15 at Drugstore.com, but you can probably find it locally (check the HeadBlade site for a list of stores).
First, shaving your head should not impact the way either drug works. One may make an argument that minoxidil is easier to apply with a shaved head and as the drug really works below the skin, the hair does not get in the way of the application of the medication when it is shaved. It […]
You do not need to shave your hair before a hair transplant surgery. There are some doctors that request that you shave, because they want more visibility. From my clinical experience this is rarely the case. We (at NHI) routinely transplant hair without shaving the head. Shaving is more of a doctor’s preference and has […]
Unless your shaving technique involves cutting into the skin by 5mm and shaving off the the top skin layer, you cannot damage your hair follicle. The bald spots on your face were likely there before and you are just noticing them or you have a disease like alopecia areata that is causing these bald spots […]
Consider two possiblities: You always had that V-shaped patch, but never noticed it before because your hair was longer. After going bald (with the “magic powder”) it is more apparent now that it is growing back in. Magic Shaving Powder has real magical properties (not good ones of course) that you have not anticipated.
It is normal to lose about 100 to 200 hairs a day. You may also benefit from following up with a doctor who can map your scalp hair for miniaturization to keep a quantitative record of your hair loss pattern as you continue your Propecia. With your hair short for many years, the hair loss […]
These questions should have been addressed between you and your doctor. If not, you should call him or her and ask these questions. I think that the actual answer can be seen by looking at the creative way we extracted grafts with FUE. Generally, for a 100 graft FUE procedure, your hair would not require […]
I clip the patient’s hair short on the day an FUE is performed and you can keep it that way. Shaving the head can be safe at about 1 week. Be careful not to cut the new skin in the donor area, though. These photos are from 11 days after one FUE procedure of 1,901 […]
There are many views and theories on this topic. Instead of making it complicated, I believe it is the doctor’s personal preference which (you may argue) may have a direct impact on the outcome. At NHI, we only cut the part of the donor area hair that we will removed just prior to surgery so […]
Shaving your head will have no impact on your hair loss, one way or the other.
Sounds like some failure of communication occurred. You should have been told that your head would be shaved. I know that many doctors do this, but I do not recommend it. I tend to just work around the problem of long hair. I take the view that everything should be as natural as it was […]
The recipient area does not have to be shaved for a hair transplant, but there are some doctors that prefer to make the recipient sites in a shaved area. When I am the physician I do not have the recipient area shaved.
Most posts I read on various hair loss forums like Reddit, seem to be from guys who’re in their late teens/early 20’s who were probably going to be able to grow beards anyway, but for whom the minox may have just accelerated the process. Any success stories from older guys? I’m nearing 40 myself and […]
I’m pretty close if not completely norwood 7+. I realize this severely limits what I can expect from a hair transplant. I am currently 40 years old, and have been balding since 20. So I’ve been on fin and minox on and off throughout the years. I know there’s only so much you can say if […]
