Roundup of Questions Asked Many Times Before…

hi,

i’m 18 and i have hairy shoulders and chest. could that affect my hair ? because all the hairy people i know are all (or almost all) bald.

is it true that you have to look at your grandfathers to see wether your hair is going to fall? because my grandfather didn’t have hairloss and my father has it :/

i have a high hairline in the shape of a V kinda is that a result that i’m loosing my hair?

are masturbation & hairloss directly correlated ?

We get questions like these all the time, and the answers don’t seem to change. Here we go:

1. The amount of body hair you have doesn’t relate to the amount of scalp hair you lose.

2. Hair loss can skip generations, so you can’t just look at your grandfather (from either side of the family) to know what your pattern might be. It’s not that easy.

3. Your high V-shaped hairline could be hair loss, a mature hairline, or just you having a high hairline. I don’t know anything about your hair loss history to make that determination.

4. This is one I’ve probably written about it at least a dozen times on this blog — masturbation and hair loss are not linked. People love to tell me I’m wrong about this one, and that’s perfectly fine. But if you do or do not masturbate, it won’t make a difference to your hair. It’s a myth.
