Should I Cut My Hair Shorter to Reduce the Weight?

(female)
I am 53 years old and wear my hair in natural locks. I have thinning hair in the crown an front hair line due to medication. Also the new growth is much softer than my natural texture. I understand that the hair should begin to regrow when treatment ends in a few months. Should I cut my locks shorter (currently shoulder length) to reduce the weight or cut them off and start over after treatment?

The weight of your hair shouldn’t have anything to do with its growth or loss, though if you cut your hair shorter you do reduce the risk of damage to weaker hairs you might have. If you would like to cut your hair to match a certain style or achieve a better look then by all means…
