Noticed my hair was super thin June of this year. I believe it was telogen effluvium caused by a very stressful event 3 months prior. It is now almost November and hair is still just as thin as in June, if not thinner. I don't know if its still falling out but I certainly don't notice any regrowth. If I shave my head will it encourage regrowth faster? Will it stop shedding (if it is still shedding) faster then if I don't shave?

Answer: Shaving hair grows hair in mice only! Plucking or shaving lab mice is a way to make them grow more hair!

Answer: Handling Hair Loss Unfortunately, shaving will not do much to prevent future hair loss. The problem does not lie within the hair just on top your head per say but the follicle underneath. For many, hair loss is hereditary. Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, is a derivative of testosterone and is what has been found to cause hair loss in both men and women. About 50% of men and 20% of women have this defect one one of our hereditary genes which overproduce this. As a result, high levels of DHT leads to problems such as hair loss and balding.
