A Weird Hair Question

So the hair on my head is falling out..which can be a normal process...but as I was getting out of the shower the other day..it appeared I had more hair down "there". Anybody else experience this? I am wondering if it is because since I am shrinking it just appears more hair is there because the follicles are closer together because of the shrinkage..I know ..weird question but just wondering if anybody else has noticed. I'll try to limit my weirdness to one question per day!

Lmao! Trimming yes...weed wacker..never had to do that..never had that much hair to require a weed wacker...a razor and trimmer are just fine :P

I think it is that the hair is just closer together so it looks like more. I am having the same experience. I saw a thread on here where a guy was saying it seemed like he had more chest hair for the same reason so I think it is common.

Also on another (hilarious) thread they were talking about guys being "larger" after weight loss I think its a visual effect thing. lol

not sure... I wax but the waxing isn't any more painful so I don't think there's more... =)

Another thing to consider is hormonal differences, when you reduce your mass you effectively INCREASE the amount of hormones in your system - same amount of hormones spread out over less mass + MORE hormones. BOTH sexes produce some estrogen and testosterone and may cause more hair to grow.

Yes, that was me. HERE is the thread.

Oh no, it isn't just a visual thing. Ask my wife ... and Dr. Oz
