How can people say long dark hairs have nothing to do with male pattern baldness?

[JohnC43]

I'm confused. Everyone says male pattern baldness hairs are thin and light colored. Almost every hair I've lost has been long full and dark. I have noticed significantly more shedding of these long dark hairs since I got male pattern baldness. I just don't understand how this could be completely unrelated. male pattern baldness must be pushing these out faster or speeding up the hair cycle somehow and then replacing these with thin light ones as the follicle shrinks, which IS part of male pattern baldness so I think it's incorrect and misleading to tell people that losing dark hairs, no matter how many or at what rate, has nothing to do with male pattern baldness.

Who told you that losing long dark hairs is nothing to do with male pattern baldness?? Thats simply not true. Hairs only turn lighter and thinner in the latter stages.

And I've read plenty of people say the same thing on here.

the long dark hairs you lose will simply grow back again, like they do with everyone. Women shed long hairs all the time.

any follicles affected by male pattern baldness will produce a slightly finer and shorter hair on the next cycle....and so on and so on.....until eventually they become virtually invisible and wither away

if you're shedding full hairs in patches and they're not growing back again then you might have some other condition and probably should see a doctor

I'm not losing hair in "patches", I have male pattern baldness. Why are you still trying to play mass shedding off as normal? The amount of hair I am shedding is most certainly not "normal".

if you have 'mass shedding' then there could be several reasons for it, but male pattern baldness isn't one of them.

anyway you obviously don't want to hear my advice, hence starting the second thread, so good luck

Definitely agree with Quantum Cat. If you lose a massive amount daily for a prolonged time, it can't be just male pattern baldness. Your shedding was triggered by some external factor, exacerbating male pattern baldness.

I'm not ignoring your advice I just don't understand

Why am I shedding so many more hairs than I was before I had male pattern baldness? It's not just that I've noticed it more, it's definitely more frequent.
