Speed

Do individual hairs grow at a slower speed when they're thinning, compared to thick hairs next to them?:unsure:

I am no expert but I think when hair is thinning, hair follicles cycle through short growth cycles, thus hair on male pattern baldness affected areas appears to be thinner and shorter as they grow and shed at a faster rate than normal hair does and eventually die..

Yeah, but do they always grow out from the scalp at the same speed?

I buzzed my head about 6 months ago, and I can confirm that MBP affected areas grow slower than the non affected areas. This is a personal experience, but I don't think it would differ from person to person.
