Piplula 709 Posted August 10, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never noticed, but then again, I believe in cranking up the weed wacker on a regular basis. 2 Justine13 and samomom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

traceyc 89 Posted August 10, 2012 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. 1 Piplula reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shape_Shifter 83 Posted August 10, 2012 Also on another (hilarious) thread they were talking about guys being "larger" after weight loss I think its a visual effect thing. lol 1 Piplula reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadouni 301 Posted August 10, 2012 not sure... I wax but the waxing isn't any more painful so I don't think there's more... =) 1 Kalimomof3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted August 10, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chitowngirl 886 Posted August 10, 2012 Lol... You guys are to funny. One question are you taking Biotin? Because I've heard people say that makes them grow hair every where but their head. 2 janerose and Piplula reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
