Another hair-raising question.

Has anyone noticed that their hair growth (head, not beard/etc.) has slowed since starting T?  I'm 18 months on T now and I cannot get my hair to grow much at all.  I want to grow it out a bit, but it's seeming to take ages.  What gives?  I have adequate facial hair growth, but just not head hair!

Yes! It's weird. It also grows in different directions that it used to. I thought I was the only one.

Not noticed this myself, but my hair always seems to grow annoyingly fast anyways. Stupid question but how long is it right now, and when was the last time you had it cut? Sounds mad but getting it trimmed actually helps it grow, or so I've heard. Otherwise you tend to just get split ends and it grows outwards instead of downwards.

The hair on top of my head has slowed down but the sides and back grow just as fast as before. I'm taking that as a sign it may be going sooner than I expected it was going to. C'est la vie.

Just curious, has your hairline changed much? Are the shafts of your hair getting thinner?

It's about 5 inches long on the top and about an inch on the sides and back - it's been at this length for ages it seems.  I used to trim it all the time, but it never seemed to help it to grow.

Nah, it's not changed at all.  I had hoped some of the "fuzz" around my hairline would go away, but it hasn't budged.  Better than being bald, I guess (I only say that because I've had a shaved head before and I don't have the head shape for it!).
