There’s a common myth regarding baldness, where it’s said that you should grow your hair longer if you’re losing hair to cover any baldness. Is such a claim true? Find out more below.

The idea makes sense, as longer hair would mean that the length is more likely to cover the balding spots. Hairdressers say the opposite to this logic though, as they claim that growing your hair long means that it will separate. This means that there will be a section which goes straight down to the scalp.

Avoid growing your hair too long. Instead consider cutting your hair short but not too short. It should have enough length for a hair to cover the next, creating a feathering effect.
