Growing Hair

[Shannon]

I have a theory about hair loss being correlated with beliefs that your family/community/society/whatever doesn't depend on you.

Also have a theory about hair loss being correlated with repressed desire to hurt other people.

This concept presupposes that having others depend on you is important. That will not be the case for everyone, and even if it was, why would it result in hair loss? What are the details of your theory here, ffaux? I'm curious.

It seems to me that hair loss would have to be a sort of self punishment for not being whatever "hair" represents to your subconscious if this were valid. If you associate hair with being a "real man" and a "real man" with being a provider of some sort and therefore depended upon, I could see it being possible that in some cases the subconscious would potentially contribute to hair loss intentionally under circumstances like this. But it certainly wouldn't seem likely to affect a majority or even a minority of people for these reasons, since these beliefs and conditions still depend on a specific interpretation by, and response of, the subconscious for the outcome. That interpretation and response combination would almost certainly be very rare in my opinion.

Still, I can see how this could be one cause of hair loss, or at least a contributing factor, for some people.
