Why is one part of my hair shorter than the rest?
You might think nutrients get distributed uniformly throughout your body, but that’s not really the case. Each hair follicle and nail has its own blood supply. So, you might see hair growing more quickly on one side than the other in a family. Much of the time, the growth difference is caused by behavior.
Why do I have a random short piece of hair?
“Baby hairs are produced when the growing (anagen) phase of the hair cycle becomes shorter,” trichologist David Salinger told ELLE Australia. “Normally, this happens over several cycles.” When the growing cycle shortens, new hairs simply don’t grow as long as those that cover the rest of your head, ever.
Why do I have short hairs on the top of my head?
Around the hairline, shorter hairs are not always baby hairs. Sometimes, they are just the new growth of normal hairs that fell out due to their age, or while recovering from a hair loss episode. And at the hairline, they are more visible than at the crown of the head, where they would often be hidden by the hairstyle.
How do I know if my short hair is breaking or new growth?
A good way to test whether it’s breakage or baby hairs is by pulling your hair up into a pony and then gently lifting up all the shorter pieces. If they sit closer to your hairline then it’s likely that they’re baby hairs but if the hair is longer and closer to your ponytail then it’s more likely to be breakage.
How can you tell if hair is growing back?

Causes of stringy hair Stringy hair is typically fine hair that gets greasy, causing it to clump at the end in what looks like pieces of string. Most commonly, stringy hair is caused by excess product or oil in the hair. Hair loss can cause hair to look thinner, and therefore also make it look more stringy.
What causes uneven hair length?
Uneven hair growth can be caused by the food you eat, your level of stress, the amount of moisture that your hair is receiving and just plain old genetics. After that, look at how you care for your hair, and the way that your parents’ hair grows, as well.
