Nothing: If you do not have bald spots, there is realling nothing to do. We usually would test your thyroid and look for other evidence of underlying health issues. The length that hair will grow is mostly genetic (there are long hair dogs and short hair dogs). How tall you are is also genetic. It is what it is.
