Short hair: There are several possibilities for the cause of abnormal hair growth. This can be nutritional problems or life style problems with smoking, use of drugs or chemicals. Also health problems such as infections and hormonal problems etc. Can be the cause. See your doctor for a check up to find out what is causing the problem.
