A member asked:

Does shaving your head many times effect your hair follicles and scalp and leads to hair thinning and are there any side effects of shaving your head?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Head shaving...: ...Should not effect the thickness of your hair or where on your head it grows unless you are cutting and scarring your scalp. The most common problem caused by hair shaving is folliculitis, which is an infection of the hair follicle.
