I read somewhere that having bangs and long hair makes you loose more hair than if it were all one length. The article said that it is a shock to your hair. This doesn't sound like a very reliable article to me, but I wanted to ask to be sure. What is the truth?

i have also read that having hair of differing lengths (bangs/layers) would cause hair loss because of some sort of equalization theory, where hair evens itself out. however, my take on it is that its a bunch of hooey! hair is dead cells extruded by the follicle, i can't see how hair could be shocked or anything. and besides, think about the number of hair talk people with very long hair who have bangs, including Karen. if someone can weigh in with an "official" answer i would also be interested to know... :)jj
