I Have to Shave My Head for a Movie — Will It Grow Back the Same? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

Hi,
I’m a 32 year old Filipino male. I have thick black hair that’s shoulder length and both parents still have hair. My question for you is, does shaving your head affect the regrowth of your
hair in any way? I am cast in a film set to shoot this summer BUT I have to shave my head WITH A RAZOR. I’ve heard from friends (through their friends…of course) that shaving your head with a razor may make the hair to grow back very rough and course…and in some cases, it grows back like “pubic hair” by being kinked. I guess the worst case scenario is that some parts of my head don’t even grow back hair. Please let me know as I’m so nervous about the whole thing and losing some sleep over it. Thank you very very much in advance!

Simply shaving your head will not cause you to lose hair or change the character of the hair. Good luck with the movie!
