Myth or true
I have taken a new haircut in which my upper hai are long and side hair are short.
Is it true that long hair take more protien or oxygen or any other thing than short hair?
Do keeping these type of hair styles can cause hair loss ?

No it is the myth..... the length of hair has nothing to do with the requirement of nutrition. The formation of hair occurs at the root level and that rate of growth is constant irrespective of what is the length of the hair and above the skin surface. Each person has an individual capacity to increase the length of a certain extent. Hence after a certain length the hair start shedding because the root is not strong enough to bed the weight of the hair. Hope this was helpful.
