Just thought I'd share this for the sake of comic relief. :-)
I was talking to a 50-ish (I'm 33), fairly short-haired woman I know, and the subject of long-haired men and balding came up. She opined that long hair contributed to baldness.
I asked her, "If long hair contributed significantly to baldness, wouldn't it be less popular among women?"
She replied that it only caused baldness on long-haired men -- not on long-haired women.
She was perfectly serious. I didn't know what to say. I repeated the thought back to her in a "So your saying that..." question to confirm that I'd understood her correctly. She confirmed. Note, she has never had a job, avocation, or course of study that had anything to do with hair.
This wasn't a situation where I was interested in winning any debate. I just nodded respectfully and said something like, "Oh, I see."

Well, at my office there is a woman with long hair, which she usually
puts on a tight ponytail, making all the hair in the front go really
flat (I've never seen anyone else's hair *that* flat).
And her hairline is relatively high in comparison with even many men.
Disclaimer: I cannot tell cause-effect relationships here as I have
not known her for very long. Some women do already have higher hairline without it receding at all.
Tehanu - who still thinks the way you treat your hair follicles could change your hairline, but not the long hair itself. (See my attached picture for evidence :-)
LOL!!
I'd like her to take a look and run her fingers through my hair.. It is so thick that it mats if I dont brush is twice a day!! And the length is bout the the bottom of my blades..
