You have a full head of hair it’s just shorter. If you do go bald though you’re done for. You went from a 7/10 to a 2.5 with just a haircut. How is that possible? Is this even the same guy lol
Honest comment for the troll post.

If It really is growing back slower and thinner, it's because It was minituarizing already.

If I shaved my Head right now, 90% of It won't come back

My hair is not nearly as thick now and it is sparser at the hairline. Whatever you do, do not shave your head if you are in your mid 20’s.
Sebum imo. It keeps producing even after follicles are dead. Just my observation, but I've always thought that if you shave your head your still producing sebum and due to there quickly being no hair length for it to absorb into (and if your already thinning) things can get worse fast and the follicles that are still active die quicker partly due to being clogged up with sebum. Obviously not a problem if you have a good amount of hair even the slightest growth will handle it. But with say 25 - 50 percent of follicles still active then shaving it can be an issue imo. If it's just as thin but longer then it's not as noticeable as the longer stands can handle the dead follicles' sebum. This is also why I believe (most) men have greaser hair the thinner it gets, and why anyone I've even known who is thin on top then shaves it never grows it back and goes slick bald fast.

100 percent agree.

Hair requires sebum for moisture. Sebum requires hair to aborb into. When someone buzzes down their hair there is suddenly no hair to absorb into, but still the same amount of sebum being produced, the sebum builds up on scalp and clogs pores, accelerating hairloss.

In this scenario only options imo are a transplant and/or DEEP exfoliating of the scalp to remove blackheads and release sebum and trapped hair but this is not easy.

I'm so glad I never took the plunge to shave down or I'd be clean bald by now.

As it stands I'm currently trying to clear scalp pores whilst hair is still long. It's hard but not impossible time will tell how much it helps but keeping my scalp dry and clean has other benefits (texture and volume etc) only started this recently but have a very good feeling it will help.

How do you exfoliate your scalp?

This makes me wonder how many hair follicles that seem alive and well are actually just living on borrowed time. Why did you shave your head in the first place, OP?

Trust me it's not easy. Tried the usual exfoliator scrubb stuff for face but doesn't do much.

I've started steaming scalp and applying diluted dead sea salt, then using dermatologist extraction tools to get rid of the blackheads and gunk where my hairline used to be followed by witch Hazel. Have to do this one by one so it takes ages but there's so much crap in every single hair pore it's the only way to do it.

YouTube search blackhead scalp removal to see how difficult it is.

Would buzzing to a 1 or 2 mm length every 2-3 weeks be as bad as shaving?

Absolutely wrong. Whenever I buzz my head my hair grows back thicker for a few months afterwards. When my hair is buzzed I am able to really massage my head with ease. Once the hair grows back I slack on the massage because it’s harder to perform with hair and I begin to shed after a couple of months. I’m buzzed again now and massage everyday. Already my scalp hurts less after a week.

Exactly,.... but,....
when sebum is released from sebaceous gland spread in all directions. Some sebum travel to the inner part, to dermal papilla where enter to the hair shaft (no references because is not yet write nor investigated), there is not return to surface due hardening (oxidation).....do you take the image?.... This is the important key, The same travel do the stem cells from bulge, then the road is narrow and interrupted by oxidiced sebum and they can not reach to form the new dermal papilla, and less SC arrive producing miniaturiced hairs (before real hair loss we can see miniaturiced hairs).
The real problem is the travel of sebum to the deepest area of plosebaceous unit, at the dermal papilla.

You are a very clever guy Jeju
scalp massage everyday avoid the problem with sebum if you shave scalp.
First you can take off the sebum physcally with hands, and,..., more important , you avoid the possible problem of the sebum traveling to the inner part of hair, mobilization it.
