When I was a kid there were jokes about Nuns telling kids that if they masturbated hair would grow on their palms!

They wouldn’t make that up, would they?

I'm using the hair on my palms and transplanting them on my head.

This is an old wives tale, no masturbation does not cause hair loss. You’re genetics and hormones cause hair loss.

Since there are a lot of experienced people on here.....

What makes you think we masturbate a lot?

I'm serious.  Just look at my face.

But hormones fluctuate with the number of times an individual masturbates right? So it is related in some way. On an average may masturbate twice weekly...Not sure if this is more or less

No, that's a myth. In fact, several studies show that sexual activity have no measurable effect on hormone production.

There are studies that suggest DHT increases for a short period from testosterone conversion after masturbating/sex which is likely why the hairloss myth gets perpetuated, but of course genetics are what is actually relevant.

By "experienced" I did not mean experienced in masturbating...LOL I meant experienced with the topic "hair transplant". Sorry if I have offended anyone

I was just kidding!  No one has been offended and we're having a lot of fun with this topic - safe to say your hair loss is not related.

By the way, I do have a Ficus here at home that is both male and female, will that do? 

I'm serious.  Just look at my face.
