Does any one feels that keeping thick beard results in hair loss at scalp?

I have seen many guys who have kept thick beard for 2 to 3 years have suddenly developed hair loss pattern and become norwood 1 or 2 bald. Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma had thick beard from last 2 years. I see him getting bald on mid crown region.  I see Virat kohli losing hair. So is there any correlation or we do not know yet.

Keeping a beard itself (versus shaving it) bears no significance on your scalp hair. For all intents and purposes, the body does not know nor care whether you shave your facial hair. However, there is a known correlation between excess facial and body hair and scalp DHT sensitivity, meaning that, on average, those with more and thicker body and facial hair are more likely to experience balding. Keep in mind that this is a generalization and not a rule of causation. At the end of the day, it's all about how sensitive your scalp is to DHT.

There's also the fact that when some guys start balding they tend to start growing out their beard more.

@pradeepbr I have seen a video by Eugenix that mentions that grade 6/7 baldness usually means that a person 'generally' has a healthy beard for a hybrid hair transplant. I don't understand the genetic of this but maybe if you Google this subject you may find more.

There’s definitely a correlation with body hair and hair loss. Generally the more body hair (beard, chest, etc) the higher chance of hair loss. That’s because DHT is necessary for body and facial hair. I have a few friends that can’t grow any facial hair and have perfect hairlines.
