I am asking this in men's health cos I don't think it is a beauty issue.
Anyway, does shaving head help grow stronger hair? What should I do to keep strong hair and prevent it from thinning? Any suggestions or links will be appreciated. Thanks!

No.
What comes back w/ seem thicker & stronger. But that's just because it's new. As it grows out, it'll start wearing & breaking off & when it reaches the length it is now, it'll look the same.
Conditioning & how you treat it w/ improve it. I used ot use olive oil, I'd put it on my hair & leave it, w/ a plastic bag over my head, covered by a bandana for a few hours.
My hair grew down to my thighs while doing that & it'd only been mid back before.
Another thing I did was to change the way I washed my hair. No more piling on my head. I brushed it befor eI got in the shower & washed it w/ a hair brush. I brushed the shampoo thru my hair. Cleaned the brush at the same time! :)

Try using shampoos that don't have many chemicals in them, it is better for your hair and also get your hair trimmed every so often to keep the dead ends off and to make it healthier and stronger. But I wouldn't shave it (unless you have a bald spot already then shave and it won't be as likely to notice it, it will just look like a shaved head.) Good luck.

My guess would be that it's similar to when you shave your own hair. The hair follicles get blunted at the end, giving a thicker appearance, but not actually increasing the thickness of the hair. Sounds like a wives tale or outdated cultural tradition to me.

No, that's a myth. It doesn't grow back thicker, it just seems thicker cuz it is just cut. Hair growth is all about genetics. I know guys who are in their early-20's who can't grow facial hair who have been shaving almost daily since they were 17 to try to get it to grow thicker with no positive results.

i understand man or woman shaving any part of your body will cause the hair to grow back more fuller and thicker than before

Good shampoo and regular trims. Shaving just makes you bald.

shaving only causes the hair to become more corse and more difficult to handle
