Girls, Am I thinning hair or losing hair (pictures included) help?

[Anonymous]

I notice my hair was changing like 2 years ago. Yes I did have some stress going on , I pretty much straightened my hair everyday with heat protection and sometimes I didn't. I washed my hair before with hot water everyday now I wash it everyday with cold water. I notice back then my hair was falling out but never a bunch. I notice thinning also first on top then on the sides. I don't wake up with hair on my pillows and I don't lose that much hair also but I do feel like I have less hair. What's going on? In the picture I show I have a half ponytail and this is how it looks like on the sides.

Heat damage. Fall ironing your hair every single day is so bad for it. You need to completely stop using heat. You can also apply coconut oil to those areas and massage for blood flow. I was balding in those areas. My hair has grown back completely and this is what I did. Also added a prenatal to my diet

"Flat"

Did the coconut oil helped?

[ButtHoleSandwich]

It really did! Google coconut oil benefits. It's great for skin as well. You need to get the unrefined coconut oil. It's raw and untouched. If you get the refined it's been processed. You will pay more for unrefined but it's worth it

[Asker]

How do I apply it and what does it do to your hair? I will buy it just for my hair to be better but will it help this problem?

[ButtHoleSandwich]

Go and buy hair, skin and nails vitamins. Great results for women of all races for hair growth. Its at Walmart. Apply the coconut oil in the balding spots and massage for 1 minute. You can even use it as a hot oil treatment before you wash your hair. Coconut oil is one of the few oils that actually penetrate the hair follicles.

Do I only apply it where I need it or I can all over my hair? Thanks a lot for your help.

Here are my results

You can do both. Your entire hair needs to become stronger and healthier or you can just focus on the problem areas. Above this remark I posted my results of doing this

[Asker]

Nice thanks for sharing it with me you look pretty and I see the results. I will go and buy coconut oil thanks a lot.

[ButtHoleSandwich]

Anytime and just keep up at it! It may take some time to notice results but don't give up. Best of luck

Losing hair at those spots has nothing to do with your diet or stress... I forget the name for it but it's not hormonal hair loss either. Google it.. It's a type of hair loss that comes and goes for no reason really. It usually clears up in your thirties though.

[Asker]

What you mean clears up?

[Asker]

I'monly 20

You're born with it and it can be really bad during the early part of your life but it goes away as you age. I forget what the heck it's called. It's not the same as hormonal hair loss though.

[Asker]

When you say it goes away are yous saying my hair or will this problem go away?

[Opinion Owner]

At least that's what I suspect you have, considering the spots on your head where you said it's falling out.. I think it's called, "Congenital Triangular Alopecia" ... something like that

[Asker]

The weird thing is that I don't even remember hair falling out from these parts of my head only thinning.

[Opinion Owner]

That can happen with it too... But Are you on any form of hormonal birth control? Like the Pill, The patch, The shot, or even The ring?

[Anonymous]

The same thing happened to me. I used to flat iron my hair all the time and have a bad diet. Put the iron down, make sure your eating enough protein and take some biotin.

[Asker]

Is your hair better now? my main fear is to go bald or keep thinning hair

[Asker]

What's biotin?

[Opinion Owner]

It's still recovering, but eating healthy (super healthy), not using as much heat and taking the biotin helped.
Biotin is a vitamin that can be found in food, and is really good for hair growth. Try taking the 1000mgs first. They come in 1000mgs, 5000mgs, 10000mgs.

[Opinion Owner]

but my hair is much MUCH better

[emerald77]

It could be your diet!

[Asker]

At this point I'm confused about my body I did loose and gain weight.
