Hi any idea on how to prevent hair thinning?

Question

I am only 26 and I used to have very thick hair. I did dye and straighten it a lot over the years, but with the last 2 yrs have stopped this abuse on my hair. But it still falls out, especially after washing. And now is very thin and limp. How can I get back thick and healthy the way it used to be or am I fighting a loosing battle.

Hi there! I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I'm glad to try to help you. The first thing I would recommend is to go to your family Dr. and have a full blood work up done if you haven't already. It has been my experience that ill health - especially thyroid dysfunction - will cause hair loss frequently. If you stopped using chemicals on your hair two years ago then the hair loss is not because of that. Is the hair falling out from the roots - or breaking off? You can tell by looking at the strands - whether they are as long as your hair or just small pieces. Breakage can be caused by physical problems as well, but can also be from heat damage (dryers, irons, etc...). If the latter is the case, you can try using fermadyol (available at Sally Beauty) - it's a leave in treatment and will say "for damage with breakage" on it. If you are on any medication, this can also cause hair loss. Just go to your Dr. to be sure everything's ok. The nioxin products recommended by someone else are indeed good products. They are also available at beauty supply stores and are much less expensive there. Good luck to you!!!

There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall and you need to find out which one exactly is responsible for the problem you are having now. Of course male pattern baldness is still the most common cause, but, for instance, if you are a woman things are deinitely different! This is the reason why you will need to really dig down and see the source of your problem.

Other causes of hair loss may include (both in men and women): severe mental or emotional stress, excessive use of coloring or bleaching agents, traction alopecia or excessive strain on the scalp due to braiding or corn rowing, hormonal changes, alopecia areata or hair loss due to autoimmune diseases, and many more. Each of these conditions will require a different approach in order to achieve success regardless of whether you're going to be using conventional or natural methods.

In my opinion it's much better to use natural methods as opposed to conventional ones, they're cheaper, have less to no side effects, and often more effective.

A good way of regaining your full head of healthy natural hair is well described on this guide: http://hairagain.toptips.org

Hi, my hair does this and it still falls out and i am 19. Your not under any stress are you. Because i found that the more stressed out i get the more my hair falls out. I stopped dying my hair and it never fell out for a while, but lately with stress and stuff i have found it to fall out again. I find that using a heat protection spray helps and try massaging your scalp to make your hair grow quicker. I dont use any thickening shampoos on my hair as my hair is thick enought even though it is falling out. But my mum gets it as well and she has tried pantene full and thick it was a lot cheaper than most thickening shampoos for hair. but she now uses New Hair shampoo bar from Lush, it stimulates the hair and makes it thicker, my mum thought it wasnt going to work but when she dried her hair the root lift she got from it was amazing. She wont use out else now, So maybe worth giving it a try.
Also a boots they do a tablet now called nourkin its very expensive like £40 a box but its suppose to thicken your hair not just at the root all over.

May Rain has products that are very good for thickening your hair, however if premature thinning is hereditary that will not work. You have already did the correct first step and that is discontinuing the chemical processes, however once you stop this you must also do a series of deep conditioners, hot oil treatments (depending on your ethnicity), and regular rejuvenating treatments...and keep the damaged hair cut---the ends. You may also want to seek a professional for the first couple of treatments, but you must find someone who is into hair care--not just styling and processing. It could also be due to medication and the mixture of chemicals/processes you were using---even birth control products

Good luck

This may or may not be your problem.... I was just diagnosed with PCOS- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.... and one of the symptoms of this disease is hair thinning. I also had extremely thick hair most of my life up until the last few years and now it is extremely thin. This probably isn't your problem, but if you are interested look up PCOS and see if you might have some of the other symptoms. Hopefully you don't, but I wanted to share with you my cause of hair thinning.

Answer 8

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/9gjRP
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.

Answer 9

Fighting a losing battle.

All that dyeing and heat damage has f*cked your hair roots i'm afraid.

Nioxin is your best - and SAFEST - bet.

Otherwise shave it all off and find a wig you like the look of..

Answer 10

try Nioxin hair products. The whole line is for fine thinning hair.
it WORKS.
ask a salon professional.
available at JC Penney Salons, Trade Secret, any other professional salon.
kind of pricey, and you have to use the whole line, but its WORTH IT.

Answer 11

You can buy hair- thickning products like shampoo and conditioner, I think Pantene offers such a range.
