Hi, awhile ago, over the span of 1-2 years maybe, i have been using a really harsh shampoo that caused my hair to fall out drastically. Once i noticed there are parts of my scalp that had really thinning patches of hair (places where, incidentally i placed the shampoo with my hands when massaging it in), i panicked and stopped using it. That was a little over a year ago. Since then, the company that made the shampoo suspiciously changed the formula, bastards....
Anyway, i was just wondering will my hair ever return to normal? Those areas are still quite thin, and it has been over a year since i switched over to natural shampoos, and for the greater part of my life my hair has been unbelievably thick (it still is in the other areas, which makes my hair look unbalanced and weird because of the thinning areas). Or, would this chemical damage initiate a premature onset of Male pattern baldness? (since i am a guy anyway, and some of the thinning areas are on the top of my scalp)

I sugest you go see a Doctor about it. He or she may be aware of the adverse effects of the shampoo in question and may have a treatment for you.
Then I think you should also go online to see if there is a class action lawsuit against these people that you should join into to try and recover some of your loss.
Generally speaking hair (and fingernails), grows at approximately 1/2 inch a month.

Shampoo should not ever make your hair fall out. It is *supposed* to touch the scalp, how else can you effectively use the product?!
There may be an underlying medical issue here. Or probably just plain old male pattern baldness (genetic, not chemical induced) that has nothing to do with shampoo at all. But if you are concerned, please see your doctor about this issue.

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aLYPS While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

Normal hair grows one half inch per month. I don't know if this was affected by the product you were using. A good salon/spa should be able to tell you . Good luck.

oh sorry to hear that.. Guess it really depends on genetics and how fast your hair grows. You could always try and over the counter hair restoration treatment like Rogaine.. It seems to work pretty well .
