My hair is thinning out and what do i do?

i am 18 years old and my hair is thinning out. and i am pretty much really unsure why. when i was younger i use to have thick hair and it was curly. and i started to use hair products like hair gel and hairspray. my hair started to thin out a lot around 15 or 16. and now its to the point where it is noticeable. i know i have been through a lot of stress lately but i dont think it can make this much of a difference in my hair. i also straighten my hair and use hairspray so im wondering if that can be part of it? im not sure but im really getting worried because im so young and it just surprises me because hairloss in my family isnt common

There are many causes of thinning hair. Poor diet is one. If you're not eating enough or are eating unhealthy foods, that can cause hair loss. Certain medications can do it, as can stress, over-treating hair, and a whole host of other things. Talk to your doctor who can help you figure it out. Unfortunately, it can also just happen naturally. There are treatments out there than can help, but your doctor is going to be the best person to help you figure out what is going on.

Actually, stress can cause you to have thinning hair. As you grow older, you hair will thin out some. Losing hair daily as you brush and wash your hair is all normal. If you feel you are losing more than 200 strand of hair a day, it's nothing to worry about. One other possibility could be and over active thyroid.

Stress can be a factor but also if your thyroid isn't functioning properly you can have major hair loss. Go to a doctor and have it checked. It is just a simple blood test.

i can tell you two major reasons - stress and malnutrition (not getting enough nutrients, anorexia, bulimia, starving/depriving your body).

Jackie, honey, I suggest you STOP all hair products, and also straightening your hair. Give it a chance to BREATHE. All of those products "cake" on the shaft of the hair and then your hair can't breathe. It will be hard for a time but if you want beautiful, full hair again it will be worth the hassle. Also, use like baby shampoo on your head as it is the mildest shampoo out there, also use their no tangle stuff as well. I am truly sorry that you are going thru this at this age. It must be very disconcerting. I hope this has helped. Blessings to you and yours this Holiday Season.

Straightening your hair every day AND using hairspray? yeah thats the problem. Straightening your hair every day is not good for your hair. It makes it weak and brittle. And using hairspray isnt that bad... unless you comb out the hairspray instead of wash it out. If you pull your hair back in a ponytail or bun alot that can also cause your hair to fall out.

stop straightening your hair! My friend got her hair perminetly straightend. Its just like getting a perm. Also i suggest switching to Fructis Garnier shampoo and conditioner. Use Garnier Hair-strengthening/ thick long hair shampoo and for conditioner use Garnier long-and striaght. now... i dont think they are called those exact names but its something like that.

also...your hair could be dry maybe because you wash it too much. That strips your hair of your natural oils. try to wash it every other day.

hope this helped =P

You would be supprised how little stress it takes to make your hair fall out. Try using a more natural hairspray or just less.. .Also keep it away from your scalp. There is a really good shampoo called Nioxin. You can buy at some hair salons, sometimes CostCo, and other beauty supply stores. They have hair products too that are really good. It's a little expensive but if you get the really big bottle its a bit cheaper and you only use a little at a time.
