I went to a trichologist yesterday because my hair has been getting thinner and thinner each day and

He said instead of like regular dandruff that flakes off, my scalp is oily and that the sebaceous glands are clogged with the dandruff and it is making each new hair grow in thinner and thinner and not allowing my hair to grow very long. I'm very disheartened. I've been very depressed about this hair to the point of avoiding wind activities and some public activities. I used to have long naturally curly fine thin hair but it was thick enough to look thick and pretty. Now I look like I've been through chemo, but I haven't. I had some chemical damage done last year, but the trichologist said that this is not due to that and would have happened anyway. He gave me 4 treatments while I was there as I live 4 hours from where he is, and he put me on an at-home daily scalp cleansing regimen with nightly treatments as well. I used his cleansing regimen yesterday for the first time and my hair shed BAD, but it was a tad bit more manageable. I woke this a.m. to VERY thin sides to the poin

I have never been to a trichologist but I have seen my regular doctor and I was having the same problem. My doctor told me it was psorasis but I didn't believe her. In addition to thinning hair and losing it I was getting scabs and dryness all throughout my head and it was even visible along my whole hairline down to my forehead. I have lost a lot of my hairline becuase I would pick at it.

I was given T-Gel and used it but it didn't work that much, dried my hair out a lot. I went to my hairstylist and she gave me a scalp treatment that hurt so bad but when I came away the scalp flakes and my hairline looked a lot better. I would recommened that you go to Sallys and buy Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Conditioner. (Any beauty store, the generic will also work). Ask the store people for a comb that has teeth that you can hold on to and just massage your scalp with. It should cost about a dollar. Don't use shampoo anymore and only condition your hair. Do NOT wash or condition your scalp...ONLY your hair. Make sure you only run water through your scalp and massage your scalp in the shower. I think that you should see results. I have! Find a good stylist also.

Try a wig...I know it sounds stupid, but there are some really pretty ones, at least until your hair is under control....and remember, you are beautiful...and getting a good wig will help you feel that way!! Good Luck

I know it might seem really bad right now, but think of it in the a brighter light. Once it's under control, you can have your beautiful, thick hair back. Sometimes you gotta' go through a bit of pain to get to somewhere great.

I'd stick to it. :)

In the end, it'll all be worth it. In the meantime, you could invest in a wig. Yeah, it sounds old fashioned, but there are some really natural looking one's out there that'll look great.

Don't worry. No amount of hair chemicals is going to turn you into anything else. You are a woman, and you're a human. You'll come out fine. Just try to look into the future, and not to be so glum. Maybe organise a get together with friends, or a picnic or something, to brighten your mood? They'll be there to support you too ^_^

Good luck! I hope all goes well for you.

have you been on any medication about the time this occured? I would see you GP and ask for a referral. Don't be frightened to massage you scalp whilst in shower as this will stimulate circulation wihih in turn brings more oxgenated blood to the area. Use a mild shampoo.
