My hair is thinning out?

I'm worried. My hair is the thinnest it has ever been. I do lose a little hair (a few strands) everytime I shampoo/condition my hair, but lately I noticed how thin it really is. It has thinned out over the years, and I'm not sure if it's due to coloring treatments or age (I'm 23). I'm worried that by this time next year, I will have almost nothing left. When I do style my hair, it looks a lot thicker than it is. I was thinking about hair extentions..not to add to the length, but to add to the width. Are there any products out there to help my hair grow thicker? I'm taking prenatal vitamens because I was told they'd make my hair grow stronger (due to the iron). Thanks!

Blow drying, treating your hair with color and other things damage your hair. Your hair might be more sensitive than other peoples.

When washing your hair try to be gentle. It is normal to lose hair though.

Don't style your hair or do things to it that are unnatural.

There are shampoos that strenghtens your hair. check up on that at the store! I believe Pantene Pro-V has it. Thats the shampoo I use. Goodluck

there are volumizing creams and things, but I dont think this would help for your problem. I would suggest to go see a hair stylist or even a doctor about it. They might know what to do.

My hair is thinning out?

I have had thinning hair for years. I was using rogaine everyday (twice a day) and it didn't work. I went to a dermatologist and she sent me for lab work to rule out various things (i.e. thyroid disease). After that she was able to treat it. Good Luck!!!

I have a few friends who have same probs, research on fruits and veggies that you can eat to help, and ask a professional hairdress what products to use, I know there are scalp treatments, you could also save up for the future to have surgery. try not to wash and blowdry to often. Keep the vitamins up!

My hair is thinning out?

You might be blow drying it/coloring or flat ironing it too much. Limit doing that to maybe once a week. And you might be washing it too much so wash it every other day or so. Try getting a damaged hair shampoo too.

My hair is thinning out?

Is your hair breaking off? Can you see a lot of short hairs? Or, is it falling out at the root, like where you can see more of your scalp than before? If you think it's breaking off, it could be from styling damage. If it's truly thinning, you might need to check with your doctor to rule out thyroid disease, stress,hormone imbalance, etc.. You're very young to experience genetically thinning hairloss, but usually this type of hairloss is concentrated on the top and crown areas ( not really affecting the back). After you've ruled out any medical issue, you can try several things: Rogaine, thickening shampoos and styling aids, a laser comb (can make hair look thicker after several weeks of use). Extensions might not work unless your thinning hair is mostly in the back. Coloring your hair or styling it won't make it fall out unless you're going to extremes. It's probably safe to keep doing these as long as you're taking care of your hair. Stick with the vitamins, and make an appt. with your doctor soon!

Get your thyroid checked. This same thing happen to meat age 21 and I found out my thyroid was to blame. I am now 27 and my hair is the thickist its ever been thank to the meds. Just a suggestion.

My hair is thinning out?

Apply the white of a raw egg on the hair for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a shampoo. A mixture of lemon juice and egg white and oil massage could also be used to strengthen the roots of

hair. More remedies at http://hairthinning.org/ will prevent further problems.

Will this damage my hair?

i have big, poofy hair, and after a bad haircut, i cant be seen in public without straightening my hair (i now have bangs that only work with straight hair :D)

i only straighten my hair once a week, i use a heat protecting treatment when i straighten it, and i deep condition it once a week, but i've been doing this for about 2.5 /3 years. i've noticed my hair is getting kind of fried.

i'm going to get it trimmed so the unhealthy/poofy ends are off of it.

i love the way it looks when its straightened! but i dont want to damage my hair more!

oh and i have a Solia Ceramic Ionic straightening iron- so its not one of those cheap metal ones.

i love my hair straight....but i'm worried about damaging it....any tips?! thanks a lot!

Will this damage my hair?

My best suggestion is after you get any dead end cut off of it and it's completely healthy... try relaxing it.... or even better... they have a service called The Japanese hair straightening method... where they run a flat iron over your hair and it just stays straight permanently.. it takes longer than relaxing, but it's less harsher on your hair. :)

Hair washing/cultures?

Does anyone else agree with me that washing your hair once a week is absolutely repulsive? I'm not saying washing your hair every day is necessary, because some people really do have very dry, fragile hair. Why is it, however, that people goop their hair up with all kinds of oils/treatments because they have "naturally dry hair" then wash it only once per week? Then they go around with their long, nasty fingernails digging at their scalp because it's dirty and it itches. What's wrong with this picture? (and I put this question in society and culture because it's people of a certain culture who do this.)

Hair washing/cultures?

lol, its hilarious the way people get on the defensive when anything negative is said about their race.

I'll be honest the reason they don't wash their hair often is because it takes a very long time to get it back into a good manageable state, so in order to save time, energy and money the hair is washed less often.

But please try not to categorize people.

Hair washing/cultures?

i think that is gross especially if you put things in your hair you need to wash it out daily

Hair washing/cultures?

c'mon, dont be a coward, name your "certain culture". EDIT: no I dont agree with you, I just dont like cowards who wish to disparage people for whatever reason. Maybe you stink and have crust between your toes. Doesnt bother me at all, I can move away from you if Im offended by your smell, but Im not going to go home and call my cousin and discuss it or make a question on yahoo about it.

Hair washing/cultures?

opinions are like @ssholes....everyone has one.

Hair washing/cultures?

what does "natural" water mean? is that some spiffy way of saying rain?

Hair washing/cultures?

It's gross. Imagine their bed at home smelly. I practice good hygiene. I wash my hair/bathe everyday sometimes 3x/day. Mornings in the begining of the day, or when I get home from work or shopping, and always before I go to bed, I just like feeling fresh and clean. I am asian.

I got a Thumbs down? I guess its TRUE to the question being asked. TRUE to all the answers got a thumbs down too. It's good question got some people upset.

Hair washing/cultures?

Hahahaha! No, do you know what's reaaaally nasty? There is this certain culture that smells like a dog when they get wet. I just find it so insulting when they have the nerve to approach me and actually try and start a conversation with me...and I'm just sitting there like "omigod...like why are you talking to me?" -

Now THAT is very repulsive. It's even more crazy because they supposedly have to wash their hair every day but when "natural" water touches them...they just...smell like a dog. I don't get it?

Hair washing/cultures?

I guess that would be repulsive but I know some races that when their hair is wet they smell like dog. I also know other races that I find it repulsive to smell certain foods. However, I just learn to deal with it because people are different and mind my own business.

Spoiled American girl, welcome to the real world. Live and learn.

Hair washing/cultures?

black people are the only ones who put things in their hair. and yeah some of us don't wash our hair every day but we aren't the ones getting little bugs called lice. are we? we don't wait until our hair stinks. that's gross. people who wash there hair every day do it because there is too much oil, we just require some. is it so bad to put oil in our hair so it doesn't get dandruff and have flakes everywhere and my motto is if it itches then wash it . maybe those people don't understand that which is why there finger nails are dirty because they are scratching away there skin instead of washing away what is irritating their scalp

Hair washing/cultures?

blacks are gettin mad because they are the ones who never wash their hair. and they are getting defensive as usual. Blacks dont like to wash their naps cuz then its gets fluffy and I love how angry they are at this post. its IS f-ing gross so deal with it.
