Hey. I'm 16 almost 17, male, and for the past 9 months or so my hair has been falling out. I didn't think anything of it at first, but now it's hard to ignore when my hair is wet, you can see lines of my scalp in the back, sometimes the sides, and the front. My hair use to be SO thick and I've lost about 70% of it. sometimes I'll run my hand through my hair and get 1 - 2 strands at any time. But thats not as often.
About 2 months ago I bleached my hair using hydrogen peroxide to make my hair blondish white.
So I had the hair-loss BEFORE I dyed it.
I use to really be into my hair, I had the ';animie'; hair. I can still do that but I see definite lines throughout it. This is me a year ago before I started loosing major hair.http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii309/Shes_Seen_Better_Days/TheJonny.jpg
(picture taken a year ago)
My scalp is red all the time, so it could be some sort of a rash, which caused my other friend to loose his hair, but it grew back
I've had some serious stress over the years, I was sexually abused when I was 12, I had a friend die, and for the past 5 months I've been living with some friends trying to keep them from killing themselves, and trying to get 2 of my friends out of prostitution. My good friend was just arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, and drug charges. Basically there's a LOT going on - I use to be a heavy cutter (would loose puddles of blood) drug user, and about everything else, And I quit all of that about 10 months ago.
I'm slightly bi-polar, get depressed a LOT, and have major anxiety. I do smoke sometimes, but I almost completely quit that.
About 2 years ago I was anorexic and would often throw up my food after meals, I was about 30 pounds underweight, (but I still had thick hair through all of this..)
I saw a professional hairdresser a few months ago and he said its normal under intense stress to loose about 50-70% of your hair, but it'll grow back..
I'm worried it wont grow back, and it has not really gotten better.
I do tend to overreact about things, but if you part my hair at any place on my head, you could see about a 16th of an inch to a quarter of an inch to my scalp
My dad still has a full head of hair, but on my moms side 70% of the guys have hairloss, but they never started at this young
I use to straighten my hair a lot, but I hear that it wont effect your hair unless you use it like 2 times a day.. which I diden't
AGH Please help! I'm starting to think my hair is lost and I better just butch it all off and get use to it.. and just wear more hoodies
- thanks.I'm 16 and losing my hair. Need answers fast?
Losing a little hair won't matter much when you have that much..
