HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

I am a 21 year old female- When I was 14 I had a bald spot (alopecia)form on the crown of my head, but I used some cream that my doctor prescibed and my hair grew back. Then when I started University 4 years ago, I noticed a gradual amount of hair loss. Then 2 years ago I started using a hair straightener and that caused more hair loss. Then a year ago I got my hair chemically straightened. But now- I have stopped using the straightening iron for the past 3-4 months, the chemically straightened part of my hair grew out- so I cut my hair short- But I still continue to lose hair!!! When my hair is wet, you can see that my hair is thin in the front center of my head.

My mother has also experienced hair loss- but I think that has to do with menopause. My sister is also experiencing a great amount of hair loss- but she has never used a hair straightner or done anything chemically to her hair except wash it with shampoo.

I have noticed an increase in dandruff- it forms in large spots on my head. I have been using Head and Shoulders- but that seems to only make the dandruff more visible. I know that this is a long post- but I am going out of my mind- hair is a crucial thing for any girl!
