Hair Question, Possibly Relating To Telogen Effluvium?

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Over the past one and a half months or so i’ve suffered a serious amount of hair fall and now there is a very noticable amount of thinning after it has been washed. it’s not so noticable in the day to other people but it seriously affects me. it has lost a significant amount of volume and it doesn’t feel like it used to barely a month and a half ago. A while back i did change my diet an awful lot for quite a while until i was eventually only 55 kilos. I’m 17 years old. I’m extremely worried and this experience is only adding to the stresses of my final year exams right now and has me feeling extremely self conscious and often depressed. Is there any chance at all that my hair will return to normal? it doesn’t seem to show the typical signs of hereditary balding (male pattern baldness). my hair was wonderfully thick not two months ago and now all of a sudden this happens. anyone who can give me advice or help me at all, your contributions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is It Safe To Assume (hair Question)?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Hey everyone i have a very full head of hair, with many many hairs and no signs of hairloss. Ok so the right side of my head i lift my hair up (relatively long) and i see my very nice and defined hairline and it looks very nice and dark (brown hair) and thick that i have absolutely no fear of balding, when looking at that side alone. On my left side, i also have a defined hairline however there are some smaller hairs that are regrowing on the very fringe of my hairline (which is a good sign i think) and i just want to know if this is a result of regrowth and uneven stages. As well as this i used to style my hair in a way where it would put more stress on the left side of my hairline, which would account for the uneven growth stages (could of pulled some out). I am almost 21, and my dad, my brother (23) and my mothers dad still have full heads of hair (i have a lot more hair then all of them as well). So when you consider that it is called ‘Male Pattern Baldness’, would it be safe to assume that considering i have NO FEAR whatsoever of balding on one side of my head, that i should have no fear of balding whatsoever for time being. Couple that with my family’s genetics (which i hope i picked up), do you think it is safe to assume that i am safe for the moment. Oh and when i was 18 i was stressing about almost the exact same problem, so if i was balding it should of been in full effect by now right? anyway im not stressing out i just like confirmation, thanks
