Daughter Losing Hair After Chemical Straightening
My daughter had a small piece of hair staightened at the beginning of March. By Easter we noticed a small patch of balding. Thinking it was due to the straightening and possibly getting into the pool ( she is a swimmer) without washing her hair we just watched the area. It is now May and the balding has spread to the front 1/4 of her head and continues to grow. Could this still be a reaction from the chemicals? If so why has it spread so much from the orignal chemically treated spot? What should I do to prevent more hair loss? Thank you.
It sounds strange that she is losing hair on the front 1/4 of her head. Maybe your description is off and pictures may help, but nevertheless, I would take her to see a doctor to make sure there are no other medial issues associated with her hair loss.
Chemicals can cause skin irritation and reaction, and may cause temporary hair loss. It usually takes up to one year for hairs to regrow if this is the case.
I used hair chemical straightening on 28th nov, 2008. It causes lots of hair loss and my hair became too thin and I didn’t know what to do! My hair was healthy and good, but after hair chemical straightening it became so dry, thin , unmanagble and ugly! I’m very depressed know and lots of my social activities have been canceled as I don’t have the ability to go out and meet people.
I went to the doctor and I used lots of medicine with no results.. Know I’m using mesotherapy treatment from march, the hair loss has been stopped but there is no regrowth hair till know. I really need help please!! Tell me doctor what can I do more to regrowth my hair and to get healthy hair again.
My health is good and I eat lots of vegetables.
