Hair Breaks 3 Inches From Root
I have a question for my friend.. She has had hair breakage about 3 inches from the root. She has had over 15 surgeries in the past 7 years due to a motorcycle accident.. Her hair breaking has been an issue for over a year or 2.. She has had blood work done and nothing was found wrong. She has made an appointment with a hair specialist to do a test on a piece of her scalp. Is there any other simple reason that the doctors would be looking over like her nutrition? I am concerned for her and I wanna help her as much as I can.. If you have any answers for me I would appreciate it.
Stress from surgery can cause hair to fall out. I have often stressed (no pun intended) the importance of miniaturization mapping of the scalp to see the pattern of hair loss. This may be of benefit to your friend.
With regard to hair breakage (if it were you), I would want to know more about how you manage your hair, how you brush/comb it, what shampoos and conditioners you use, what changes you have implemented prior to noticing the breakage problem, and what the nutritional status of your body is (the hair may reflect vitamin and other nutritional deficiencies).
I have a similar problem with my hair. It is naturally a “dishwater blond” color or a light brown. For the past 2-3 years I’ve been getting the roots highlighted a dark blond. My hair is naturally course, straight and thick. It is also to the middle of my back. The past year or so I have been progressively losing my thick hair and have severe breakage as short as 3 inches or so. It all blends together but many people have suggested that I’ve thinned my hair so much and its been razor cut. It appears that way because of the amount of breakage. At the front of my head it actually looks like I recently cut bangs. I don’t know what to do. I’ve been to a dermatologist who told me to begin taking vitamins. I stopped using a straight iron every day, began washing it every 2 days instead of 1 and use many moisture enriched conditioners. I’ve seen no change in 4 months. It actually looks worse. Any suggestions?
Yeah i have a suggestion, its your hormones and a lack of protein and keratin in your diet. You can actually get keratin hair treatments at your local salley beauty stores ask someone about “aphogee” hair care line, they contain this as one of their man ingradfients give it a try! and i would also recommand a heat protector a great one i use is marraco oil a.k.a Argan oil good luck!!!
