I Lost 50% of My Hair Thickness as a Teenager

Hello

When i was about 14-15 years old, my hair began to thin all over. It did not recede at all and i probably lost 40-50% of the thickness of my hair. I am now 33 and my hair, in the last 18 years, has never become thinner or thicker.

What do you think could have caused this, i am now in the armed forces and have regular medicals/bloodtests which show i am fit and healthy. It has always baffled me how my hair thinned and then just stopped, without ever recovering or getting worse.

Thanks

There is often a change in hair thickness as we pass teenage years. Most people recognize the bulk that they had when they were young, not the density. Hair usually gets finer to some degree as we age. The question to ask is: “Is the hair shaft thickness uniform all over the scalp?” If it is uniform, then you accept this new hair shaft thickness as the mature you and if you want to thicken it, you can use styling adjuncts for that purpose. If you have a diffuse alopecia like DUPA, then you should be examined and get your hair mapped out for miniaturization and it will show up on the video images.
