My Hair Has Been Thinning for 2 Years Since Chemical Straightening

I’m 22 years old and so far looks like I have began to thin. Funny thing is about 2 years ago My hair was super thick like horse hair and there was plenty of it. I decided to straighten my hair and I did then I did it a week right after the first straightening myself. I’m curious If that could of caused my hair to thin out over the 2 years cause after the straightening it, like a month in it started to shed, but slowly. Currently it stopped shedding completely and just stays on my head.

Now My 2 older brothers who are 33 and 28 have thick head of hair and I’m 22 I mean I’m hoping that I don’t go bald before they do cause at this rate It looks as though I am. Seriously bugs me need to figure out my problem…

Chemical straightening is not the cause of hair loss in general unless you burned your scalp. Either way, after two years it is hard to correlate if chemical straightening was the cause. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but I really cannot say! It’s also entirely possible that your older brothers got “lucky” and the hair loss gene didn’t get passed to them, as it can skip generations.

Since the hair loss really bothers you, I suggest you see a physician and get a good examination. You’re not too far from my Los Angeles office if you’d like to make an appointment (the consult is free). You can call my office at 310-553-9113 if you’re interested.
