Question: “I am a 17-year-old female. I used to have very thick, long, black hair. It started thinning i can’t say exactly when or why. Am I not eating enough vitamins? Is it because I dyed my hair? I also blow-dry and straighten my hair. Is that bad for my hair? I really want my long, thick hair back. Will it grow back?
Answer: “You should have a proper examination of your scalp performed. You need to have your overall health checked out, looking for a variety of hormonal issues and diseases that can cause hair loss. If you do not have miniaturization or other causes of hair loss and thinning, you may be experiencing a change to a new adult hair type. Some people, maturing from teens to adults, experience a change in their hair character. Call my office for a consultation, or find a good doctor you can trust to help you out. “
