My daugater has bin losing her gradually since the age of 10 she is now 14. Her hair she now very thin and it has lost all it’s shine. She has had many blood test and the dr cannot find any underlying medical problems. She has recently developed excema on her hands. About a year ago she had a wart like itches bump on her scalp that she always itches, the dr froze it but it cameback. She has a good diet n she plays after school sports. She loves life and tell me she has no problems at school. Please help.

My daughter (15) experienced this same thing. We went to a dermatologist and she was diagnosed with telogen effluvium. This is usaually caused by some sort of trauma in the person’s life (in this case, my daughter lost a close friend at school). If you have not yet consulted a dermatologist, I would highly recommend it, along with blood tests to check her thyroid. Hope this helps.

I am in the same type of situation. My duaghter is 18 and her hair has been thinning for the last year. It’s is thinning on the top of her head, begining at the part. I have taken her to 2 blood tests so far and they have only found that her prolactin level is high. I feel so nervous over this situation because I feel the doctors just dismiss it. The test comes back high with prolactin and they tell us to come back in 3 months to have another one!!!!! Do something about it now! I have been doing a lot of research on this because she is so upset over it. I have now made an apppointemt with an Endocrinoligst. We’ll see where that takes us!

I’m 16, and for about five months now my hair has been thinning at the part, mainly in the front. Just recently it started thinning in the back. I thought it was because my cousin gave me lice, but the lice has been gone for a while and it hasn’t gone away. I used to have thick hair, but it isn’t anymore… Might be stress because I lost two dear friends recently, and since I have gained weight and my hair has started thinning. I’m going to go to the doctor though.

hi i am a 15 year old girl and my hair has always been very fine…i have always had this one spot on the corner of the front hairline that is very thin. i have reached an age where it is really starting to bother me and i cant tell if it is getting worse or if i am just really noticing it now. its very thin and in the sunlight it looks like a bald spot because the hair there is so see through. now im so paranoid and i just wanna cry every time im out in public and i feel like people are staring. i never wear my hair down because it is so fine and wispy i just hate it and im sick of no products working. i just wanna curl up in a ball and not face the cruel world

Hi my names reyn and Im 15. I have been experiencing increasingly thinning hair loss on the top of my scalp to the point where you can see my scalp if I stepped out into the sun. Im a guy so I figured I could shave my head so I have nothing to worry about, but I moved to a private school and they prohibit shaving your head. does anyone know a hair style thatll hide my bald spots?

@ Reyn

Dude, I’m in my early 20’s and my hair’s been thinning too. You should know that every guy who loses his hair, whether it’s at 15 or 51 has similar feelings about it. It’s a traumatic experience. And if your parents and school administrators are decent people, they’d understand why you’d want to shave your head to hide the bald spots. If they value your self esteem and feelings so little that they’d make you feel embarassed that way, then fuck ‘em. Shave it anyway. What are they gonna do?

hi im chinny im 14 years old my hair not thinning but i have a bald on my hair at the top and front and i was really scared maybe its getting worse please help me.

Hey I’m Sammy and I’m 14 1/2. My and my mum was having a chat about hair andpointed out at the front of my parting i had a small patch of no hair. This made me feel like crying. We think it is because of me NEEDING to straighten my hair as i am embarrassed about my natural hair (curly that looks stupid on me). About a year ago when I had my natural full fringe turned into a side fringe and my longish hair shortened to thin length I started to straightened and blow dry it everyday and I’ve noticed my hair is looking thinner. It used to be quite thick, but now I’m worried, friends sometimes makes remark and stuff and so I’m gonna see my hair dresser but could suggest any particular treatments???
Thanks for reading and please help, this is a nightmare

Hey My name is Kristen and I’m 15. My hair used to be very thick and for about 7 months now, my hair has been thinning to the point where you can see through my hair and see my scalp.My doctor says it stress so I try not to focus on it too much but now i can’t help but to worry because I’m going to be going back to school and it’s gotten worse. I don’t know what to do. Please help me.

I’m 19 and I’ve been having this problem for a while now. My hair also seems straighter as well. I lost a lot of weight, I mean I weigh in the 160s now, my lowest was 150, and I used to be 300+.I’ve been on a gradual thing where my hair seems to be getting finer and finer and seems to come out easier, up until about age 16 I had thick,wavy shiny hair, now it is so straight, dull and fine. No curls ever…And I also have blue fingernails alot with my fingers turning white and a worsening arrhythmia…

That’s Exactly How i Feel i Am 15 Nd My Hair is Just getting worse i HATE it its getting so thin i even hate going to school cause of it i don’t know why is happening i been looking at website trying to find something but i don’t know i just can’t find anything that really helps me get back some think hair!

I am 14 years old and have started losing hair . Everytime I run my hand through my hair a few strands come out .I am scared I don’t know what to do about it …………..

That’s exactly like me! I’m almost 16 and I’ve been losing hair for abou a year now. It has gotten do thin. Mostly my longest layers. I have tried everything, I had a blood test and found out I needed more b12so I’ve been on that as well as iron, biosil, multivitamins, serums, baby shampoo, thickening shampoo, eating healthier, not using heat irons as much. Nothing has worked! I find hairs all over my room and at least 8 come out everytime I run my fingers through it. I recently lost my mom so it could be stress but I’ve always had a stressful life so I don’t know how to tell or stop it, my hairloss is litterally always on my mind and it makes me even more stressed! It helps to know I’m not alone but I wish it would stop

I have very baby fine hair that began thinning as I got older. I’ve tried every shampoo I could find that said the word “volumizing” and bought them. Needless to say, not one of those products stood up to their word. I had been using Shielo’s Volume Flexible Hair spray for quite some time and then I’d use a hair pick to ‘lift’ areas so my hair appeared to be fuller. The scent was just wonderful and it washed out with little effort. After blow drying and styling my hair, it did appear thicker and fuller as if I had more hair. I used the Shielo Volume Shampoo as well, and it took about 3 washings for the results to show. My hair took to the curling iron set on low with less time and I achieved better loose curls that lasted longer. It must have been pretty obvious as I was getting comments such as “did you get extensions in your hair?”. I just said “no, I got smart and got Shielo”
