My interest in female hair loss sprung from my own experience with extensive hair loss. Determined to grow my hair back, I diligently studied every piece of information I could find on the biology of hair growth. After successfully re-growing my hair with safe and effective natural products, I felt compelled to learn more and to share this information with other women. I am experienced in blending custom hair loss formulas. I am also experienced in writing about female hair loss issues.

Hair Loss - hair loss

Expert: Melanie Vonzabuesnig - 10/31/2009

Question
Hello I'm 18 years old (African American)and i appear to have a bald spot above my hair line in the back on the left side. I believe it has been bald for about 3 months now and it hasn't grown back yet. So I'm wondering what type of product would be best for me to grow my hair back?

Answer
Hi Jemeka: There are several possible causes for bald spots including fungal infection, bacterial infection causing scalp folliculitis, chemical burn from harsh products, traction alopecia, alopecia areata and certain illnesses. As long as the follicles are still alive, regrowth is possible. If scarring has occurred, the underlying follicle will no longer be able to produce hair. Scarring can occur from chemical burns, untreated long-lasting scalp infections and certain illnesses. Essential oil scalp treatments are very effective for stimulating hair growth as long as the follicle is still alive. You can read more about the types and causes of female hair loss and about using essential oil treatments at the links provided below. Please let me know if I can help you further.
