Hair Loss - thining hair


Expert: Peter J. Panagotacos, <B>M.D.</B> - 3/26/2004

Question
hey peter

i Recently about a week ago noticed substanial thining above my forehead, a small area. I started blow drying about 2months(never have) and wondering A: what are the reasoning for this small patch of thining hair
         B: could it be from the blow drying and or what products makes your hair thin out.

I'm 28, full head of hair everywhere,curly(so blowdrying is very help full)
I stopped with gel and mousse about 5yrs ago, all i been using is hair spray for past year, but thining happened about a week ago. I also just came back from vacation and did drown it in thickining cream gel(made by biosilk) and hair spray with little washing it. Could it maybe be from too much ware and tear.

need help

thanks joe

Answer
It could be from breakage of the hair shafts from all the stuff you are doing to your hair but it is also an area where male pattern baldness frequently begins to show up. If you see a dermatologist you can get an examination of the scalp and hairs to see if they are fractured or being lost from the roots because of some other cause such as heredity.
