Please help why is my hair thin am only 16 why is this happening ?
Sorry to hear that, 16 is pretty young for significant hair thinning but it’s not impossible. It could be early onset AGA, or things like stress-related TE or scalp conditions like dermatitis. Check for any irritation or flaking on your scalp. Consider ketoconazole shampoo or CBD with MCT oil if it looks like sebderm. Give treatments some time, they can take a while to work. Check The Beginner’s Guide for more on treatments.
I get it man, losing hair at 16 is so scary and makes me feel so unsure about the future…
Reading tressless threads and seeing progress helps me build confidence that treatment will save us though!!! The most common I always see is min+fin+microneedling, though idk if fin is readily prescribed to minors.
Try getting a blood test to identify any deficiencies - usually at 16 one can book their own GP appointments! If you discover anything, like a Vitamin D deficiency, you can buy supplements from a pharmacy. From there I’d begin a simple routine to ease myself into. Rosemary oil is believed to work well - just make sure you’re consistent and either get it premixed or mix it yourself with a carrier oil. I got the pre-diluted Nature Valley bottle, it’s gentle for me and makes my scalp smell nice! You can easily purchase derma rollers online too.
If possible, I’d book a dermatologist appointment at the GP for professional advice and a diagnosis too.
Don’t forget stress can also lead to hairloss, stay confident bro! You’re starting early, too, so if you stick to a good routine and learn from the amazing people here, you’re very likely to reclaim your hair :3
