Thinning hair caused by damaged hair?

Hi, I'm 20 years old



recently I've noticed that my hair is sort of thinning, here is picture: http://i30.tinypic.com/25qg3o7.jpg



it is brittle, becomes greasy at the end of the day and it feels like there is just less hair when i touch my head.



now, my dad started losing his hair at 45 so i don't think this is due to heredity. He's now 57 and still has a lot of hair on his head. and it is not the same pattern at all either.



I haven't cut my hair in over 4 years.



I wash it everyday with finess 2 in 1 and blow dry it while using a curling brush. I always have hair in my hands when I wash it. and i lose some more when i blow dry it.



What i want to know is,



is it possible that my hair is thinning because i haven't cut it in so long? and if I do cut it very short, will it ever grow as long as now and as healthy as before?



thanks in advance.



Thinning hair caused by damaged hair?

blow drying your hair everyday is very damaging, you should think about getting it trimmed a little bit on the ends for a more healthy look. It will get rid of the fried / dead ends also why you're at the salon ask about some shampoo's and conditioner's that could help increase the volume in your hair.



best of luck.

Some people just have naturally thin hair which I think is whats happening in your case. If you notice clumps of hair falling out (a few strands in the shower is normal) head over to a doctor as it could mean numerous things. Try using a shampoo for oily hair and keep your hands out of it as much as possible. As for the cut, it is always healthy to get a regular trim. Also use serum or spray that protects from heat damage of blowdryers and irons. Don't kill your hair.



Goodluck!

I would strongly reccomend cutting your hair. Your hair is (probably) thinning because it is unhealty from not cutting it in awhile. You know, hair grows alot right after you cut it! Hope this helps!!

well I'll tell you what I know and you decide



There was this intersting product I saw- all natural -they say geishas used for long hair. its an oil nd you leave on overnight-



I was getting something else for my daughter when I saw it on site- tried it on her- she had shortish scanty hair- like most kids, i guess, and it worked very quickly on her- she's 2- also used it on her eyelashes like they said, and they are lovely and curvy now.



Her hair got thicker and longer in less than a couple of weeks- they said onsite will work faster for kids %26amp; short hair



Take a look- www.katuri.com



called natural hairgrow- I only took a sample size - was just enough for her - next time I get

I bet it is heredity. It doesn't mean that it is going to strike the same as it did at your dad's age. Mine started thinning too in my 20's. I'm a female so it makes it just that much more unacceptable than it does for a guy losing it. I told my doctor and he said that it was typical to lose 100 hairs a day. I think he thought I was just paranoid. Went to another doctor later and all she said was that all they could do is test me and test me and then tell me that it is going to fall out anyway. So unfortunately we have to come to terms with it. With your hair being greasy, it can clog the pores on your scalp. Get rid of the finesse. It will weigh down your hair. Use a professional product instead. I will recommend probably one of best things that I have ever had for my hair. Your hair will really be squeeky clean. You can find it online if you can't find it at a salon. It's Steiner London. You will want the Abundance. It's an intense volumizing shampoo. It's pricey at about $20. but a little goes a long way and mine last me several months. Since your hair is brittle I would say blow drying would attribute to a lot of it. Use a good moisture treatment I would use the light weight definition cream. If you wanted to ,you could get the SOS, but only use it once a month. Here's a site http://www.timetospa.com/product.asp?cat...



Another thing that is good for hair is to take biotin tablets.



Stress also causes hair loss as well as underlying medical conditions.



I was a beautician years ago, but I am also not a spokes person for these products. I just know what works for me. You only showed the top of your scalp so don't know what to tell you as far as the length of your hair. The longer it is, the more likely that it weighs your hair down. Perhaps a bit of sculpturing would help with some layers.
