Hey everyone,
I'll tell you my weird story. I have had medium length hair for about six months now. The last time I really had short hair was about that six months ago and never noticed my hair thinning.
Now about three months ago I switched from using gel, to using glue. I didn't realise the glue had alcohol in it. I've also dyed my hair once in that time period.
A couple of days ago one of my co-workers had mentioned that my hair was looking thin, but I dismissed it, because I've gotten the same comments in the past, because I've had spikey hair for the past five years and usually you can see some of the scalp, but once you put your hair down without anything in it, people then realise that it's nothing.
So, tonight I shaved my head with the number 3 guard on my clippers and took everything off.
My co-worker was correct. I have had major hair loss in the past six months. I'm talking about shocking. From the cowlick in the back of my head, to the front of my hair has major loss. It looks like I'm headed towards having a Captain Picard.
My question is this... it doesn't seem natural. My mothers hair is a little thin, but that's do to medication that she takes. Baldness doesn't run on either side of my family.
Can the recent switch in hair care products be the cause of such rapid loss??? I'm seriously wondering what the hell is going on. I wouldn't even have noticed this, unless I shaved my hair off.
