Frightened I am going bald, and I am female...?

Have recently noticed 2 patches of hair that are snapping off. My hair is not coming out from the root, but where the hair is snapping, it is leaving short patches while the hair grows back. I thought it was due to my hair being overprocessed because the areas where the hair is snapping is very dry.


My hair dresser says that she thinks I need to take a supplement. My mum say it could be that I stopped the pill after 6 years and its affecting my hair, hormones everywhere. My sister in law thinks that I have burnt my hair with my hairdryer, as sometimes when I have been drying my hair, there has been a buring smell (have since changed my hair dryer). Anyone got any thoughts?? Am off to see doctor this week. Thanks

Do you use hair straightner? They can cause havoc with your hair - and hairdryers. It sounds like some sort of damage styling. Lay off the hairdryers and straightners for a while and dont colour your hair.
Reply:Here's A Couple Of Suggestions;





If You Use Straighteners, Its breaking Your Hair As Your hair Is Not Protected From Heat.





The Chemicals You Put In Your Hair, Like To Die Your Hair, Is Too Strong Or You Do It To Regularly, And Its Breaking Your Hair Off.





Stress.





Or Like Your Mum Says, Hormones.





Hope This Helped :)

sounds like heat damage. cut back on the heat and when you do use heat use a heat protectant and dont use the highest setting. Deep condition once a week. Use conditioner every wash, and drink lots of water. Moisture comes from within.





If its splits you need to cut them off. otherwise they're gonna travel up the shaft and cause more damage.





Also you can try air drying your hair for a while and use a leave in conditioner when you do so.





Hope that helps.

from what you are saying i have no doubt that it is due to over stressed hair - probably down to straightners and abuse x If it was alopecia it would be comin out from the cuticle so I certainly wouldnt blame hormones and advise supplements you should be giving your hair a break - a routine condition treatment and protect from hairdryers and straightners then you will find your hair will grow back effectively xx
