Your hair looks thick to me. Why do you think it’s thining ?

[Vanitis]

i never had a m shape before it was a perfect hairline now in the past year its been moving up around my temporal areas my right side is still ok but my left has receded signicficantly i do mess with my left temporal area a lot like every 10 mins but thats beacuse im terrified of loosing it could that be causing it?

[JOzzy2010]

If you don’t mind me asking your age ? Also yes this could be causing it too. I actually just got over diagnosing my hair fall. I’m 25 right now and I don’t have signs of mpb but more of diffuse thinning. I was aacyually able to stop it and now am seeing new hair and regrowth. There’s a couple of things you should be aware of.

1) what shampoo are you using?

2) do you take multivatims/ fish oils ?

3) do you smoke marijuana regularly or take any prescription drugs ?

4) do you workout ? If you do are you using any supplements ?

5) did you have a traumatic experience that could of triggered the hair loss ?

6) are you a heavy caffeine user ?

And yes that could be causing you to lose it. Stop touching it, look up traction alocopia traction.

Hair loss is an absolute side effect of iron deficiencies so make sure that is sorted with blood work every six months, but consult your doctor on this. Eat lots of green vegetables, organic meats, cut out sugars and exercise. Identify any mineral or vitamin deficiencies and take care of them. Done. If your loss continues seek the opinion of an IAHRS doctor. Oh, and stop pulling your hair back to see where you've lost it. This indicates two things. You're OCD, and if you have to keep pulling your hair back to see if you have any loss, you probably don't have any to speak of.

It's worth noting that not all green veggies contain a lot of Iron but specifically dark leafy greens. That being said, the Iron present in those is in the form of a strong complex preventing most absorption, at least for humans. Eating animal liver is better, as meat doesn't contain quite as much, or taking a chelated supplement will be more efficient. The complex in quality supplements is just strong enough to favor solubility but not enough to prevent absorption.

I was referring to green vegetables as a part of a basis for solid overall nutrition, not specifically for iron deficiencies. I didn't want to get into too many details because that would take a small book, which I'm not qualified to write. Point being, don't eat junk food, eat as clean as possible and identify vitamin and mineral deficiencies and have them addressed with a long term plan.

Il get to eating a lot more stuff with iron in it and buy vitamins hopefully it stops thank you!

Make sure you eat around 15% protein if you are sedentary or around 20% if you are lifting weighs a lot. Keratin is a protein and if you lack amino acids in your diet your body will prioritize, hair is not very high priority...Also consider adding MSM supplements or eat stuff high in sulfur. This element is the third most abondant in your body and is crucial to the synthesis of amino acid Cysteine. All Keratin fibers are linked together by a bond call "disulfide bond" formed between 2 Cysteine residues. In short, your hair really needs it. Vit A, B complex, Zinc and copper are also quite importante. All minerals and vitamins are important but those are the most important for hair health.
