Maybe its my scalp?

**LeanaBrook** · 08-15-2007 12:06 PM

Everyone here seems pretty knowledgeable so let me throw something out there and hope for the best. I genetically have fine hair from my dad (thanks a lot dad!). My whole family, besides my father and I, have thick thick beautiful hair. ME... on the other hand struggle daily with the mirror feeling its THINNER than the day before. I feel like its more than just having fine hair... like my scalp isnt strong enough to keep my hair healthy or something. Its breaking and falling out and doesnt even grow anymore. Im depressed about it daily. Friends suggest hair extensions... but my scalp cant even keep in my own light weight hair... let along big ol chunks of heavy salon bought hair. HELP ME PLEASE!!?? I dont want to be bald by time Im 30.

Hi Leana

I am 47 and my hair has been fine and at times very thin. I think my hairloss has always been related to meds of any sort and I am still trying to sort it all out.

I could never use extensions either because they would have just fallen out. I have always thought that if I needed to I would just buy a wig.
I have spent so many years worrying I would go bald and it has not happened yet.

I think lifestyle makes a big difference. I have always worked out hard, followed a healthy diet and lifestyle, used mild shampoos, colored my hair 2x a year, rarely blow dried my hair and have avoided meds that caused hairloss.

Stress has also contributed to my hairloss over the years. The more I worry, the more it falls.

This forum is a wonderful outlet.

my hair used to be so thick and curly and strong but over the past three years i got psoriosis [ spell? ] well i think thats what it was because i was too embarassed to tell anyone it was yyucky , but after a year and half it went but then my hai started getting thinning and thinner ...and now its so thin i feel so depressed and like you my scalp feels like it cant keep my hair in , every time i run my fingers through my hair strands of hair break out from scalp.
im only 18.
and extentions REALLY hurt.even those cheap clip in strands.
and ive tried every thickening shampoo.
