Balding in the front

Hey people,
I am 26 yr old woman, mother to a 1.9 yr old girl. For the past 1 year I ve noticed that i am losing hair in the front, especially when i part my hair or when i stand directly under bright light i can c tiny areas where there is significant hair loss. I feel extremely conscious when i stand under bright lights. I dont tie my hair very tightly, have not coloured my hair but still this problem. I never suffered too much of hair loss after delivery. My hair loss was very normal. But these days I feel so conscious when i luk at my hair. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Dear Sri,

Hair loss is a big worry to many people, both male and female. If you have a worrying amount of hair in the basin after shampooing, you may think you are on the way to baldness. But this is not usually the case. The 50–100 hairs that everyone loses each day often become tangled with the rest of the hair, but are washed out when we shampoo. So we see what seems like a lot of hair in the basin after shampooing, but in reality these hairs have been shed earlier.
Of course, bald areas are an obvious sign of hair loss, but otherwise it can be difficult to tell whether your hair is getting thinner. To find out, try the ‘tug test’. Hold a small bunch of hair – about 15 or 20 hairs – between the thumb and index finger. Pull slowly and firmly. If more than six hairs come out there may be a problem.

Excessive hair loss can occur if any of the stages of hair growth become disrupted. For example, if follicles shut down (meaning that they stay in the resting phase and then shed the hair) instead of growing new hairs, there will be less hair on the head.
Another reason might be interference with the formation of new hair cells at the root during the growing phase; this occurs with some anticancer drugs. If follicles have been destroyed (as they might be by, for example, a burn or by some skin diseases), there will be baldness in that area.
An individual can also look bald if the hairs are growing but are so fragile that they break just as they emerge from the follicle, or if they are very small and thin.

What ever may be the reason, i would suggest you to have a visit to a doc associated treating hair loss or a dermatologist

Wish you Good Luck

Cheers

Hi Srividya,

u r getting baldness in front if it is like general loss of hair may be due to some deficiency but if u r getting patch like baldness losing hairs at few particular spots then u meet dermatologists it may be due to some fungal or other infection which can be cured very easily. so take care

this is v common in ladies u need not worry at all
wot u need to do is change ur parting or comb ur hair up without parting
try to reduce the bulkiness of ur behind hair bcz of pulling and heaviness of the bak hair u tend to loose in the front .
let ur hair relax and dont use hair clips or slides which wud make trauma for ur hair . ur in karnataka so go to a parlor and get hi frequency done wht a ozone machine which will stimulate the hair follicles in tht area
u can get this every weekly and apply any minidoxil with 2% mintop, pilogrow,morr,follica any of ur choice take a multi vitamin with zinc daily
which will settle ur problem
