Title: Introduction + Question
Post by: tinman on December 21, 2009, 01:00:23 PM

Hello, Im new to the community. Im 16. So, Im mostly here for questions and such.

I dont know where else to post this so I figured I would do it in my introduction. Do you think I am going bald?

I dye my hair a lot and I havnt had long hair for a long time. My rents tell me its just where my hair breaks at. Ive also noticed a lot of males/females in my fam have the same thing.

Okay, Ill just to get a high quality one here in a sec.

Edit--

I took another picture, increased the quality, sharpened, removed noise and circled the spot. Hope that helps, sorry about the webcam quality.

It's still hard to tell from my computer.  Though, if it really concerns you, I'd check with a dermatologist.  How long ago did you notice this?

I think you have a few years before you have to worry about losing your hair. You'r e 16 my Friend..... enjoy those years because they'll be gone soon enough. You can worry about this type of thing later.

I wouldn't worry at all about it--if it is the beginning it's going to be many years before you need to think about sly as a solution.  Right now, with your parents consent, sly is only an alternative hairstyle.  Enjoy your life, hair isn't your concern.

My wife was a hairdresser and I have heard horror stories about women who dye their hair at home.  I imagine that is what you do?  This is especially true for bleached hair.  If the bleach is not applied properly, breakage is common.  Lay off the dye for a while and see if the breakage stops.  When my wife was in beauty school she let a fellow student bleach her hair, all OK, but when this fellow student tried to dye the roots, something went awry.  All the hair on my wife's crown broke off about 1/2 inch from the scalp.  It was wig city for over a year.   Be careful!
