Hair thinning in front!

Recently, I've started to experience thinning hair in the front of my head.   My part also seems to be a bit wider as well.  I always lost a good amount of hair during washing and combing, but thought it was becuase I have very long hair - almost tailbone length.  Now, however, I really am beginning to worry.  The front is definitely thinner, and I am so afraid I'm going to get a bald spot!  My hair is such a big part of my life.  This is a nightmare!  Ha s anyone experienced anything similar?  What could be the possible cause?  I am going to make an appointment to see a doctor ASAP.  I'm trying to decide if I should go to my regular internist first, or to a dermatologist. 

Anyone who has any information or advice to offer, I would be so grateful.

I lost a lot of hair through an iron deficiency, I didnt even know I had one! Go to the doctor for blood tests to check your iron, thyroid, hormones etc. Some meds also cause hairloss. My hair stopped falling out so much after 2 months on iron supplements but still waiting for regrowth after 5 months. You need to be under doctor supervision when taking iron as it can be dangerous to take such large amounts in supplements. Good luck.

It isn't bad for a woman to be bald. Some female fashion models even shave their heads and wear the bald look. It is a sexy, unique, exotic look for a woman if she is a nice looking woman. I've seen a number of beautiful women wearing the bald look, either because they are bald with alopecia or they shave their heads because they prefer to wear the bald look. Natalie Portman and Bai Ling both said when they shaved their heads that they got many compliments and felt very beautiful and feminine being bald. They liked wearing the bald look.

I am a lady in my 30s, who is completely bald with AU and have been for years, and I am plenty beautiful.
I am with a wonderful handsome man (who has gorgeous long hair) who thinks I am adorable, and I have three great kids (who all have full heads of hair).
I wear blonde bob cut wigs, but also on occasion doll myself up in a sexy dress, makeup and beautiful long dangle earrings and go out on the town bald, and I usually get compliments on my bald look. Bald is beautiful on ladies!

So you are a Dallas Cowboy fan?
Well anyone could tell you the best fans in the country are the New York Giants fans! The Giants have Eli Manning!
Actually I am not a huge football fan, but as a loyal New York City area lady, the Giants are my team. The Giants play the Cowboys on Sunday. We shall see who wins.

I had a similar problem that responded to adding a multi vitamen and OTC biotin to my diet.  I also started using a hair loss shampoo called Nisim. Also I cut my hair a bit shorter that I had worn it and avoided pulling on it like with blow drying excessively.

I read that you thought the culprit might have been the testosterone, but if you do need to take the hormone replacement, without testosterone, the correct levels won't be reached. Perhaps there was too much of a high dosage of testosterone? I just want to warn you that when you get to the menopause stage, even with no womb, you get hit by the most dreadful, unbearable sweats, day and night.

It happened to me, even though I had a hysterectomy at 28 years old. I thought it would be easy on me, but I suffered for years, not wanting the HRT which put weight on me. I found Estrogens in the form of Estrodial, (used by doctors more in the past) I did not gain weight, and my symptoms have diminished greatly.

I really sympathise with you about the thinning of your hair. As you become older you will lose some volume and having hair as long as yours, will make it noticeable on the ends. Also, although there is no actual proof I know about, it has been reported that the extra weight can cause more hair than normal to fall out. You have noticed the loss at the front more, at the moment, but that might spread over the top areas.

If you have had all the medical tests that 'Cinderella' has suggested, you may need to find out why this is happening to you. The hair clinic's are very good, and do microscopic tests on the scalp. You should be able to find out why your hair is thinning so, and start treatments. They use proven methods, and are very helpful. But, I can suggest you use rosemary oil, and lavender oil bonded with almond oil.
It's possible the hair on top has gone into a long resting phase. The oil  treatment above, using fingertips to dab onto your scalp, will prevent excess hair loss, and has been proved to re-grow hair, even on balding parts. You may want to try this before spending money on dermatologists or hair clinics.

As for Toppick to hide the thinning areas, that's good, especially when used in conjunction with Couvre, which hides the scalp from showing through. You can still use these cover ups along with the oils. Just don't use too much that it becomes greasy.

I wish you good luck!
