Hair Loss & Replacement Blog

I got a boob job 2 months ago. ive always had thick looong dark hair. im only 30.
my hair was mid back in length. 2 weeks ago i saw a bald spot. now i have like 7 large bald patches. my hair has fallen off rapidly and in clumps. went to thyroid dr and regular dr. both did separate blood work. all hormone levels are normal. there is no reason for this. and its not stress. i just had a boob job. i was on cloud 9. i had to cut 5 inches off to take the weight off my hair and try to save as much as i can but i don’t know what else to do. i have new growth coming back but it is growing slower then its fallen. has anyone had any similar reactions after a boob job? and i think i may have gotten knocked up last week so im not sure what meds to take.
i dont remember reading massive hair loss as a side effect.. this was silicone gummybear implants. i cant think of anything else that would cause rapid hair loss other then that at this point.. any suggestions, comments or ideas?

Okay in July I colored my hair blond did it myself. And it looked horrible! I went into a salon and had a color correction done. Ever since then my hair has been breaking off. Not HUGE clumps. You can’t look at my head of hair and notice any bald spots or anything. I went to the beauty salon about 2 weeks ago now and got about 2inches cut off the length and got tons of layers in my hair. The Stylist said my hair wasn’t damaged. (I was going to chop it off to my chin) She said keeping my hair up in a tight ponytail (which I do) is probably the problem. Which I know isn’t 100% true in my situation b/c my hair has only started breaking off this bad since my color incident. I bought some Pantene Restoration (i think is the name) shampoo/conditioner and hair mask. And gave myself a couple deep condition treatments. My hair still breaks off maybe not as much. Okay…I noticed today that my hair is just still coming out a lot!!! Not from the root or anything. I hot rolled my hair 2 days ago and all day yesterday had my hair up on my head in like a ball just to keep it out of my way. I think using all the hair spray and keeping it in a wad on my head caused the extra breakage..I know stupid on my behalf.What should I do?? Should I cut it all off to about my chin?? Is there anyway to keep my long locs and restore the health to my hair????
Any advice would be beneficial.

Btw…my hair length hits the bottom of my bra strap. And I have short to med. layers throughout hair
One more question. Has anyone had their hair over processed like mine and their hair break off this much? Like I said it’s not clumps of hair..but enough to drive me crazy! Thanks!!!

I am a 24 year old male.

No one in my family lost their hair. NO ONE! I have uncles in their 70’s with full heads of hair. Its white, but still there. Dad, brothers, and uncles all have their hair. And I mean all of it. Same goes for cousins. The women have their hair also. About 3 months ago I lost the corner of my hair line. Not the temple, but the corner. Its right where the hairline meets the temple. It just came out over a period of about 2 weeks. There is a gap there about the width of my thumbnail. It goes straight back about 1/2 an inch. Now the same has happened on the other side only its a bit bigger. Now I’m noticing thinness on the top of my head. The stylist thought I was a bit paranoid, but when my hair is wet I can see plenty of scalp in pictures I’ve taken of my crown. Pictures show hair growing out of the scalp but it clumps together to look like a gap. Its wet when I do this so maybe I am just paranoid. The hair loss at the corners of my hairline is real though. She noticed it too. About 3-4 months prior to the hair loss I underwent serious stress. Landlords tried to evict me (it got nasty and I had to get a lawyer). I bombed a very important standardized test (So important the results have completely altered my life plans) and a relative died. All of this occurred over a 3 week period of time. When I’m stressed I put my hand in my hair and pull at the hair line. Not really hard but I’ll rest my head on my hand and forcefully pull my hand through my hair a couple times. On occasion I’ll pull at my crown. I figured my genes would protect me from doing any damage plus it wasn’t so hard that it hurt. Could the stress itself, the fussing with my hair, and a bad college diet mimic a receding hairline. I’m going to a dermatologist but I fear the worst (Male Pattern Baldness).

I read about a maturing hairline on baldingblog.com , but I don’t know. No one in my family has that. I’m freaking out right now. I don’t want to lose my hair. Have I just got some mutant gene? I always had incredibly thick hair. I mentioned that I had a bad diet. I would sometimes eat only once a day. About 3-4 days a week. Usually pizza or something. Other days I would have an apple and some salami for lunch and maybe a steak or chicken fingers for dinner. No sides with dinner though. Would continuing this diet for two semesters be this harmful? I barely ate at all Freshman year (just graduated this semester) and nothing bad happened. I don’t have an eating disorder just a budget disorder. Oh. I also take copious antacids. I have ulcers. I read they can reduce your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.

My doctor is very busy and I have to wait almost a month. Is there anything I should bring up to her in particular? Any advice on what I just wrote would be very very helpful. No provillus pitches please. I get it. It’s a helpful in treating hair loss. Now that you know I know you don’t have to tell me again.

My hair has been falling out for the past month in clumps. i can pull out a ton everyday. I have an eating disorder but am not ready to recover, but this is really starting to embarras me!!

I heard fish oil helps but I don’t know, any advice would be appreciated, thanks!!

My hair falls out in the shower. How much is normal though as my hair comes out in clumps
by the way i am not a bloke

I haven’t had a period for about 6 months now, and before that my last period was 4 months. I have also experienced hair loss, when i run my hands through my hair clumps of hair comes out, and my hair is all over my clothes. I was wondering if there was a link between the two, and if it’s anything to worry about?

I am a 24 year old female and I think I am starting to loss my hair. Every time I wash my hair then style it I brunch out or pull clumps of hair in my hand. This is starting to upset me because it happens ever time and I loss hair during the day. I am not very stressed out so I don’t know why it is happening. What I want are some tips for early hair loss. What are some things that I could add to my diet? What might I be lacking in my diet? Or is there something else I need to do? Should I go to the doctor about this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The general doctor I saw a while back said it was no big deal. I can pick up all my hair into a ponytail with a tiny little clip and I’m 25. That’s a big deal! Even my hairstyling said my line is thinning too much.
It falls in clumps especially after showering and during the day i shed everywhere. I already use nutri-ox and have upped my calcium intake. What the heck should i do???
