Going Bald at 19 - Hair Problems Message Board

2 1/2 months ago I noticed that a lot of my hair was falling out in the shower and the sink. I started to look closer at my hair to see if it was falling out, and I realized it was. I then marked how much hair I had and the receeding line. Now 2 1/2 months later more hair has fallen out and my hair is still receeding. I am very depressed and embaressed. I do not know what to do! I have not got a hair cut in 2 months because I know when I do, people will notice my forehead has gotten bigger. I AM ONLY 19 YEARS OLD! And could I have tyhroid problems?

I made a dermatologist appointment and I am waiting to go there. Also, in the last 3 month I have had very bad drandruff, with large flakes. Please send advice.

First, make sure you are getting enough iron and B12 and zinc.

Try a shampoo with no chemicals in it like Aubrey Organics sensitive scalp shampoo. Get some apple cider vinegar, the unpasteurized type, and put a few tablespoons of it in a litre of water. Rinse your hair with it after you shampoo. Selenium supplements help with dandruff. Silacea Gel helps hair loss. It is a colloidal silica supplement (tissue salts) you put in juice every morning.

Best wishes.

I'm 21 going on 22 and my scalp has been very itchy as of late and I've noticed I'm getting a lot of dandruff and flakes. My hair has also been falling out of my head more than usual as well. I use a natural shampoo and take the right vitamins.

Baldness does not really run in the family both my grandfathers have nearly a full head of hair at 70 but there are a few people on my mums side that have gone bald and that's what is concerning me.

I've always had really fine hair, but as of late I'm getting worried. Though I am depressed at the moment (taking no meds) so maybe that might have something to do with it.

Do you get enough sleep, eat right and are you depressed/stressed at all?

I started taking wheat grass juice capsules (Health Matters sun grown) 5 days ago because I've seen web testimonials that it stopped hairloss in some people and even made the grays go away after a few months. My scalp is less itchy and all the guck is gone from it. About 1/3 less is falling out when I shampoo, so it seems like something good to keep taking long term and monitor.
