hi everyone and thank you for reading here is my story.
i have been having hair loss since i was 15 (i am now 17 and a girl) my hair type is 3b and my hair used to be so long and thick and has recently put me into depression because even my doctors cant seem to help (i am from england by the way)
the hair loss was sudden, not gradual. at first i thought it was just normal shedding. but everyday for past 2 years i have been loosing a substantial amount of hair (a hair ball equvilent) i now have almost no hair left on my head, i would say i have lost 70% of my hair.
at first my doctors said could be folic acide issue (based on blood tests) back in 2020 march when i was 15. took folic acid everyday and changed my diet, 7 months later no change, stopped tablets but my diet stays good. i have always used oil on my hair (cocnut oil). i then switched to a mixture of rosemary oil, castor and olive oil. for past year i have put this on my hair relgiously every night but no diffrence.
if i do not put some sort of treatment on my scalp before i go to sleep i will wake up with a very sore scalp (sometimes unbearable to run my fingers through) and hair loss will be much worse). my hair loss started just mid so centre of my head, spread to the back near my neck and ears and now is effecting my front.
now i use minoxidl everyday and i use garlic and rosemary oil on my hair every other night. for 2 months been using these. i can tell some short hair is growing in some areas but hair loss is still extremely bad and is the same.
took more blood tests around 2021 november, came back i have a iron defeincy, got told it wasnt drastic. since taking iron since last november my energy and how i feel is better but my hair is the same. i also take vitamin C and cod liver pills
if anyone can please, please help me. im turning 18 soon and i really want my hair back to normal and be happy like i was before this
thank you
