Hi,I'm a 19 yr.old male and I've been trying to grow my hair long for yrs.now but it never works for me becuase I have a natural wave in it.I have a part in the middle and my hair comes down right now it's about to my eyes and I've been trying to gorw it long from that for a few yrs.now but everytime it gets to bout my ears the wave kinda flips and curls it up,so one day about 5 mts.ago I got fed up and got a heat activated hair straightning iron and the first time I used it it got my hair perfectly straight and I guess you can say I got addicted to it,I used it everyday for about 2 to 3 weeks sometimes twice a day maybe more.Well ever since then my hair has been breaking at the tips and it seems like it had thinned alot,I'd say it's thinned probably 10-maybe 20% of what it was at this time last year.Well to say I'm a little worried about this would be a gross understatement.I've become totally obsessed with this probelm the past few mts. and it is driving me nuts I've got so paranoid that I'm losing my hair like every few min. I touch my head to see if pieces fall out in my hand and usually alomst everytime I do this at least 1 piece comes out.Everytime I notice some hair falling out I get so woried Ive never noticed this probelm before until now.Yesterday I was combing my hair and about 9 pieces fell out and I almost threw up.Ive never really noticed this problem before and Ive totally convinced myself Im going bald noone else thinks so..but Im so worried that those pieces that are falling out wont ever come back in.I have no history of baldness in my family and I dont wear hats so all i can think is Ive ruined my hair and even thoguth Ive been taking better care of it the past 5 mts then I have my whole life I think Im losing it.I went to the doctor yesterday and he had tests on my thyroid and everythin came back fine so its not that all I can think is im losing my hair :-(Before i pulled this stupid stunt with teh straightner I had pretty thick and full hair and never noticed it falling out have I totally screwed myself for the rest of my life?Any help of advice is greatly appreciated!Thanks for reading!
