I'm 26 yrs old and have been loosing hair for the last year. I used to have thick curly hair that I could barely twist a rubberband around twice around my ponytail. Now I can easily twist a rubberband around 3TIMES! I went to my doctor about 6 months of losing my hair and she examined my scalp and said it was healthy and that my blood tests came back normal. Because I had so much hair to begin with most people don't notice that I've lost a lot of hair. My doctor told me it was normal to lose hair and I shouldn't worry about it. 6 months later I am still losing a lot of hair and next week when I have another dr.'s apt. I am demanding her to refer me to a dermatologist. I have been using Nioxin for the last 4 months and I have notice a decrease in my hair loss, but it's still a lot of hair falling out. Sometimes I'll have a few hairs fall out in the shower, but most of the time I have a considerable amount of hair fall out. I also notice when my hair is wet you can very easily see my scalp, especially on the back of my head and on top. I work full-time and go to school full-time and have been under a great amount of stress the last 2 years, could this be a reason for my hair loss? I have 2 more years of school and I'm afraid if stress is the culprit I will be bald by the time I graduate from college. Does anyone have any advice or questions I should ask my dermatologist? Thanks!
