well i had good hair until i went on vacation to the middle east and it was very humid and i sweated alot but i have no clue why but i didnt wash my hair often. i had washed my hair a total of 4 times in a 23 day period. now that im back in the us , when i wash my hair in the shower, alot of it comes off , and it thinned a bit. i naturally have thin hair , and im very very scared . when i come out of the shower and my hair is wet, i can clearly see my scalp .

ive been going to my hair stylist for about 2 yrs, shes one of the best in the business and been doing it for almost 30 yrs , so should i go back to her and ask her for some advice and see if i should trim my hair and grow it back all again?

any advice? this is a bad pic of my hair as its not styled at all and just out there, but its a pic.

sometimes when you neglect to wash your hair often

it will seem alot of hair comes out when you do
because the hair oils in such are keeping it suspended in the other remaining hair

i wouldnt worry too much about it
the same thing happens to me

i would look to see if the shed hairs have a tapered end
if the end of the hair is blunt, it means the hair has been cut and their is no way of knowing how long the follicle has lived

if the hair has a tapered end
it means that the growing cycle is shrinking
usually resulting in miniaturization
and eventually loss of the follicle

your hair looks pretty good in your pic
but you know your hair better than anyone else

my hair is just a straight hair when it comes off , what do you mean tapered end? im still blessed with long hair and my hairline isnt receding or anything

and currently im just taking biotin, is there anything else i should add?

next time you notice a shed hair

look at it

if the end opposite of the bulb is tapered "meaning comes to a thin point"
as oppose to being like flat blunt end

if the shed hair comes to a thin point it means the hair has never been cut
knowing the hair has never been cut and has already fallen out
means that the hair growing cycle is shrinking
usually that is the start of the miniaturization process

understand?

From that picture I can't tell if you're thinning. But then again I cann't tell if you're a man or a woman either...
