Hi, I have caused extensive damage to my hair through the use of a hot straightening iron. I am a 31 year old male who had minimal recession at the front and thick hair all over. My hair is now damaged and thinned all over from the hot iron and has recessed at the front dramatically in 6 months due to the damage. I have regrowth coming through but not really at the front from the damage. Is it wise to start propecia at this point I’ve stayed off using it waiting to see where the hair may grow back but after 6 months have not seen much at the front.
Thanks
You need a diagnosis as to the degree that genetic balding may be present. I would want to know where the damage is — is it limited to a particular area? There are many things that an examination of your scalp would show me, so rather than shoot from the hip, I would suggest that you go to a hair expert or dermatologist to work through the problem with you. It sounds bad, too serious to be treated over the internet.

I have a problem with my hair. I’ve been using my straightener a lot lately and i don’t know if it is the problem or not. I’m fifteen years old, and i used to have long thick blonde hair. But i died it a dark brown, which i guess could also have something to do with it. But a couple months ago, my parents and myself began to realize that my hair was quickly getting a lot thinner. So now at the top towards the back, it is getting to be almost nothing. And it’s scary. Anyone think they can help me out?
