Hi Doc, I’ve been shedding hair everyday for the past year or 2, usually within 50 a day. I went to 2 physicians and they told me that my hair is fine and im not losing hair and they even did the test by pulling my hair. But I do see that my hair is thinner than before. I really dont know what’s causing my hair thinning. Is it because I wash my hair 2 times a day everyday, and I use blowdryer and hairspray to style my hair everyday? Also I want to ask you if I use blowdryer and hairspray to style my hair everyday, will it cause brain cancer? What should I do to stop shedding? Do I really have to use Rogaine to grow thicker hair? Please give me some advise this time, because last time you didnt answer my post. Thank you!
If you are male, the most common cause of balding is genetic hair loss. This is also known as androgenic alopecia (AGA) or male pattern balding (MPB).
Hair dryers do not cause brain cancer — otherwise I would expect to see a brain cancer epidemic. If you blow your hair too hot, you could potentially damage the hair, but I suspect you would stop yourself before you start to burn your hair and skin.
If you are concerned about hair loss, I would consider seeing a doctor who can diagnose the cause of your hair loss. There are medical and surgical options.

i have been cutting hair for many years and i have found the most common reason for thinning hair is age.at around 21, many clients hairlines receed, giving way to their adult hairline. i usually congradulate them on reaching manhood.
I am the founder of MyHairDryerForCancer.Org We are establishing a charity that raises money for cancer research. We get hair dryers signed by celebrities with all proceeds going to charity. I haven’t ran AT ALL since 2005. On Tuesday I decided I was going to run a couple of miles in the marathon dressed as a giant hair dryer to raise publicity for the cause. Yesterday (Marathon Monday) I ran THE Boston marathon. ALL THE WAY to the finish line. NO training, NO planning, wearing a 12 pound hair dryer costume!! MyHairDryerForCancer.Com
