Only in crown the hair is too visible . My mother has thick hair and my dad start balding in his late 40s what could be the resson
Thank you for sharing your experience. First, let me assure you that you’re not alone in this-it sounds like you’ve been through a lot, and I understand how worrying this can feel. Let’s break this down so we can figure out possible causes and next steps for you. 1. Past Treatments and Breakage: The smoothening and keratin treatments you had may have caused structural damage to your hair, leading to breakage and thinning. Over time, as new growth replaces the damaged hair, you might see improvement, provided you avoid further damaging treatments. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies and Gut Issues: Nutritional deficiencies and gut health can have a significant impact on your hair. Low levels of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, biotin, and Vitamin D, combined with poor gut absorption, can contribute to thinning. I’d recommend working with a healthcare provider to address these issues through supplements and dietary changes. I personally had to take iron infusions for anemia because my body wouldn’t absorb pills as effectively! 3. Stress and Insulin Resistance: Chronic stress and hormonal imbalances (like those caused by insulin resistance) can trigger hair loss, especially in areas like the crown. Stress management techniques, such as mindfulness or gentle exercise, can help. Also, discuss strategies for managing insulin resistance with your doctor, as this is key to improving both your hair and overall health. 4. Genetic Factors: From what you’ve described, it doesn’t necessarily sound like genetic hair loss-especially since your mother has thick hair and your father began balding later in life. However, genetic hair thinning (androgenic alopecia) can present differently in women, so it’s worth consulting a dermatologist to rule this out. If it is genetic, there are still treatments like minoxidil that may help. 5. Visible Crown Thinning: Since the crown area is more visible, it’s important to protect and stimulate that area. Gentle scalp massages, using products that promote scalp health (like a clay detox or clarifying shampoo - i have listed them in my product guide you can download that right away), and avoiding tight hairstyles can all help. Focus on nurturing your hair and scalp while addressing internal issues like nutrition and stress. I encourage you to seek professional advice from a trichologist or dermatologist who can examine your scalp and hair thoroughly. With a multi-faceted approach-healing from the inside out and taking care of your hair externally-you can start seeing progress over time. Sending you strength and wishing you the best on your hair journey. You’re not alone in this!
I noticed a lot of thinning at the sides of my head due to traction alopecia. I was doing high ponytails almost the whole time I would tie my hair up. What helped was using large claw clips instead for making buns and scrunchies for loose and low ponytails. I think Indian women love to use those tiny clutchers to put their hair up in a half up and half down way. they should use bigger clips instead.
@@HonestLiz yes it did. Some people don't like using scrunchies and that's ok but then they should go for bigger claw clips because that doesn't pull the hair. The smaller the claw the more likely it'll pull your hair. Especially with longer hair you want to use bigger claws.
you’re right, different people have different preferences - i personally don’t find the big claw clips helpful, they pull on my scalp and my scalp is sensitive that way, especially with my heavy hair 😅
Hey Liz - any recommendations for clips similar to the bounce curl root ones that can be bought in India?

thats so true! Bigger or smaller clips, the hairstyles just should not be hurtful to the scalp is what
did it get better for you once you changed your tight-hairstyle habits?
