too tightly can be left with some loss of hair. Teenage girls who have an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia lose their hair as well. They eat badly and so stop their body from getting enough protein, vitamins and minerals to support hair growth. Especially in your teens you are in need of enough nutrients to let your body grow, including your hair. Other events such as having a baby, having surgery or getting anaesthesia can temporarily stop the hair growth cycle. Although not all of these are applicable to teenagers. A condition known as
Tinea Captis or scalp ringworm is also a reason why adolescents can experience hair loss. It’s a fungus that can cause hair to be lost in patches, to be broken and the scalp to be affected. It is contagious. Upon discovery be sure to treat it with an anti-fungal shampoo immediately. Teenage boys can experience
male pattern baldness as early as 14. Cover-up concealers are the best way to go since Procepia and hair transplantation aren’t advised at this age.
Tips
Eating healthy and well-balanced meals every day is important if you want to avoid hair loss. Certainly at this early stage in life. Another tip is to style your hair when it is dry or damp. Doing so when it’s wet will cause it to break. Treat your hair well, it’s supposed to last for quite some time.
