Hair thinning and red spots
by Ressan, Jul 20, 2008 03:57AM
Hi, I'm only 19 and for the past couple of months I have realized red spots on my scalp and hair thinning. I have thick strong hair and no history of early age hair loss in my family. However I did 2 perms and one hair dye and I straightened my hair at least twice a week and I did rough shampooing. During that time my hair used to fall out allot but just recently it stopped because I've been trying to take care of my hair. What can I do to stop the red spots and will my hair volume increase as it used to be ?? thanks.

Red spots on the scalp may suggest that there may be an underlying scalp condition which affects hair growth. At this point, you may need to cease straightening or applying hair dyes on your hair. This appears to have been contributory to your case. Hair volume should revert back to normal given ample time that you cease all these hair styling. The scalp redness may be an irritation caused by the hair dye or from the heat and chemical used during the hair straightening. I suggest that you use only a mild hypoallergenic shampoo over the affected areas. Refrain from shampooing vigorously.
