Hi I am 17 years old. I’m going to be 18 in 2 months. I used to have very thick, long, black and beautiful hair. Over time it started thinning. I dont know why. Is it that Im not eating enough vitamins? Or that I dyed my hair? I’ve dyed it about 5 times my whole life. I also blow dry and straighten my hair. Is that bad for my hair? I really want my long thick hair back. Will it grow back? What can I do? Is there anything I can take to make it grow faster?

You need a proper examination of the scalp looking for miniaturization. First you must rule out that you are not early in the female genetic hair loss course. Then, if positive, you need to have your overall health checked out, looking for a variety of hormonal issues and diseases that can cause hair loss. If you do not have miniaturization or other causes of hair loss and hair thinning, then you may be having changes into a new adult hair type. Some people as they mature from teens to adults, will change their hair character. Sounds like you need a good doctor to point you in the correct direction.
