I have fair blonde hair that's runs on my father's side. I also have a really embarrassing hairline that makes me look bald and have a very square forehead. As you can imagine, the hair on my hairline is thin, short and almost transparent. Being a teenager it can be real downer seeing girls with thick full hairlines. Are there treatment options not only for my hairline, but for thicker hair all over? Is there forehead reduction and will most insurances cover it? Or are there natural remedies?

Answer: There is no medical or surgical treatments for "naturally" thin hair. It is who you are.

Moving to a new location does not cause hair loss unless you moved to Chernobyl or Fukushima. Even that would be stretching it. If you have concerns about hair loss, make an appointment with a doctor for a comphrehenisve examination.
