I bleached my hair a few months ago and now my hair is constantly falling out. I used to have quite thick hair and now I've probably lost about 2/3 of my hair. I'm quite worried that my hair will keep falling out and that I'll be left with basically no hair. I'm only 21 right now and already losing so much hair...Could it also be due to my shampoo? What action should I take to stop my hair from falling out and what can I do to restore it back to my original hair quality? Not sure if this is due to stress?

There are a series of ways of making the diagnosis of scarring alopecia. The first is to look for vellus hair is at the hairline and if they’re not present that means that there is a possibility of an autoimmune disease. Second is to see if dermatologist and get a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis
In my opinion, finasteride is the single best agent to prevent future hair loss and possibly obtain regrowth in a 19 year old with androgenic alopecia. It blocks conversion to DHT. We have also found the addition of PRP to be a helpful addition. Find a hair loss expert. Ask to see photos.
