For the past year or so, I have been noticing my hair getting thin... My hair has ALWAYS been SO thick. I couldn't wrap hair elastics bands more than twice around my hair. But then I noticed my hair starting to get thinner.. and thinner.. I never really noticed myself LOSING hair just getting noticeably thinner.. So I went to my hair dresser and she said it probably either had something to do with like blockage or something to my hair follicles (not sure exactly) or that It was my medicine that I take. she gave me this shampoo & conditioner called Nioxin ( WHICH BY THE WAY SMELLS DELIGHTFUL Had my hair smelling like mint for so long ) and It totally worked! So I knew it was because of what she said about the follicles or whatever.. So once my hair got thick enough I stopped using it because it was REALLY expensive like $50 and so now, My hair is falling out, and this time I notice it. A LOT. I notice I'm losing a lot in the shower, when I brush my hair, etc., but it feels fine. I do have the tendency to brush through my hair with my hands a lotbecause my hair typically gets kinda knotty because of my type of natural curl. (Beach Waves) so is it that? is it me just being self conscious since I can't really feel the hair loss but notice it? Could it just be my medicine playing a side effect?? It is literally driving me crazy. I don't know! I don't feel any loss, but it seems like I'm shedding like a dog! What should I do??
