Okay so I am an 18 year old male and i think i am experiencing hair loss. A little less than a year ago i stupidly bought an at home relaxer because I was so tired of my curly hair. After the application i noticed within two months that my bangs seemed to have split ends, take longer to grow, and were much thinner. At the time i assumed that the straighter style was making my hair look thinner, so i buzzed my head and allowed my hair to grow back. Since then i feel as if my hair takes much longer to grow, and it appears as if i am experiencing a receding hairline. My dad started balding at 17 and male pattern baldness runs in my family. I guess my question is whether or not that one chemical treatment could be the sole cause of my hair loss, and whether or not the loss will continue without any treatment- or whether the chemical treatment could have ignited male pattern baldness and started my hairline’s receding. I would ultimately like to know if i should consider looking at treatments for chemical hair loss since i am too young to do anything about male pattern baldness. If my hair will repair itself on its own that would be great- i wouldnt have to own up to the mistake i made.
