x_shadow_x2002 asked: My hair on the top of my head, in front, and especially around the scalp have been thinning dramatically in the past few years. I’ve been growing my hair as long as I could in the past few years, trying to attain nice long hair, and it’s all past my shoulders at this point. EXCEPT for the top of my head which doesn’t seem like it has budged in length, and only gotten shorter. This constitutes to a very awkward and terrible looking balance of hair that kills my hopes of having long hair, or at the very least HAIR.
I’ve been noticing that the hair thinning starts right around where I would normally wear a headset. I should mention at this point I am an avid gamer and computer user, spending many hours a day playing games/working on the computer. I’m always wearing a headset as well, which as I mentioned the hair thinning starts right around there (or ends, you could say). Behind the headset however, the hair is very long and thick.
I panicked the other day when I began seeing my scalp in the mirror, and decided to do some research on connections between excessive headset usage and hair loss, and found an article that states that frequent use of headsets will cause Traction Alopecia.
I’ve only been using a headset for a few years, which before I really began wearing a headset all of the time my hair seemed fine. It’s been a downward spiral since and I’m slowly piecing it that it’s most likely the excessive usage of headsets that could be causing it, after shrugging it off as an unfortunate circumstance of genes.
So, the actual question to be asked is, is it too late for my hair to recover? (I will obviously stop using headsets, or at least a lot less than I do now). Are there any treatments that can be done that don’t involve expensive surgeries or drugs with nasty side effects?
