HELP MY HAIR PLEASE
i'm male,19,and have been quite healthy so far,lately though i have a problem
My hair seems to be thinning,and like dropping out,and I don't know why
what happened:basically,i was picked for this 3 month national army camp and they shaved my head,no problem right?right
then after the camp,i still didin't like my look with the shaved head and all so i decided to wear a cap,everytime to college,no problem?maybe not
i also wanted my hair to grow fast so i washed my hair with shampoo like 2 or 3 times a day,and used hair tonic,no problem?maybe not
all those 3 incidents,which i mentioned,mainly because these 3 were new ...schedule runs i picked up,in all my 17 years,i never ever shaved my head bald,except i had to for the camp,and i never washed my hair that much and never wore a cap everyday to college/school.
after that the thinning begins,now all those events happened last year,yup,2006,now is 2007,i still have quite a lot of hair,it's just thinner than my usual hair mass or whatever and i want to do something before it gets bad.i already have like 5 or 6 comments from my friends that my hair seems to be thinning so yeah...
besides that ,i pierced my lips,don't know if that would effect
so do you guys have any suggestions as to what do i do,use,when to use,how to use?please please please,really need your help, i read that the balding process only starts when you are 30 or 40,and i'm only a teen,i also read that thinning during teenhood is because of some lack of nutrition and is only temporary,what could be wrong?
thanks a lot

washing your hair so much is the problem! most people (unless your hair is oily) should NOT wash their hair once a day, let alone twice or three times. washing your hair gets rid of the natural oils that protect your hair, and all that tugging and extra product can't do any good.
wearing a cap might be a slight issue as well. letting your hair breathe would help.
so basically, lay off the extra work and see what happens.

It's possible that you're simply not used to the look & feel of your hair growing back. How long is it now? If it's still peachfuzz-y, give it some time. Washing your hair too much makes it fall out so don't do that more than once a day, once every other day if you can get away with that.
Since it's been over a year & other people are noticing, I suggest seeing a doctor if at all possible. A vitamin defiency could be causing all this, in which case they can help you fix it. Also, you could be stressing out a lot & have alopecia areata. I'm not a doctor & can't diagnose you, but hair loss among young people is often caused by that disorder, which is treatable.

So your best bet is to see a doctor, who can rule out other possible health problems. Good luck.
