Hair.
I'm 14/f. I have medium/shortish wavy hair. It's at my shoulders, a tiny bit longer. I hate my hair. It's thin, no doubt about it. After a day or two it gets greasy and I have to wash it. When I was smaller, I could easily grow out my hair and it was long and thick. After 4th grade, everything changed. My hair was just... visibly thinner. I don't think I did anything wrong. In middle school around 6th ad 7th grader I would straighten my hair once a week or once every few weeks. Now, in 9th grade, I don't think I've straightened my hair since the beginning of 8th grade. Only my bangs, which I haven't since September. I'm seeing a specialist who is currently trying to figure out why my hair is so thin. I've tried Nioxin, Rogaine, homemade methods..but nothing. Nothing has improved it at all. And not only that, my hair takes incredibly long to grow. After 4 or 5 months, my hair grew an inch. The specialist cannot find a single thing. It doesn't run in my family. Nothing is wrong with my hormones. I'm healthy--I don't even get pimples. I have a pretty good body, I have some stomach and love handles but it's nothing anyone notices and everyone tells me I have such a great body. I eat healthy, fast food hasn't entered my mouth since I was maybe 6. I get my hair trimmed once a month but nothing is working. I'll admit it, it bothers me so much. I've always, ALWAYS wanted long, thick hair. I don't care if it's out of control and wavy, I absolutely love that kind of hair. I don't straighten my hair because it's just flat and short. My hair bothers me so much. I hate it. I would go bald and regrow it all if I could but that's way too risky. I don't know what to do anymore. The doctors cannot find anything wrong with me. My last appointment was in December and I'm scheduled again for March but nothing has changed, I'm using Rogaine but that's not the right thing for me because I didn't lose my hair, it just kind of got thinner. I want to have long thick hair, I'm tired of not being able to just let it down because it's so light and thin. I've desired thick and long hair for so many years now and I don't want to be fake and get extensions or a hair transplant. It makes me so sad to look at my small thin hair in the mirror. I don't know what to do.

Have you been tested for Alopecia? I grew up with a girl that had Alopecia Areata. I believe there is multiple forms of Alopecia. It causes loss and thinning of hair on your head, and sometimes your body. Certain deficiancies can cause thinning of the hair, especially iron, so make sure you are taking vitamins everyday. Recommend some things to your specialist. They are missing something, your can't be thinning at that age for no reason.
