I think moving to AZ may have something to do with the loss. At least, that is what I've been told is a possibility. I went to a dermatologist when this first started and she told me that the change in climate could be a cause. Was told to condition and keep hair moisturized. I've done all of that and no help! I do have noticeable patches of very short hair, but my scalp is not showing yet. The 'longer' hair is thinning very badly. Since wearing wigs, I keep my hair braided. The braids use to be think now they are VERY thin. I cant imagine I'll have enough hair to braid for much longer. I use The Mane Choice hair products and also Camille Rose. I deep condition once a week. There are no chemicals in my hair. Not sure what else to do.
