It's a young business
Hair loss at a young age is quite common. And here we share the problem between girls and boys. In the former, this is often associated with poor nutrition and a lack of various substances, resulting in the development of iron deficiency anemia, lack of protein, and microelements. Also, their hair loss may be associated with the period of formation of hormonal levels, when it is not yet stable or for some reason has not been established.
In young people aged 18-20 years, hair loss can be the beginning of androgenetic alopecia: hair loss occurs due to high levels of male hormones, which are maximal at this age.
Of course, both young people and girls may have other reasons that do not depend on age, related, for example, to stress or past infectious diseases.

Diagnostics
At the first consultation, the trichologist collects a thorough medical history. He must question the patient in detail, including about lifestyle and concomitant diseases, and he, in turn, must answer him fully and reliably. On this basis, the specialist makes a conclusion whether blood tests, ultrasound, or consultations with other specialists are needed. The consultation also includes a mandatory trichoscopy: the doctor examines the scalp using a trichoscope - a device that makes it possible to assess hair density, thickness, condition of the scalp and sebaceous glands. Having received all the necessary information, he builds a therapy program.
Combined type
Such hair looks oily at the roots, but has very dry ends, becomes electrified, and lacks natural shine.
Undoubtedly, external factors can trigger problems. But the cause of fat content can also be:

If you notice that your strands have an oily sheen the very next day after washing, and the ends are damaged and difficult to comb, contact a trichologist at the HFE clinic, who will correctly determine the causes and give advice on treatment.
