» There is regrowth, but it is terribly thin and lots of it ends up falling
» out. also, i have just began noticing that the ends of many of my hairs
» are beginning to become colourless and thin.
» is this just the affect of my horomones trying to balance out.. or am i
» doomed with the dreaded AGA due to birth control... ?
» im freaking out i dont know what to think anymore....any answers, or
» related experiences would be appreciated.
Bas - without analysing the hair itself (whether it's new growth starting out crappy but then becoming stronger, or if it's miniturisation), i dont think it's wise for any of us to comment. I would get to a Dermatologist/Endocrinologist or Trichologist and have a proper assessment.
There is a period of TE when coming off any birth control pill - sometimes it stops and things improve again and sometimes it doesnt. I believe if it doesnt (as it did for me) then it's just revealing ones genetic predisposition to AGA. BUT it's important to have a proper hair analysis done. Otherwise you might be scaring yourself and getting worried!
