A member asked:

My 18 year old daughter has had thinning of her hair for the past few years, our area has hard water, does this have to do with it, and what else.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Your daughter needs a medical evaluation and a dermatologic opinion. Hard water is a very unlikely cause.
