See your doctor: Thinning hair can be normal, or the sign of other illnesses. See your doctor to get proper evaluation & testing if necessary. Your thyroid, pituitary & adrenal glands need to be checked. Most often it's seborrhea or normal. Straightening or ironing your hair can also thin it out. See your doctor.
