At your age the hair loss might be due to stress, or some other underlying condition. I highly recommend visiting your doctor to have your scalp and overall health examined. Don’t be embarrassed to talk to your parents or guardians about your hair loss. It is very important that you address this problem now. It could be something simple, such as a small dietary change that is required that may not only improve your hair but also your overall health.

Hair loss in young teenagers (often referred to as alopecia) is often thought to be caused by stress. You doctor might decide that this is the cause of your hair loss. If so you should work on reducing your stress levels. The best way to start is to talk to a parent or guardian about how you feel and whether anything is troubling you. Then you can work on resolving problems together. If you don’t feel you can talk to a parent or guardian, perhaps there is a teacher at school you could talk to?

If your doctor cannot give you a reason for your hair loss I recommend trying another doctor or a specialist dermatologist. Don’t stop until you have found the root of the problem and a suitable treatment.

The instructions in my eBook work for both women and men, although some of the instructions are particularly tailored toward men because of hormonal differences between men and women. The eBook explains how to firstly get your scalp and body back into the condition they were in before the hair loss began — by eliminating all the causes of hair loss. Then we use some powerful techniques to intensely feed the hair and reactivate dormant hair follicles.

However you will find some of the advice in my eBook difficult and perhaps even impossible to follow if you are unable to wash your scalp. In the eBook I recommend applying a special custom made formula to the scalp, which feeds the hair. This will not be practical if you cannot wash your scalp in the morning.

The itching you describe could be due to a skin condition such as eczema, which is a very common skin condition, or it could be due to something such as demodex mites, which is less common. It’s difficult to treat these conditions without being able to apply topical treatments to the effected areas and washing the scalp daily. For example shampoo containing zinc can be used to treat dandruff and itchy scalps. And other treatments can be used to remove demodex mites, but they rely on you being able to properly wash your scalp thoroughly after each treatment.

My best advice would be for you to visit a local dermatologist and have your scalp examined under a microscope. However any dermatologist is likely to advise you to wash and treat your scalp. If you’re not happy to do this you’re only other options are to use diet to help feed your hair by increasing your consumption of food for hair growth. You could also try using some of the methods I use to increase blood circulation in the scalp, which help increase the supply of nutrients to the hair, via the bloodstream.

Your priority should be to eliminate the cause of the itching. Once you have achieved this you can start applying techniques to reactivate dormant hair follicles.

I would suggest massaging organic cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil into your scalp every night to help clear up the dandruff. Wash the coconut oil out each morning with a good shampoo such as one of these organic shampoos, one of these ant-DHT shampoos or one of these specialist hair loss shampoos. Ideally choose a shampoo that contains zinc — this will also help further clear up the dandruff.

I would also increase your consumption of oily fish such as salmon and mackerel for increased omega 3. Also increase your consumption of green leafy vegetables such as baby leaf spinach to increase your iron intake.

Stress is a possible cause of your hair loss. Do you exercise regularly? You should aim to get quality strenuous exercise (that makes you sweat and get out of breath) three times a week if possible. Take some time to relax every day without any distractions and try to get a good nights sleep every night.

If you feel stress is a big problem for you, try downloading my eBook, which has a chapter dedicated to training your mind to relax in stressful situations — it also comes with a free 8 part audio subliminal mind training programme, which trains your mind to stay calm and focused.
