Hey :D
 
I used to have thick hair until like 6th grade . Now(in 9th grade) its a quarter of what it used to be. I straighten my hair everyday and I am also on this pill called Accutane which might be causing the hair loss. I really want my hair back so Is there anything I can do ?
 
I do oil my hair twice a week and massage it for about 2 minutes a day. I also don't wash my hair everyday.
 
Thanks for you time and help 😃

What straightner do you use..?
it may be cause of the straightner you are using... because one of my friends used to use a really bad straightner it used leave her hair burnt and she also lost quite a bit of hair,
once she stopped using that straightner her hair was fine, she used oil and i think it worked for her.

i dont know if that straightner is good or not, bc i havent come across it,
i use GHD and for me that is the best, i have been using my GHD for over 2years now,
before that i used remington, and that was really bad! 
 
hmm.. trying leaving your hair natural for couple of weeks but oil it as well, might help!!

Hey choco.bub,
 
If you can wash your face everyday then why not your hair? 🤔
 
I agree with Munchkin,
Try leaving your hair in it's natural condition for a few days.
+& You will notice differences.
 
Also,
I wanna' ask; Do you use heat protectant?
 
I think that's the reason your hair is falling out,
and the reason you straighten everyday.
 
You should only really be straightening like once or twice a week.
+& I also wash my hair every morning.
 
Before my shower I apply oil to my hair, I massage it in.
+& Then wash it out, before I used to apple oil in wet hair.
But.. these day's I really can't be bothered... 😆

Yeah I use the hair protectant that comes with the straightener. I don't wash my hair everyday because the good oils get washed out and then your hair gets rough :D

@choco.bub: if you use a mild shampoo suitable for your hair texture, it won't make ur hair rough! maybe next time u visit the salon, u could ask ur hairstylist to suggest a shampoo based on ur hair type! even using a conditioner can really help! 
i wash my hair everyday but i've never had to face rough hair. in fact it helps by making my hair soft and managable!

and i agree with jiyaa and selena! you shouldn't straighten your hair everyday! i have wavy hair and lately i don't straighten it much. maybe once a week or two trust me, its better with each day! 
and even when u do straighten, a good quality heat protecting serum or spray is a must! its best to let your hair dry completely and naturally before you straighten it so that there is less damage

My tip... wash your everyother day... washing it everyday can damage it...
 
I swear by castor oil... Its quite thick but its awesome... do it twice a week... you put it on washed hair... rub into the roots... I cant say itll make your hair thick but it does decrease fall out and makes them grow
 
and maybe try straightening it less than everyday...

There's nothing wrong with washing your hair everyday,
It's actually scientifically proven it's the same as washing every other day.
 
Also,
What heat protectant do you use?
+& How is your natural hair like? Curly/Wavy?
 
Try straightening only twice or even once a week.
In my opinion, I absolutely adore curly hair, I wish I had curly hair!😆
 
Try oiling your hair aswell,
Maybe three times a week, make sure to do so on a sunday night.
Massage (Any type of) oil in the roots and ends, since the ends of our hair can go really dead and frizzy.
 
Sleep with the oil in your hair and wash it out on the monday morning, use your normal everyday shampoo and conditioner,
and then just a pint of baby oil and massage into wet hair.
