Thinning hair?

Im 18yrs old and the 6 months or so my hair has been thinning. I used to have full thick nice hair. Granted i used chemical treatments on it like colors and stuff but i no longer have any color or chems in my hair. I grew it out and cut it off so its my natural healthy hair. My hair gets very oily. I have to wash it everyday otherwise its very oily. Its thinning in the bang area and the sides of my head. Does anyone know the reason for this? Stress? Over washing? Maybe the oily hair has something to do with it. Whats a good way to bring my healthy hair back. Any suggestions?

1. You should go see/ask a dermatologist. They will be able to supply you with an answer. Just from what I know you will have had to have traumatic stress in your life for it to be stress.. if it were from chemicals or washing your hair would be breaking off not falling out.. Oily hair has nothing to do with it. You're a bit young but hair as you get older will thin out.. nothing to freak out over just the way life is. But honestly if it is a huge concern to you go see a dermatologist and they will be able to give you a professional answer.
2. It could be a hereditary thing going on here. I would ask your parents about the Genetics in your/their families. An No, it is never too early or too late for someone to go bald or get thinning hair. I would call a Professional Hair dresser and/or seek a Doctors advice though. Call a Pharmacist, may even help to find someone who has Professional answers for you. Best wishes. My son is age 27 and he is already going bald in those same areas.
3. I'm the same age and the same thing is happening to me. From what I understand, this could happen if you are taking in to much caffeine, to much stress (long term stress), or even not getting enough water into your body every day. A lot of the hair products, that supposedly grow hair back (which I'm tempted in trying,) have pumpkin in it, whether it's the seed or just the pumpkin itself. I'm thinking of just getting some pumpkins, mashing it up and putting it in some sort of conditioner. Other than that, that's all I know. ^^;
