Oily itchy scalp causing thinning hair??

Hi, I'm a 20 year old male,

I've noticed that my hair is thinning all over but shows mostly on top of my head. (not at all like male pattern baldness) I wash my hair every day but my scalp itches alot and by the end of the day my hair gets really greasy and smells bad too.

is it possible that the itchy oily scalp is causing my hair to thin?? I'm really annoyed at this because I have no idea what is causing the thinning.

I understand there is always a chance that it is hereditary but in my family the men start losing the hair (not a lot) when over 50.

Thanks in advance.

Oily itchy scalp causing thinning hair??

first try not to wash your hair every day. its causes your scalp to over react and it makes more oil...maybe why its gets oily by the end of the day. also use good products to wash your hair with and im not sure if they have it for men but i usually buy a spray for my hair that makes your hair not look shiny...maybe try that?

Sounds a little like dermatitus. Go to a doctor and you can get special shampoo.Are you allergic to any natural ingredients? Well all male pattern baldness starts somewhere? Maybe your the start of it? Dont worry too much! Men can get away with thinning hair more than women! It wont cause thinning i dont think! But possibly the conditon might be in a bad state.

I would got a dermatologist and have them to a culture of yourscalp. There could be something very simple you need to take care of, or Sometimes the follicles produce to much dhth, and it causes the follicles to thin and eventually fall out.

Also you can goto a high end saloon and they can recommend a shampoo for thinning hair that might make your scalp healthier. I am not sure if I am spelling it right but there is a 4 step system shampoo (its really expensive) but not as expensive as monoxidle(rogaine for men) and the name sounds like this (Nioxen) My hair dresser said this works very well for men to strengthen the hair they still have. This however doesn't grow new hair.
