A person with naturally curly, voluminous hair experienced hair loss and balding spots. This issue became more noticeable in their early 30s, exacerbated by stress, weight fluctuations, and previous hair treatments. Their scalp was visible under office lights and in photographs.

Unsolicited comments from others about their balding scalp prompted them to seek help. The person's hair loss was also affected by their decision to rebond their hair due to self-consciousness about their natural texture.

Further details about the person's experience and their decision to address their hair loss are available from the source.
