Its highly unlikely any hair products caused your hair loss. It just doesn't work like that.

But if it did...stopping the use of hair products would bring the hair back.

I did stopped the use of products, and i shaved my head, it grew my hair back but not all. I've been to 2 dermatologists and one told me that i have diffuse alopecia areata and another diffuse alopecia, and prescribed me some hair supplements but it didn't work, i don't know what to try and i heard of this website that maybe someone had the same issue.

Nobody in your family has hairloss?
yes my father and 2 brothers why?

then what in the world makes you think styling products caused your hairloss and not genetics?
because it fell from all my head and i am 100% sure that i'm not genetic, so should i try minoxidil or not?

Another theorist!

How exactly does putting any thing on your hair cause it to fall out? Hairloss happens below the surface of the scalp.

For s.a.f:
The hair follicle is under the skin, but what makes you think bad chemicals from hair products cannot go down along the hair and reach the follicle?? You spray your hair, some good amount of spray gets on the scalp, then you sweat, and from here to the chemicals reaching the hair follicle is not a long distance, especially if you leave the product on your scalp enough by not washing the hair.
Then, it's another aspect: some people are predisposed to balding due to genes, dht, etc. Other people don't have this problem at all. Do you think it's not possible that, bad chemicals from hair products to not affect healthy hair at all, but to affect hair which is already being "attacked" by DHT and so, to speed up baldness??
Excuse me, but i think you analyze some aspects too superficially.

OF COURSE, hair products DO NOT CAUSE BALDNESS, otherwise almost all people would be bald, but IT MAY BE POSSIBLE that hair products can SPEED UP hair loss in people who are already supposed to bald. And it's logical: maybe 100% healthy hair can fight the bad chemicals in hair products, but hair which is already attacked by DHT can simply fall out when it is further attacked by other causes.
What the original poster says is logical: he simply had full hair, then used products, and in a short time(maybe even a month) he lost much hair. It is very possbile that those products sped up his hairloss. He may have lost that hair, but in a longer time.

This is also the idea of hair specialists: they admit that there has not been proved a connection yet between hair products and hairloss, so they only DO NOT RECCOMEND using hair products if you have hairloss problems.
Think about it, it is the same story with food additives: food producers say they are harmless, but it may not be the case at all, in fact, day by day more arguments appear supporting that processed food is bad, may cause cancer and a lot of diseases, etc.
