Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns according to the latest medical guidelines. Neither straightening, nor age. It is male pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia) and is due to hormonal effects of Dihydrotestosterone on the hair follicles (the roots of hair). Can you send me the pictures of your scalp and hair line from front and top of the head view to see how to proceed further. Also tell me if you have dandruff or other issues of scalp? Which shampoo do you use? We may need to change your shampoo too. Take Capsule Perfectil for hair Nails and Skin for better results in terms of hair density. Apply Minoxidil spray on the scalp. Taking Tablet Finasteride helps a lot in male pattern hair loss. Hope I answered all of your questions.
