What is Hair Thinning?

    • Hair thinning is described as a hair mass decrease problem where hair loses some of its natural thickness
    • Hair mass decrease means you may have the same number of hair follicles, but thinner individual strands which reduces hair volume
    • This concern can also be seen in the case of female pattern baldness

What causes Hair Thinning?

  • 1. Ageing - Hair thinning is common in ageing. Hair strands become thinner and lose volume. The rate of hair growth also reduces.
  • 3. Hereditary: Hair thinning could also be due to a genetic condition known as hereditary hair loss.

 

  • 2. Lifestyle habits are a key contributor to thinning hair. These include:
    • Over-treating your hair with colour treatments, perms, relaxers, and more.
    • Using harsh hair products loaded with chemicals, such as extreme-hold hair sprays and gels. Temporary hair colouring can also be damaging for your hair.
    • Nutritional deficiencies such as lack of iron, folic acid, and other minerals in your diet.
    • Experiencing increased levels of stress can raise hormones like cortisol and in turn curb hair growth.
  • 4. Underlying medical considerations can also lead to this condition. You might have thinning hair if you:
    • recently had a baby
    • have discontinued taking birth control pills
    • are going through hormonal changes
    • are being treated for an autoimmune disease
    • have a weak immunity
    • are having a skin disorder
