The Top Four Reasons Your Hair is Thinning

Most people are affected by hair loss or hair thinning issues and around 80 percent of the causes of these are genes inherited from either parent. The hair thinning problem affects both men and women, with baldness affecting both in the form of male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness.

It is important to note that hair thinning or a daily loss of hair is a natural phenomenon that can be attributed to aging or to the hair growth cycle–Telogen stage. As this is a natural phenomenon of hair, there is no kind of treatment if the hair falls due specifically to the Telogen stage. Hair loss or hair thinning due to certain external reasons or from a genetic cause requires a proper treatment in the form of a hair transplant procedure.

The hair transplant procedure is a process of shifting or transferring of hair roots from a donor location onto the receiver area which is affected by the baldness and then covered with a full head of hair. This is performed in an aesthetic manner in order to ensure the patient gets a proper angle and direction of root shifting and that it looks natural as an undetectable hair transplant result.

Top Four Reasons for Hair Thinning:

  1. Androgenic alopecia: This is a genetic disease that leads to the problem of pattern baldness in both men and women. Androgenic alopecia occurs due to the sensitivity of DHT hormone to the hair roots and results in severe hair loss or hair thinning.
  2. Thyroid Problem: Thyroid can cause hair thinning. The hormonal changes in the body that result in severe hair loss or thinning can be temporary or permanent and depends on the problem sensitivity and medication.
  3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer treatment can trigger severe hair loss and thinning due to their heavy radiation effect. This is temporary and the hair grows back after the completion of the treatment.
  4. Alopecia areata: This is an autoimmune disorder that causes a severe hair thinning problem due to the dysfunction of the body immune system.
