With the passage of time, due to aging, hair begins to lose volume and thickness. However, hair loss or thinning on the top of the head can also be due to health conditions, stress, nutrient deficiency, etc.
Therefore, the indicated treatment seeks to improve the texture, volume, thickness and strength of the hair, without substituting good nutrition and consumption habits. Unlike total hair loss, thinning hair and partial hair loss on top of the head does not necessarily lead to baldness, but it does distort the natural appearance of the scalp.
In this sense, we can say that as hair thinning occurs gradually, it is possible to identify the causes in time to apply the best treatment measures according to the needs.
What causes thinning hair?
Thinning hair on the top of the head can be symptoms of conditions related to our consumption habits, genetics or even both.
On the other hand, certain medical conditions can lead to partial hair loss or thinning hair:
- About treating hair: Which includes dyes, perms and relaxers.
- Abuse of hair products: Such as extreme hold hairsprays and gels.
- Tight hairstyles: Hairstyles that are too tight can break hair follicles, causing hair thinning.
- Lack of nutrients and minerals: Deficiency of iron and folic acid leads to thinning hair.
- Chronic stress: Chronic stress is related to excessive cortisol production, the increase of which can limit natural hair growth.
Meanwhile, other causes are related to hereditary factors or underlying medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, skin disorders, infections and even trauma.
Understanding hair loss
Identifying hair loss or thinning hair is critical. Some hair loss is normal, as it is part of natural hair growth, but delayed hair growth, thinning or partial hair loss is synonymous with a problem.
In this regard, it is worth mentioning the three stages of the growth cycle:
- Anagen stage: Begins when the hair strands are actively growing. A stage that can last from two to eight years.
- Catagen stage: At this point the hair has stopped growing and is preparing to shed. It has an estimated time of three weeks
- Telogen stage: In this stage the hair is expelled from the follicle. Once the hair falls out, the follicle remains inactive for approximately three months before new hair sprouts.
If you suddenly notice that you are losing more hair than usual or visualize uneven spaces on the top of your head, it may be a sign of a major hair problem.
