How Hair Grows
Hair growth follows a natural cycle rather than happening nonstop. It goes through phases of growing, resting, and shedding so new strands can grow in. Hair comes from small openings in the skin called follicles, which rely on proper nutrients and good circulation. Learning how this cycle works makes it easier to support hair health at every stage.
Reasons Hair Becomes Thinner
There are several common reasons hair thinning occurs with age. Hormonal shifts over time can slow hair growth or cause new hair to grow in finer. Other contributing factors may include:
- Thyroid-related conditions
- Lack of essential nutrients
- Frequent use of heat styling tools or chemical treatments
- Overall scalp and skin health
