Hair is an important feature of our appearance. The human body has hair spread across the entire skin surface, except for the palm of hands, sole of feet and lips. Hair performs functions like protecting sensitive areas such as the nose and eyes from dust and communicating the sensation of light touch. The colour, thickness, curl, and amount of hair depend on genetic factors. Hair is composed of a protein called keratin. The process of hair growth and maturity is called keratinization<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/conditionsandtreatments\/hair\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Once the lifecycle of hair is over, it falls off and is replaced by new hair<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/004005.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your body loses more and more hair as you age. It is a common problem faced by nearly everyone. But it is important to not take any medications without seeking professional help. You may experience hair thinning because of loss of hair strands on the head or with ageing<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/004005.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aafp.org\/afp\/2003\/0701\/p93.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_Hair_Thinning\"><\/span><strong>What Causes Hair Thinning?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may experience hair thinning because of the causes listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Ageing:<\/strong> A change in hair thickness can be a result of ageing. Hair is made of strands of protein. The average lifespan of a hair follicle is 2 to 7 years, and then the hair falls off and is replaced with new hair. With ageing, hair strands become smaller and have less pigment. The thick hair in adulthood becomes thin, fine, and light-coloured with ageing. Many hair follicles stop producing new hair<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/004005.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Androgenic Alopecia:<\/strong> Androgenic alopecia is one of the most common causes of hair loss in men and hair thinning in women.
