Tired of Hiding Thinning Hair and Bald Spots?

Hair loss can occur for a number of reasons. Hereditary and aging are two of the most common reasons you may notice your hair thinning. With hereditary hair loss, which happens to both men and women, you have genes that cause hair follicles to shrink and stop growing hair. Men often experience a receding hairline and/or bald spot on the crown of their head with this type of hair loss. Women often notice a widening part and thinning of hair overall.

Other causes of hair loss include alopecia (immune system attacks hair follicles), major stress, sudden weight gain or weight loss, haircare (harsh dyes and treatments), hair styles (tight ponytails), hormonal imbalances, medication side effects, thyroid disease, nutritional deficiencies, and even sudden illnesses.

Initially, it is important to talk with your primary care physician to get to the root of any imbalances and deficiencies that may be causing your hair loss.
