Hair Thinning/Loss

Hair Thinning/Loss

Thinning hair refers to mild to moderate hair loss. Unlike widespread hair loss or alopecia, thinning hair doesn't necessarily cause baldness. Thinning or damaged hair can be extremely stressful, especially, if you don't know what is causing it. While a large number of people suffer from hair problems, the causes can vary quite a bit from person to person.

  • Medications
