Ageing is a natural process where our body undergoes many changes over a long period. One of the common issues many people face, both men and women, is hair thinning.
This is often hereditary for men who are victims of male pattern baldness, which can cause hair thinning or bald spots. One of the reasons why men’s hair gets thinner over time is due to DHT in their bodies, which is a byproduct of testosterone. Those with particularly more than the average amount of DHT in their body will have weaker hair follicles. For this, it’s recommended to see your doctor to discuss whether it’s with being prescribed finasteride, a DHT blocker.
For many people, though, this is treatable with a well-balanced diet full of nutrients and a regular hair care routine with products formulated to treat strands of hair that are particularly thin, weak, and unhealthy.
