What happens when we notice the thinnest hair?

It is more common than we think to realize that the hair has lost thickness and density, and this is known as hair miniaturization or weight loss. This is a process that is usually progressive, although there are also cases in which the effects of miniaturization are almost immediate. The key is knowing how to identify when we should worry and when, on the contrary, it is a temporary stage in our hair life cycle and will cease in time.

The symptoms of having miniaturized hair are, mainly, lack of thickness in the structure of the hair fiber, greater hair loss and even the appearance of areas without hair in areas such as the entrances, crown and hairline.

If at any time you have looked in the mirror and thought "my hair is finer than before", and the visual impact does not stop but only gets worse, it is essential to go to an expert hair clinic in Spain to receive a personalized diagnosis. In this way we will find the cause that promotes this hair thinning and, thus, act accordingly.

Development of androgenic alopecia

The first symptom of a androgenic alopecia It is precisely the miniaturization of hair. This tends to occur more frequently among men, although this type of alopecia also occurs in women. of. This is the worst case scenario, since the weakening and thinning of the hair would correspond to the first symptom of alopecia. That is, if we do not treat it in time the hair follicle It will end up being destroyed, generating permanent baldness in the patient.

Age
