Hair loss can sometimes be downplayed and treated as something of an inevitability as a person grows older, but the truth is that thinning hair can have a profound emotional impact on the sufferer and there are many possible causes.
It is not really vanity to be concerned with the state of your hair as thinning hair can be a symptom of hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition or illness and as such is a visible sign of your health.
Hair is lost all the time, but at certain times, the process may quicken or hair may not regrow. A proportion of our hair is always in the rest phase of its growth cycle, but if too much hair is in the rest phase, this is indicative of a problem.
A lot of products are available that help enhance hair, thickening it, but this does not address the cause of the issue. Many women experiencing hair loss while going through the menopause believe that this is an inevitability, but this is not true. You should not automatically seek out hair thickeners or wigs, because you may be able to improve hair growth and this is a preferable solution.
