What is aging hair?
As you age, there can be some common changes in your hair:
Hair Graying
Hair starts going gray when special cells called melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicles stop producing melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. For many, graying hair starts at the temples, and then extends towards the top of the head.
Hair Thinning
There are many factors that can make hair look thinner as you age. One is that hair follicles shrink over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair. Genetics, imbalanced diet, and stress are other factors that can also play a role in hair thinning.
As hair follicles shrink, hair will become finer. The diameter of the hairs in women usually increases until their 40’s, and then starts decreasing.
Stress, hormonal change, or even medication can also impact hair thinning. Telogen Effluvium, an often temporary type of hair loss caused by these factors, results in excessive shedding. The stress in your life may cause hair follicles to be pushed into a resting phase of the hair growth cycle, causing them to fall out from even simple actions such as washing or combing.
Dry and Brittle Hair
There are also some common textural changes to aging hair. Aging hair loses moisture and becomes drier and more brittle, often taking on a frizzy look.
Can you stop hair from thinning and excessive shedding?
