Thinning hair is an issue that both men and women encounter, regardless of age.
However, by the age of 50, the chances of hair loss are greater and increase as one gets older. The reasons for hair loss are continually being researched and many findings have found hair loss in women can be attributed to childbirth, from heredity, stress or stressful events, thyroid levels to hair care practices that stress the hair and scalp.
Nutrition is a key factor in growing thicker hair, and usually an adjustment in lifestyle as well.
