What's Behind It

What Causes Hair Thinning & Loss

While genetics play a role in hair loss, hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, and nutrient deficiencies are common — and treatable — contributors that are often overlooked.

Identifying the actual cause matters, because the right treatment depends on what's driving it.

Common Signs Worth Evaluating

Noticeable thinning at the crown or part line
Increased hair shedding
Thinning alongside fatigue or weight changes
Hair loss after a stressful period or illness
Brittle or slow-growing hair
Family history of hair loss
