Question 10

Understanding Hair Loss in Men & Women

Accepted Answer

Numerous variables can have an impact on hair growth, and while hair loss is typically a problem for elderly men, many women also experience diminished volume or thinning hair at some point in their lives. This can have an impact on one's confidence and self-esteem and is occasionally a sign of other health problems that require attention.

There are many reasons why women lose their hair. Stress, a healthy lifestyle, diet, heredity, the outside environment, hormonal changes, and medical conditions can all be factors in hair loss or thinning.

40% of women experience hair thinning after menopause and around 70% of women over the age of 70 experience female-pattern hair loss1. Women are more susceptible than males to several unusual hormonal change-related hair loss triggers, such as pregnancy and menopause, because of the constantly fluctuating hormone levels they experience throughout their lifetimes.

Men and women both naturally lose a tiny amount of hair each day—about 100 hairs. When specific triggers, such as those stated above, disrupt the hair development cycle, more hair than usual enters the resting (shedding) phase, resulting in conspicuous areas of loss, hair loss or thinning.

Question 11

Reasons Why My Hair Is Falling Out

Accepted Answer

Reason 1: Hereditary Hair Loss

Some of us are born with genetics that lead to hair loss, which is a type of hair loss called androgenetic alopecia.3 This type of balding or hair thinning affects both men and women.

Male pattern baldness tends to appear first above the temples and at the top of the head, leading to a receding hairline and a bald spot on the crown.

Female pattern hair loss, on the other hand, doesn’t cause a receding hairline. Instead, it tends to lead to thinning of the hair on top of the head and a widening of middle parts, but it isn’t common for female pattern hair loss to result in baldness.

Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic condition that doesn’t have a cure. But there are products that can help you to get fuller hair . Hairstyles that increase volume can help hide this type of hair loss.

Reason 2: Hormonal Changes

Hormones play a key role in our hair growth and shedding cycles, and many stages of our lives can cause changes in our hormones.4 Bodily changes, such has pregnancy, menopause, or puberty can affect hair follicles, leading to female hair loss.

Some hormonal changes caused by life stages will eventually balance out. But stages such as menopause, which leads to a drop in estrogen, can permanently leave hair thinner and weaker. You can combat thinning hair with hair thickening products that leave hair looking and feeling fuller.

Reason 3: Tight Hairstyles

Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by consistent stress on the hair follicle.5 It usually presents as a thinning of the hair along the hair line, resulting in a receding hair line.

You can develop this type of hair loss if you regularly wear your hair in styles that pull on your strands, like tight ponytails, braids, or buns. If you use chemicals or heat on your hair, these styles can also cause hair to weaken and break easily when it’s pulled back.

While traction alopecia can be reversed when caught early and you stop pulling your hair into tight styles, it can be permanent if hair isn’t given time to recover. This happens because the hair follicle, which sits inside the scalp, can die due to continued trauma.

If you’re concerned about traction alopecia, the easiest way to treat it is simply to give your hair some freedom. Use only loose hairstyles, try not to pull your hair too tightly when wrapping it in a towel, and stay away from hats or accessories that don’t let your scalp breathe.

Reason 4: Emotional or Physical Stress

Telogen Effluvium is the kind of hair loss caused by severe stress.6 Periods of physical or emotional trauma can disrupt our natural hair growth and shedding cycles, which may lead to thinning hair around the top of the head. This happens when regular shedding isn’t replaced right away with new hair as the scalp releases more strands than usual.

Hair loss caused by stress tends to affect those with female hormones rather than those with male hormones. And while it may start with clumps or handfuls of hair coming out at once, it doesn’t lead to total or permanent hair loss.

The treatment for telogen effluvium starts with finding the stressor that leads to hair loss. Usually, when the cause is treated, this type of hair loss resolves within about six months.

Reason 5: Side Effects of Medical Treatments

Anagen Effluvium is hair loss due to medical treatments like chemotherapy.7 This type of hair loss doesn’t cause scarring on the scalp, which means that it isn’t permanent and is easily reversed once the medical treatment is completed.

For those undergoing medical treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, hair loss can be rapid and often lead to total baldness. While there aren’t treatments yet to prevent this type of hair loss, as long as the scalp is kept healthy and clean, it’s usually not physically uncomfortable.

Question 12

How Can I Stop My Hair from Falling Out?

Accepted Answer

Treating hair loss or preventing hair from falling out depends on the cause and type of the alopecia hair loss you’re experiencing. Since hair shedding is a natural process, most types of hair loss aren’t anything to be overly concerned about. And many causes of hair loss tend to resolve themselves.

To help prevent hair loss, be sure that your scalp is clean and healthy, and that you’re eating a well-balanced diet and getting enough sleep. Hair thinning treatments can have a positive effect and help prevent hair from falling out due to age or genetics.

Question 13

How to Get Thicker Hair With Just a Few Simple Changes

Accepted Answer

Noticing your hair getting thinner can be unnerving, especially since the cause of the problem can be so hard to determine. But there are a few easy steps you can follow to minimize the thinning and get thicker, fuller-looking hair.

Keep reading to discover advice from our experts on how to get thicker hair.

1. Start with caring for your scalp
Healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp, so various scalp issues like dandruff, product build-up, physical damage or skin medical conditions may disrupt the hair growth cycle. Therefore, you need to care for your scalp, just as you would for the skin on your face. If you are practicing skincare and investing in products for your face, your scalp should benefit from the same treatment. Here's what you can do to take better care of your scalp:

Wash your hair regularly with gentle products that won’t strip the scalp or the hair from the oil that keeps it moisturized. Here’s how to figure out how often should you wash your hair

When shampooing the hair, massage your scalp for a couple of minutes. This will stimulate the blood to the scalp and hair follicles, helping hair growth

If you are dealing with dandruff, or a dry scalp, use dedicated products that will treat the issue

Get a scalp peeling once in a while to remove build-up and deeply cleanse. Our Scalp Dermabrasion Treatment is great for that because it’s basically like a facial for the scalp!

2. Eat the right nutrients
Our hair needs the right nutrients to grow, so if you want to get thicker hair, one area to investigate is your diet. A healthy hair diet needs to be rich in protein as well as iron, omega-3, zinc, selenium and vitamins like biotin. You can get enough of these if you have a balanced diet, but if you are struggling with hair thinning, you can take hair supplements formulated to support growth.

3. Practice correct hair care
If you want to get thicker hair your hair care routine is very important. This is where you can make a big difference, simply by using the right products and addressing a few ‘bad habits’ that might damage your hair. First of all, if you have thinning hair, use hair care products that are formulated to specifically target that. Our Nioxin System Kits contain three products designed to address the signs of thinning and contain:

a cleansing shampoo that will gently clean the scalp and the hair

a conditioner that nourishes both the scalp and the hair

a targeted scalp treatment

The System Kits address the needs of different hair types, and you can find the right one by using our Consultation Tool. Getting thicker hair takes time, but until then you can make your hair look thicker and fuller with the right styling products and hairstyles. We have a range of thickening styling products that are easy to use whilst caring for the hair and scalp, but also a few hair styling ideas and tips for different stages of hair thinning. Additionally, don’t hesitate to ask your hairdresser for the right haircut that will make the hair look fuller and emphasize what you’ve got. You can also make your hair look thicker through hair color: subtle highlights through the hair are a great way to add dimension. Also avoid causing more physical damage to the hair by using heat styling tools or brushing the hair when wet for example. If you do need to use heat to style or dry your hair, make sure to apply a heat protectant product before. Noticing your hair getting thinner can be unnerving, especially since the cause of the problem can be so hard to determine. But there are a few easy steps you can follow that may help minimize the thinning and get thicker, fuller-looking hair. Keep reading to discover advice from our experts on how to get thicker hair.

Question 14

Haircuts for Women with Thin Hair

Accepted Answer

1. The Bob

The bob is an ideal short haircut for women with thin hair that comes in a variety of lengths and styles. A short to medium bob won't weigh your hair down and will make it appear denser and bouncier. You can emphasize this depth and create additional texture with the use of highlights and layering. Straight-edge, curved, asymmetrical or choppy, the numerous variations of the bob mean you can constantly change your style without sacrificing on volume.

2. Pixie Cut

Medium to short hairstyle lengths for fine hair are ideal, as anything longer could accentuate its "stringy" quality. The pixie cut falls more on the shorter side of the spectrum and is an ideal short hairstyle for women with fine hair. By keeping the sides short but growing out the top and bangs, you’ll be able to create some interesting textures and volume. The pixie can also be layered, paired with blunt bangs, or side swept for different variations on the cut.

3. The Shag

One of our favorite medium hairstyles for thin hair is the shag. Shag haircuts with textured layers give thin hair plenty of volume and body. Adding a center part and gentle waves throughout will give your hairstyle a retro 70’s inspired vibe that’s perfect for a night out. The layers in this cut are super versatile, so a slightly messy bedhead can still look chic when you don’t have time to style your hair. The shag haircut can also be paired with side or middle bangs, as they will blend seamlessly into the rest of your hair.

4. Layered Waves

Selecting the best hairstyle for long, thin hair can be a challenge, as the wrong long cut can accentuate your hair’s thinness. Face-framing layers and longer layers give long, thin hair more volume and movement and prevent the ends of your hair from looking stringy. Beachy, loose waves add additional texture and round out your look nicely. Using a curling iron with a large barrel and some texturizing spray will give your waves a loose and soft look.

5. The Updo

When it comes to updos for thin hair, keeping things soft and airy will help you achieve that effortless look with added body. Teasing your hair in the front before pulling it back into a bun or high ponytail is a great way to add volume. Accessories like head scarves, barrettes, and statement clips are another easy way to give your hair a fuller and denser appearance. Adding a side braid or some face framing pieces can elevate your updo and take your look from day to night. If braiding is your thing, try gently pulling out the braid to make the hair look thicker.

6. Bangs

Getting curtain bangs, sideswept bangs, bottleneck bangs or long layer bangs can instantly add more fullness to thin hair, while framing your face nicely and giving you a fresh new look! For those with thin hair, a full fringe can be difficult to achieve and can emphasize how thin the rest of your hair is. That’s why we recommend working with wispier, shorter bangs and teasing the root for extra volume.

Question 15

Everyday Tips for Making Thin or Fine Hair Appear Thicker

Accepted Answer

Now that you’ve found your next hairstyle, here are a few things you can do to keep your hair looking thicker and more voluminous every day:

1. Keep hair short if you can

Naturally fine or thinning hair looks thinner when hair is long. To make your ends look fuller and thicker, try opting for medium or short length hair with a blunt cut. For extra body, try gently blow drying and teasing your roots to give them a lift.

2. Flip Your Parting to Add Volume

Having a center parting will instantly make your hair look thinner and flatter, especially if your hair is long. One way to instantly add a hit of volume is by flipping your parting to the side. Even if you already have a side parting, try flipping it to the other side to for extra body.

3. Apply Hair Gel to Shorter Styles

If you’re styling a pixie cut or super short style, applying a hair gel can add texture to fine or thin hair. Nioxin’s Thickening Hair Gel gives hair a noticeable volume boost and provides strong-hold, smooth-feel, and added texture.

4. Use a Specialized Hair Care Routine

Caring for your hair is so important to ensure your strands and scalp stay healthy, so using the right hair care and styling products is key. Our System Kits are specially formulated for light or progressed thinning. Our range of kits are designed for different hair types and levels of thinning, so you can choose the best kit for you! Featuring a cleansing shampoo, revitalizing conditioner and specialized scalp treatment, our System Kits are designed to reduce hair breakage and strengthen hair structure.

Question 17

How often should I use the 3-step system to see results?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using the complete system at least 3 times a week for visible results in 30 days.

Question 18

WHAT ARE THE EARLY SIGNS OF HAIR THINNING?

Accepted Answer

It is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day; an increase over this figure could indicate a hair loss issue. Some signs of excess hair shedding can include:

A widening hair parting

A more visible scalp

More hairs on your pillow

More hairs after brushing or combing

A thinner ponytail

More hairs lost during washing

These signs can appear in both men and women and recovery may be helped by targeted scalp treatments, cosmetically by adopting a hairstyle for thinning hair, or through use of thickening hair styling products. If you notice any of these signs and are worried about them, speak to a doctor or trichologist who can help you pinpoint and diagnose the underlying cause of the hair loss.

Question 19

What are the signs of male hair thinning?

Accepted Answer

Balding in men doesn’t occur overnight and it can take years or even decades to fully develop, however there are early signs you can spot. The process that occurs during male hair thinning can cause the hair around the temples, hairline and top of the head to have a shortened growth cycle, which can result in an uneven growth pattern in the affected area. The front hairline may start to resemble the shape of the letter ‘m’. Circular bald spots can also appear due to a condition called alopecia areata. Read more about male hair loss as well as its causes and treatments.

Question 20

How does the scalp impact thinning hair?

Accepted Answer

The ‘scalp environment' can contribute to thinning hair. A healthy scalp environment supports healthy hair growth. Healthy, deeply rooted hair comes from a scalp that is clean and free from debris. Build-up of sebum or products can cause irritation or inflammation that can impact hair growth.

Question 21

How does thinning hair affect the hair roots?

Accepted Answer

A loss in density (numbers of hair strands) in either one area, or throughout the scalp, is often one of the first signs of hair thinning. There are three phases in the hair growth cycle. For healthy hair, the scalp needs to be kept clean and the hair needs to be protected from damage and breakage – one of the most common causes of thin-looking hair. Nioxin’s approach provides hair resilience and control the moisture balance, strengthen the hair against breakage up to 91%.NIOXIN`s solutions help reduce hair loss due to breakage.

Question 22

How does thinning hair affect the hair strands?

Accepted Answer

Finer hair strands are another sign of thinning hair. This often means that the hair structure is weaker and not able to withstand over styling. The hair can appear fluffy or fall flat. NIOXIN's approach amplifies hair texture, delivering thicker and fuller looking hair. NIOXIN has found inspiration in premium skincare to supply advanced care for thinning hair. As an extension of facial skin, the scalp requires the same attention and treatment. The NIOXIN range of products, include shampoos for thinning hair, and are designed to strengthen, nourish and repair hair from its foundation. As scalp health supports hair health, this provides the perfect foundation for thicker, fuller looking hair.

Question 23

What Are the Risks of Vaping for Your Hair?

Accepted Answer

There is limited scientific research supporting whether or not vaping can result in alopecia. Despite this, the similarities between smoking and vaping could suggest a possible correlation between vaping and alopecia.

Smoking and vaping may be possible causes of androgenetic alopecia, the most common type of alopecia. For example, one study in the Journal of Trichology raised a possible link between alopecia and smoking. Some of the shared elements of smoking and vaping were raised as potential triggers for alopecia, such as nicotine and reduced blood flow.

Question 24

Solutions to Help Prevent Hair Thinning

Accepted Answer

Stop Vaping
It may feel like the right time for you to stop using e-cigarettes. There can be several motivations for this choice, including avoiding potentially harmful substances, lowering nicotine levels, or achieving healthier hair. However, there are lots of health-related reasons people may choose to continue vaping, including to help them with smoking addiction. Ultimately, adapting your lifestyle to remove vaping is a personal choice, and it's always a good idea for current e-cigarette users to consult a doctor before making any changes.
