What causes thinning hair?
When you start losing hair, you might feel quick to blame yourself. You may think it’s the new shampoo or hair product you’ve been using or even the increased frequency of hat-wearing you’ve indulged in.
The truth is that hair loss can result from several different causes. The most common cause is male pattern baldness (MPB). Your hair thinning is not a result of any product or lifestyle decision but is mainly due to genes. You may have inherited it from your parents. However, the major culprits of MPB are testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Testosterone tends to convert into DHT, which makes your hair follicles weaker. DHT further shrinks your hair follicles and shortens the hair growth cycle, leading to significant hair loss.[1]
Consumption of an unbalanced or poor diet or smoking may contribute to rapid hair thinning. Minerals such as iron and proteins play important roles in hair development. Without enough of these nutrients, your hair may become weaker and more brittle. You may need to take additional supplements such as biotin to support your hair.
As for smoking, toxins in the smoke can harm hair follicles. The smoke may lead to decreased blood circulation. This means that if you smoke, you are more likely to need hair thinning treatment. If you are an avid smoker, you may want to consider quitting if you notice your head of hair beginning to go bald.
What are the best treatments for thinning hair?
At Mosh, we believe that the most effective hair thinning treatment is one that is tailored to your specific needs. We don’t just give you an over-the-counter generic hair loss medicine and leave it at that. We make an effort to get to know you and your situation. Through this method, we can ensure our medications can effectively treat hair loss.
Having personalised hair loss treatment is key to having the most success in preventing your thinning crown. You can avoid drastic processes such as surgery as our services are based on what you prefer and the latest in clinical studies. Our medications for hair loss range from natural treatments such as seabuckthorn-infused shampoo and conditioner with avocado oil to FDA-approved medical hair loss drugs such as minoxidil.
Using our services is stress-free as you simply need to give us details about your symptoms and medical history through our short online quiz. All this information will be used by your doctor to provide you with appropriate treatment recommendations.
Your hair loss treatment will be delivered to your home after your doctor provides you with a diagnosis and, if appropriate, a prescription. Subscribing to our service eliminates the need for regular pharmacy visits and sorting through different medicine brands.
How long do these treatments take to work?
The effects of hair thinning treatments vary as your body reacts differently. There are also other factors in play that could affect the result of the treatment for thinning hair. We usually give a combination of treatment methods so you can achieve your desired results.
