I am a woman and my hair is thinning in the front with bangs - what should I do?

I recently received an email from someone who said that she had noticed a lot of hair loss in her bang area - so much so that you could see the white of her scalp where her bangs met her head. She asked me what could be causing this and what she should do about it. I will tell you what I told her in the following article.

Things that can cause your hair to thin in the front:The first thing I asked her was if she had noticed an increase in the amount of hair she shed or lost. Since bangs are often sparser to begin with, this may be one of the first places you notice any thinning or flaking. And telogen effluvium (TE) is a condition that occurs due to changes in your body. For women, common culprits include changing hormones, stress, pregnancy, childbirth, stopping birth control pills, thyroid problems, and other things. It usually takes a few months between stress or changes to your body before you notice more hair coming out. As I said, the bangs are one place where you will first see thinning as this area has less hair to begin with. If you have this condition, you will often experience it because you lose hair everywhere - not just in the front. And you will see more clothes on the floor, on your clothes and in your brush.

Genetic hair loss in the front:Genetic thinning in men often manifests itself in the temples, if we are talking about the front of the scalp. However, women often notice thinning in their bang area. This is also due to hormones, but it is often not a deficiency of hormones or even an excess or hormones. It is a sensitivity to the normal presence of hormones that increase with age. It doesn't happen to everyone. In general, you have a genetic tendency to this sensitivity and the front of the scalp (as well as the crown, temples and part line) are particularly susceptible to it.

What you can do to thin the front:First, you need to determine exactly why this is happening. If this is from the mill TE, then generally time is only given in cases such as childbirth or stress. However, if this is due to a medical or other condition that you can treat and improve, you should certainly do so. This is important because this condition is unlikely to get better if you don't treat it or treat the right cause of it.

If this is a genetic problem we are talking about, you need to work on reducing your sensitivity to the androgens that are the cornerstone of this problem. Many people will try to remove their presence from the scalp, but this is really impossible. Your scalp will continue to produce them and as long as the sensitivity is there, you still have the problem. It's far better to work on both reducing them (if your levels are too high to be healthy) and reducing sensitivity.

Also, you should look at the inflammation and then reduce it. Often the inflammatory process is present in both TE and androgen-related loss. There are many natural substances that work well for this. (Tea tree oil, emu oil, lavender, etc.) Finally, you really want to focus on stimulating your scalp to reproduce healthy hair in that area. Once the androgens are treated, you need to use this window of opportunity to stimulate the follicles, because the longer they fail to produce adequate regrowth, the harder it becomes to restart this process.

Meanwhile, there are powders that can cover the whites of your scalp, like Topik and Couvre. They help. And you can try growing out your bangs so that the area where scalp meets bangs isn't as noticeable. But these things will only take you so far. Finally, you need to take the next step and figure out what is causing this and fix it.
