Key Takeaways
Research is crucial: Always prioritize evidence-based treatments and research the supplement's clinical trials (double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled studies) before using it.
Start early: Begin addressing hair thinning early to maintain existing hair and support growth.
Consult a dermatologist: Hair thinning is a symptom, not a diagnosis. A dermatologist can provide a formal diagnosis and treatment plan. Seek immediate attention for rapid thinning, scarring, itching, or pain.
Consider internal and external approaches: Explore both oral (supplements or prescription medications) and topical options, along with lifestyle changes. Drug-free options exist, such as Nutrifol, which addresses root causes like hormones, stress, and lifestyle.
Be patient: Treatments often take several months (around six months) to show results; don't give up too soon. Avoid tight hairstyles, high heat styling, and understand that hair thinning isn't solely inherited maternally.
