Thinning Hair at the Scalp? Here's What Might Be Causing It
Posted by Xandrox on 8th Jun 2025
Noticing your hair isn’t as thick as it used to be, especially at the scalp? You’re not alone. Scalp thinning is a common concern for both men and women, and it can creep up slowly or hit fast, affecting confidence and self-image. The good news? Understanding the cause is the first step to taking control. Let’s break it down.
Common Causes of Thinning Hair at the Scalp
1. Androgenetic Alopecia (Male & Female Pattern Baldness)
The #1 reason for hair thinning. It's genetic and the consequence of a sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a byproduct of testosterone. Over time, DHT reduces hair follicle size, leading new hair to be thinner and shorter until it totally halts growth.
2. Hormonal Imbalances
For women, shifts in estrogen and progesterone (pregnancy, menopause, birth control shifts) may lead to shedding. Men might notice changes after 30 as testosterone levels begin to shift.
3. Stress & Lifestyle Factors
Stress, sleep deprivation, and diet all contribute to hair loss. Your hair is responding to the rest of your body - anything that upsets your system will show up on your scalp.
4. Medical Conditions
Thyroid disease, autoimmune disorders (such as alopecia areata), or scalp infections (such as seborrheic dermatitis or fungal infections) may all result in diffuse thinning or patchy loss.
5. Hair Care Habits
Overstyling, too much heat, chemical processing, or tight hairstyles can harm hair follicles and result in breakage or traction alopecia.
