Have you recently noticed some changes in your thick, lustrous hair? Is it perhaps not as full of body as it once was? It might have been this way for the last few months, or years even...hair loss and thinning is more common than you think.

On the road to facing your new hair challenges and progressive thinning, you would have likely come across many hair care products and hair loss treatments - one of them being Nioxin products. But with many options to choose from, which Nioxin System is right for you?

You see when it comes to thinning hair, every case varies between individual men and women. There are various causes, hair types and different levels of hair loss which in turn, mean different solutions to treating it.

In this blog, we are going to help you determine the roots of your hair concerns as well as which Nioxin System you should be using.

The various causes of hair loss

Thinning hair can be the result of many factors - let's break it down with the six different reasons you might be facing these hair challenges.

1. Genetic factors

A common cause of hair loss and thinning is an existing family predisposition. This is often triggered by age-related hormone changes caused by the conversion of testosterone to a toxin known as Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is inherited from your parents. For this reason, hair loss caused by genetic factors are experienced later in life.

2. Stress and trauma

Copious stress can result in increased levels of testosterone production, which then converts to DHT, interrupting the hair growth cycle. Additionally, stress and trauma tend to constrict the blood supply through our capillaries which then restricts oxygen and nutrient uptake to hair follicles. Stress related hair loss can therefore be temporary, however if you find yourself in high stress situations regularly it can become a more chronic issue.

3. Health issues

There are various underlying health issues that may be contributing to your hair loss. For women, this may include natural hormonal changes due to pregnancy or menopause, alternatively it may be a breakdown in the thyroid and its ability to produce the necessary hormones for hair growth.

4. Environmental factors

We are exposed to air and water pollution as well as chlorine, metals and minerals on a daily basis. If these types of environmental pollutants are left on our scalp or hair, it can contribute to thinning.

5. Medication

You may be taking medication to treat your present health concern, however, this medication may be contributing to your hair loss. Our hair follicles are extremely sensitive to changes in our bodies. Therefore, any kind of hormone medication, steroids or medication for diabetes, blood pressure, heart disease or acne can contribute to thinning hair.

6. Diet

Finally, as with many health concerns, our diet plays a significant role. Amino acids, biotin, iron, protein and zinc all contribute to healthy, thick hair - if your diet is lacking in these nutrients, it can have considerable effects on the growth of your hair.
