Why Is Your Hair Getting Thinner?
Hair can begin to look thinner because of aging, hormonal changes, genetics, stress, styling damage, nutritional factors and changes in scalp health.
Product buildup, excess oil and residue can also make hair feel heavier and flatter, which is why proper scalp care is often part of a healthy hair routine.
What about baking soda?
Baking soda is sometimes used to help remove oil and product buildup. However, it has not been proven to regrow hair and excessive use can dry or irritate the scalp.
If thinning becomes sudden, severe or persistent, a dermatologist can help determine what may be causing it and which options make sense.
