There are many factors which cause the rate of hair loss to speed up or slow down, however, it is known for certain that a person’s total hair volume decreases with age. This occurs even if there is no predisposition to genetic balding, as some hairs will randomly begin to shrink in width and not grow a long as a person ages. The result of this process is that each group of hairs contains both full terminal hairs and thinner hairs, (these are similar to the finer hairs which grow on the rest of the body), making the scalp look less full. Over time some of the thinner hairs are lost and the actual number of follicular units may well be reduced.
