    GlossaryHair Aging

    natural changes in hair color, texture, and density over time

    Hair aging, also known as aging hair or hair ageing, refers to the natural process where hair undergoes changes in color, texture, density, and strength over time. This can include graying due to reduced melanin production, thinning as hair follicles shrink, and increased dryness and brittleness as the scalp produces less oil. These changes are influenced by genetic factors, hormonal shifts, and environmental exposures.

      Topical melatonin may help reduce hair loss and increase hair thickness in people with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with some studies showing positive results. It can be mixed with minoxidil for application, and its effectiveness might be enhanced when used with micro-needling, but results may vary among individuals.
