research HAIR DIAMETER IN FEMALE BALDNESS
Women with thinning hair have thinner hair strands than women without hair loss.
research What women want - quantifying the perception of hair amount: an analysis of hair diameter and density changes with age in caucasian women
This study analyzed changes in hair diameter and density with age in Caucasian women, highlighting variations in perception of hair amount over time.
research Evaluation of Hair Density and Hair Diameter in the Adult Thai Population Using Quantitative Trichoscopic Analysis
This study found that in the Thai population, hair density varies by scalp location and decreases with age, and that Asians generally have lower hair density compared to Caucasian and African populations.
research Parietal scalp is another affected area in female pattern hair loss: an analysis of hair density and hair diameter
This study found significant differences in hair density, non-vellus hair diameter, and percentage of miniaturized hair between normal women and those with female pattern hair loss, particularly in the midscalp and parietal areas.

The conversation discusses differences in hair shaft diameter and density between thinning and denser areas on the scalp. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community Can the ingredients in a sebum-regulating shampoo induce hair diameter reduction?
A user experienced hair thinning and scalp issues after using a sebum-regulating shampoo and perm treatments. They are advised to consider potential allergies, try a simple shampoo, and research treatments like finasteride for possible male pattern baldness.
community "When comparing 5% minoxidil with 0.60 mm or 1.20 mm needle lengths, Faghihi et al. found that 0.60 mm needle lengths led to significant hair count and diameter increases versus 5% minoxidil, whereas 1.20 mm needle lengths only saw hair count increases versus 5% minoxidil"
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
community Anyone with high glucose, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or diabetes notice any regrowth after starting treatment?
A 21-year-old male with advanced hair loss (NW7) started using finasteride and minoxidil 10 months ago but hasn't seen much progress. He is pre-diabetic with stage 1 hypertension and is seeking insights on whether treating these conditions could improve hair regrowth.
community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).
Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

9 / 801 results- Can a diabetic patient undergo a hair transplant? Diabetic patients can have hair transplants if their condition is well-controlled.
- Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
- Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men, 9 months, double-blind and placebo-controlled) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.
- Do hair fibers really make thinning hair look fuller, or is it just an illusion? Hair fibers create an optical illusion of fullness but do not actually thicken hair.
- How do you apply hair fibers correctly so they stay in place all day? Apply hair fibers to clean, dry hair and use a setting spray for better hold.
