    GlossaryHair Thickness Variation

    differences in individual hair strand diameters

    Hair Thickness Variation refers to the differences in the diameter of individual hair strands among different people or even within different areas of the same person's scalp. This variation can be influenced by genetic factors, age, hormonal changes, and environmental conditions. For example, someone might have finer hair on the sides of their head and thicker hair on the top. Understanding these variations is important for professionals in fields like dermatology and cosmetology when diagnosing hair health or recommending treatments.
