    hair follicles shrink, producing thinner and shorter hair strands

    Hair Follicle Miniaturization is a process where hair follicles gradually shrink, producing thinner and shorter hair strands over time. This phenomenon is commonly associated with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and can eventually lead to the cessation of hair growth in the affected follicles.
