| hormone levels | Abnormal thyroid function | Most female patients | High (recovery after treatment) |
| nutritional deficiencies | Iron/zinc/protein deficiency | Vegetarians 39% | Very high (dietary modification) |
| scalp environment | seborrheic dermatitis | People with oily scalp | High (Medical Nursing) |
3. Three major ways to improve natural hair loss
1. Medical intervention plan:Recent hot searches show that the discussion of 5% minoxidil solution has increased by 210%, but it should be noted that it may cause side effects such as scalp itching. Search volume for new low-level laser therapy (LLLT) equipment increased by 47% month-on-month.
2. Daily maintenance skills:The three most popular shampoos under the Xiaohongshu #hair volume king tag: contain caffeine (German brand), ginger essence (domestic product) and scalp massage comb (imported from Japan). Douyin’s “Hair Dryer Temperature Test” video reveals that temperatures exceeding 60°C directly damage hair follicles.

4. Special reminder from experts
The deputy director of the Department of Dermatology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital recently pointed out in a live broadcast:"Hair volume is basically fixed after puberty, and products that claim to increase the number of hair follicles are pseudoscience."It is recommended to accurately assess the degree of hair loss by:
| Detection method | Operation mode | normal standard |
|---|---|---|
| pull test | Gently pull 50 hairs | <6 roots fell off |
| Trichoscopy | Professional instrument observation | Hair follicle survival rate>80% |
| Six items of hormones | Fasting blood test | Testosterone<2.6nmol/L |
5. Future Trend Outlook
The gene editing technology CRISPR has achieved hair follicle regeneration in animal experiments. The latest Japanese research shows that injection of fat stem cells can increase hair density in bald areas by 28%. Although these technologies are not yet commonplace, they bring new hope to those who are born with thin hair.
To sum up, the problem of thinning hair needs scientific understanding and rational treatment. Although genetic factors are difficult to change, through systematic maintenance and modern technology, most people can achieve significant improvements. remember“Hair is a barometer of health”, internal regulation and external nourishment are the fundamental way.
