, M.D. "The active phase of hair growth, known as anagen, tends to become shorter with age, which means that hairs don't grow as long and fall out more rapidly."
As you age, the cells in your hair that produce its pigment also begin to slow, which is part of the reason why you start graying. "There's some data to suggest that this has to do with free-radical damage in the hair follicle," he adds. Your hair also tends to get drier as a result of decreased oil gland activity on your scalp that also comes with getting older.
Before you reach for any product, Dr. Zeichner suggests speaking to your dermatologist first. "It's important to distinguish normal age-related health changes with those caused by underlying health issues," he explains. "If you are experiencing any, it's important to visit your dermatologist for evaluation. Your derm may take some bloodwork to test you for anemia, thyroid issues, or vitamin deficiencies.
Once you've confirmed that your hair changes are just a normal process of getting older and wiser, there are a few brands hoping to be your new go-to product. Hair-care offerings like Pantene's launching, a CVS-exclusive range, is aimed at addressing the hair-care needs of two age groups: 20 to 35 and 35-plus.
If you're looking to bring in the big guns to battle hair thinning, Dr. Zeichner says to look for products that contain minoxidil. "Topicals like minoxidil are actually FDA approved to treat thinning hair," he explains. "The mechanism is unclear but it is thought to help increase the damage in the growth phase of the hair follicle itself and enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the follicle.
