Common Hair Changes That Happen As You Get Older + What To Do

As your hormones begin to change, you may start noticing thinner hair. “As estrogen fluctuates toward an overall trend of less, the counterpart hormones are increasing,” Schaffer says.

When these hormones increase, you may notice your strands feeling lighter. “The rise in androgens shrinks the hair shaft, [so] individual hair diameter shrinks,” she explains.

These androgens also stunt growth, so you may experience less volume and fewer baby hairs than you once had. These changes won’t happen overnight but may start to take around your mid-30s, Schaffer adds.

Hi there! My husband and I are on our path to parenthood, and after facing the challenges of infertility, I decided to become a fertility coach and concierge. Our journey has inspired me to support others who may be experiencing something similar. While we're still on this road ourselves, I wanted to share our story and be a source of encouragement for those navigating their own paths to parenthood. Let’s take this journey together!
