hair thinning
Scalp becoming visible
Hair thinning is the gradual reduction in hair density or volume, where individual strands become finer or fall out without full replacement.
Unlike complete baldness, thinning leaves hair present but visibly sparse: She noticed hair thinning at her temples.
The term appears in discussions of aging, genetics, stress, and products claiming to reverse the process.
