thinning hair

Sparse scalp coverage

Thinning hair is hair that has become less dense, either through individual strands becoming finer or through gradual loss of follicles.

The phrase typically describes the early or moderate stages of hair loss rather than outright baldness: He noticed his thinning hair in photographs.

Products for thinning hair promise to restore volume or slow further loss.
