Tips for Preventing and Treating Hair Thinning/Loss

Did you know by the age of 60, about 60-70 percent of men and about 50-60 percent of women will experience hair thinning? Even more startling, hair loss begins at age 35 for most women.

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month. It's time now to teach your clients about taking preventative and proactive measures against this issue. Though it can be a touchy subject, knowing the facts, causes and solutions for hair loss and hair thinning can help your client in the long run.

For treatment, lines like GrandeHair, Aveda and Redken all offer advanced treatments for thinning hair. More specifically, Bosley Professional Strength has a collection of products specifically targeted towards prevention and treating those that suffer from hair thinning or loss. See below for a few expert tips from Michelle Blaisure, Bosley Professional Strength Director of Education.

Tips: 

  • When hair starts to thin, it’s important to address it early as it is easier to keep it than to get it back.
  • Use products designed for scalp health and thinning hair that add thickness and volume so hair has a fuller look, and when used for prevention, slow the look of aging hair.
  • Shampoo frequently with a thinning hair cleanser, like Bosley Professional Strength BosRevive Nourishing Shampoo, which is designed to remove any build-up and debris from the scalp and hair.
  • For a quick cover up try natural keratin hair fibers like Bosley Professional Strength Hair Thickening Fibers, as they give instant density in the hairline and crown.
