For the majority of us, hair thinning (and loss) is an inevitability. When we’re younger, male pattern baldness is less prevalent. But by the time men reach middle-age, more than half of men are experiencing some level of baldness.
A high percentage of women experience noticeable hair loss over time as well – approximately 40% by age 50. The leading cause of hair loss for people as we get older is male or female pattern baldness… but other factors do play a role.
Our environment, diet, stress levels, and more can have an impact on our overall hair health. While some of those factors can be mitigated, other factors involved – like our genetics – are out of our control. So how does ethnicity impact how prone we are to hair loss?
