Dr. Romanth Waghmarae answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Thinning: There are many factors, familial, poor scalp, low hormones, bad hair structure, poor roots, etc...First get examined to determine what the cause is. If its familial then you cannot do much. If your parents and grandparents were bald or balding then you have a stronger chance of this yourself.
