With 85% of men<\/a> and 50% of women blighted by hair loss or thinning by the age of 50<\/a>, a slowdown in hair growth goes hand-in-hand with aging.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While several factors (such as genetics, menopause, stress, medication, thyroid issues and nutrient deficiencies) put some people more at risk of hair loss than others, the aging process itself is responsible for many hair health changes as Livestrong<\/a> details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost people experience some hair loss during the aging process. Hair thinning can also occur along with changes in hair texture or colour\u2026 As we get older, the number of hair follicles in their growth phase decreases, causing your mane to become less dense. Individual hair strands also start to shrink in diameter, creating the appearance of thinner hair. These changes are normal and can affect anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the cause of your hair loss or thinning, wearing a wig can give you the coverage and confidence boost<\/a> to enjoy your everyday life. Here we share our dos and don\u2019ts for older people looking to embrace the joys of wig wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While wearing a wig will ensure discretion, maintaining an open dialogue with those closest to you is important. Discuss your hair loss issues and how they are affecting you with your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d prefer to talk to someone impartial, therapy and counselling are others option that are well worth exploring. There are also support groups (both in-person and online) that can be accessed for those struggling with hair loss or thinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The underlying cause of your hair loss or thinning should always be investigated, whether your hair loss issues are associated with age or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
