How does hair get thinner?

An often misunderstood concept is that hairs from balding scalps are NOT lost in one instance thereafter never to be replaced. In actual fact, hairs go through a growth cycle as illustrated below. In a balding or thinning scalp these processes still continue, even in affected areas, but the new hair is progressively thinner and thinner and thinner until it is colourless vellus hair (peach fuzz).

There are 3 stages of the hair growth cycle. Notice how the Anagen phase is by far the longest stage of the cycle where the active growth takes place. The longer the Anagen phase, the thicker and longer the hair will become.

It is universally agreed that men and women with male/female pattern baldness have increased levels of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp. DHT contributes to a shortening of the growth phase and a thinning of the hair. See in the diagram below how the hairs become thinner, smaller and gradually miniturized as time in the prescence of DHT is prolonged.
