My hair is getting thin?

I am 38 as well and my hair is also thinning. I have asked numerous doctors about this because I have always had thick hair and it is definitely bothering me. So the answer to your ( and my) question is yes at our age it is common for hair to start to thin. We are starting to have a shift in hormones and among other fun changes thinning hair is one of them. You can assist your body a bit by taking vitamins that are high in biotin and zinc but it will only help so much. I also suggest trying acupuncture to help balance out your hormones as they start to change.

However....hair thinning can also be a sign of disorders including thyroid problems and I would definitely recommend seeing your doctor to get your thyroid checked.

I am trying to look on the bright side by thinking about things like the fact that my hair now dries more quickly and I can wear hair accessories my hair was once to thick for. But it is a bummer isn't it?

It's normal when you age to loose a little hair if your a woman. It's not normal if it comes out in clumps.

You do seem pretty young to have a substantial difference in the texture of your hair. Most womens hair doesn't thin out until after the change.

I recommend going to the dr. to have some hormons and insulin checked.

A rise in testosterone is the reason people start to lose hair.

I had the same problem, turned out I had pcos, which caused a spike in my testosterone.
