Hair loss at any age can be both stressful and upsetting. Dealing with teenage hair loss can put additional pressure on what is already an emotional time of life. We have tried and tested results using Thymuskin Classic to reverse teenage hair loss and encourage regrowth.
Teenage Hair Loss
The majority of people will experience some degree of hair loss throughout their life. Most people begin noticing hair loss during adulthood. Less commonly, some people start losing their hair as teenagers. Potential causes of hair loss in teenagers include genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, diet, use of chemical hair products, medication, stress and anxiety.
Genetic Factors for teenage hair loss
Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic form of hair loss which is often referred to as male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. It occurs in a predictable pattern. In men it appears as a recession of the hairline in a U, V or M shape and a gradual balding of the crown. Women usually notice a gradual thinning along the parting in their hair, particularly if this is how the hair is worn daily. Teenage hair loss tends to happen when a parent has hair loss and balding - this is more common in teenage boys than girls.
Hormonal hair loss
Puberty causes fluctuations in hormone levels that can potentially affect hair growth. Pattern hair loss can start immediately after puberty and progress over time. Pattern hair loss is the most common cause of hair loss for both male and female teenagers.
Diet and hair loss
Malnutrition can be caused by poor diet and by not eating a nutrient rich combination of a range of well balanced foods. Inadequate diet, dietary imbalances, eating disorders and digestive problems can contribute towards hair loss.
Use of chemical hair products
Depending on the types of hair products and their ingredients, some can cause temporary hair loss. The chemicals in products that perm and dye your hair are harsh and can cause your hair to weaken, be damaged or fall out, especially if they are not being used correctly.

The impact of teenage hair loss
HairLossPal had just been launched when a friend and I engaged in a casual conversation on the school run. My friend is a mother of two teenage boys, she informed me that one of them was in a state of distress. This distress had been caused by hair loss at the tender age of 19. He had said to his mum "I'm too young for my hair to be falling out." Upon closer inspection my friend had confirmed that his hair was indeed thinning. The emotional distress caused by teenage hair loss cannot be overlooked.
In a paper featured in the American National Library of Medicine about the Psychology of hair loss in patients; "Some of the mild to severe symptoms of associated psychological problems with hair loss are: anxiety, anger, depression, embarrassment, decreased confidence, reduction in work and sexual performance, social withdrawal" Clearly all of these things will be a concern, particularly with a teenager.

Lewis started to use Thymuskin Classic Serum and Shampoo in November 2022 and by May 2023 - just 6 months later he had started to see real results. The physical improvement was visible. He confirmed that small baby hairs had started to regrow and come though making his hair much thicker. Just as important were the positive result on his mental wellbeing, confidence, happiness and general.
"Using Thymuskin has impacted me massively. I have become a lot more confident as a person and I am able to style my hair as I want it and not just to hide the fact I was going thin. I have recommended it to all of my friends and work colleagues. Even my girlfriend has said it has helped with the amount of hair that falls out. I can't speak about this product highly enough, it works wonders." Lewis, 19.
