Hair thinning is a tricky thing to deal with. It is quite a difficult experience for a man and a woman alike. Hair fall has a far-reaching effect on one's self-esteem in more than one way. It sneaks into social life in the form of identity crisis, social withdrawals and even in some cases anxiety and panic attacks.
Hair thinning is a slow and steady process over time. That means, if you see increased breakage or hair fall, it's better to go for treatment before it's too late. The saying, “prevention is better than cure,” is apt in this instance.
