Thinning hair on the scalp may be caused by seborrheic alopecia, prolonged mental stress, or nutritional deficiencies. Genetic factors could also contribute. For progressively thinning hair, treatment options such as hair transplantation are available at reputable medical beauty institutions. Additionally, it's important to maintain a healthy daily routine in everyday life.
