Does Hair Miniaturize Even Without MPB?

Hi.

If you are losing hair for a reason that isnt MPB will you still have miniturisation?

i.e does miniturisation in the front mean that it is MPB, or could it still be to do with thyroid, low immune system etc?

Thanks

Miniaturization of the hair may occur in many conditions where hair is thinning such a thyroid disease, malnutrition, and even old age (as the hair character does change in some older people). It means that the hair ‘generating machinery’ is shutting or slowing down (e.g. age the growth cycle may slow down and shorten). We actually see the effects of miniaturization as the hair is more ‘see-through’ and that is what most people call hair thinning.
