Turns out, this “widening part” is one of the earliest signs of hair thinning—and it’s something many people overlook.
Why Does This Happen?
When your hair starts thinning, the growth cycle of your strands goes haywire. Follicles shrink, strands become weaker, and hair doesn’t grow back as thick as it used to. The result? A wider part that shows more of your scalp. At first, it might be barely noticeable. But as time passes, it gets harder to ignore—and harder to fix.
The worst part? By the time your part is noticeably wider, your hair has been thinning for months, maybe even longer. And when I finally noticed it, I realized I was already well into the hair loss game—and I hadn’t even seen it coming.
