Aging scalp becomes thinner and loses much of its elasticity. The number of blood vessels in the dermis begins to fall. At the same time the hair often loses its color, and within the scalp there are fewer hair follicles. This leads to hair thinning and balding.
Scalp is the fastest aged skin compared to other parts of skin, which is 12 times faster than body skin and 6 times faster than
facial skin.
