How Long Does It Take for Hair To Grow Back After Thinning?

Hair growth after thinning can be expected to take about three to six months for most individuals, although the exact time period can vary depending on the individual and the specific cause of the hair thinning. A common type of temporary hair loss called telogen effluvium, which can be caused by stressors or body changes, typically resolves within three to six months without treatment. Other factors influencing hair growth include genetics, changes in hormones, stress, certain medical conditions, and proper nutrition. Keep in mind, however, that if the cause is hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), the hair may not grow back without intervention.
