Can certain degree of hair miniaturization present in a normal non balding person?

July 22, 2016
Asked By:frenzy2007 in Toronto, ON

I read in some online sources that a normal non balding person can typically expect roughly 10 - 20% of their hair to miniaturize, not sure if this is true or not? Also is it possible for some people to have just naturally thin hair or naturally decreasing hair density as they age (but no apparent balding)? Or is this simply a sign that the balding process is very slow? Thanks very much.
