Did you know hair loss can start at almost any age once you enter adulthood?
The primary cause of hair loss is
both male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness,
affecting almost 50% of adult males and 25% of adult women. The onset of baldness and thinning along the
hairline is determined by your genetics and hormones. Early signs of hair loss are
difficult to detect because hair loss is gradual. You
start losing it
even when it doesn't look like it. By the time most people notice thinning
areas and growing bald spots years have gone by and a significant amount of
hair has already been lost. Early detection is key to getting the best results
for hair restoration. Here are some early signs of hair loss and how you can slow
the process.
During a 1-month period you notice large clumps of hair on
your pillow, shower, or hairbrush
Our hair naturally grows and sheds in phases. A person
typically loses anywhere between 50-100 hairs per day so it’s not uncommon to
see some strands stuck in your brush or on the bathroom floor. However, if you
notice significant shedding on your pillow when you wake up or find large clumps
of hair in your hand when you shower or brush your hair it could be signs of
hair loss. Proper
scalp hygiene, exercise, and nutrition for your hair are crucial in slowing
the start of thinning. You can use DHT-blocking hair care products or
take oral medications that help stop further hair loss.
Noticeable change in your hairline or thinning of your
hair
Genetic and hormonal balding typically happens in
characteristic patterns. For men hair loss typically appears on the temples, along
the hairline, and the top of the scalp. Most women tend experience thinning, weak
hair and a widening part as signs of gradual permanent hair loss. If you notice
a growing m-shaped hair line or brittle, thinning hair you may want to consult
your doctor. Note that a widow’s peak or pointed hairline is genetic and not a
sign of hair loss. To accurately check for hair loss, it’s always best to
compare photos of your hair when it’s dry and un-styled. If you can compare two
photos taken years apart and see that your hairline has receded or your part
has grown noticeably wider, it’s a sign that you’re suffering from hair loss. Laser hair
therapy or hair
transplants are both viable treatment options for thinning hair. Plus, the
earlier you catch hair loss and begin these treatments the better your results.
