Signs of Hair Loss (What to Look Out For & How to Detect it Early)

Few things are more stressful than looking in the mirror and watching your crown of glory — your beautiful hair — fade away. Even though this doesn’t occur overnight, you may not know you have an issue until it has progressed. That’s why knowing the signs of hair loss is critical.

A whopping 60% of women struggle with hair loss to some degree. So, if your hair is starting to wane, you’re not alone.

We’ve compiled a guide for detecting hair loss early on so that you can combat the problem sooner than later.

Let’s get started!

In these situations, once you are past the traumatic episode that triggered your hair loss, your lovely locks should be back to normal within several months.

Also, if a thyroid imbalance, medication, endocrine disorder or dietary deficiency is the culprit, you can expect your hair to return as soon as the underlying problem has been addressed.

Unfortunately, a chronic cause of hair loss is much more complicated to address.

An example of such a cause is a condition known as androgenetic alopecia. If you suffer from this genetic condition, you’ll notice progressively thinner shafts of hair growing in.

Alopecia can happen at any point after you have reached puberty. But it’s usually the most noticeable once you’ve hit menopause, due to the hormonal shifts your body goes through.

If you suffer from alopecia, you won’t experience complete regrowth. But you can experience some improvements with help from the right treatments.

Signs of Hair Loss Include Shedding

One of the most common signs of hair loss is if you are shedding more hair than normal.

Specifically, look at your head’s crown to see if the hair there looks sparser than usual. You may see a pattern in your hair that looks like a horseshoe and leaves your crown exposed.

On top of that, keep an eye out for your pillow when you wake up in the morning. Is hair accumulating there?

Or, do you see more hair being left behind in your comb and brush, or do you see hair clumps on the floor of your bathtub following a shower?

Maybe you see more hair lying around your living spaces.

These are tell-tale signs that you have a major hair-loss problem.

Thinning

Men who begin to lose their hair my quickly notice that their hairlines are receding.

But women don’t experience receding hairlines. And they usually won’t end up going bald like men do.

Therefore, instead, one of the biggest signs of hair loss in women is thinning hair all across your scalp.

A woman’s hair is usually longer than a man’s is, so detecting hair loss may be tricky for women.

But watching your hair tie can be helpful for determining if your hair is losing its thickness. For instance, when you tie your hair in a ponytail, are you now finding yourself having to make an additional loop to keep your hair secure?

Perhaps your hair is simply flatter than normal and this is no longer holding your favorite styles well.

If you’re facing these problems, you very well could be experiencing more hair loss than normal.

Parting

Parting is such sweet sorrow when you have a hair loss problem.

Many women with hair-loss issues have said that the parting of their hair was among the first signs of hair loss they noticed.

If your hair loss is above normal, you may notice a wider part. And unfortunately, there may not be any way of covering it up like there used to be.

Scalp Visibility

Another indicator of hair loss in women? A scalp that is more visible.

When you have pulled your hair back in a ponytail, do you see more of your scalp?

Or after being out in the sun for a while, do you find yourself suffering from scalp sunburn — something you had never experienced previously?

If the answer to these questions yes, you likely have a hair-loss problem worth addressing.

Family History

Your family’s history may also be a sign that hair loss is inevitable for you.

Look at your other female loved ones to see if they have experienced thinning hair.

After all, as we mentioned before, alopecia is genetic. So, if your grandmother or your mother has had problems with shedding, thinning hair, you like will, too.

Treatment Options

So, you realize your hair is going away.

It’s a big deal, as hair loss can quickly destroy your self-esteem and negatively impact your self-identity.

Fortunately, you can do something about it.

For starters, tablets are available that are designed to tackle temporary hair loss resulting from reversible telogen effluvium.
