A few stray hairs circling the drain every time you shower aren’t that big of a deal – or are they? While we all lose a few random hairs from time to time, the signs of true hair loss are different. Spotting the signs of early hair loss can help you understand what is going on and take action right away. While individuals will vary, these tips can help you understand what’s going on with your hair

Signs of True Hair Loss

Thinning hair on the crown or top of the head: If you can suddenly see through your hair to your scalp or notice that your hairline seems to be retreating, you may be experiencing typical hair loss. Men often begin losing hair from the top of the head or hairline, so signs of thinning in these areas could indicate a problem.

Your hairline is gradually moving back: If you notice that the place where your hair starts, or your hairline, has begun to retreat, you are likely spotting the signs of early Androgenic Alopecia, or Male Pattern Baldness. The hair will recede from your initial hairline, often in an “M” shape; this retreat is one of the signs of true hair loss in men or women.

Location matters: The actual place that you are seeing the most loss matters. If you are seeing a regular, allover thinning of hair on the back, sides and top of your head and even on your body, another issue may be causing your hair loss. If your losses are restricted to the top of your head and hairline, balding is likely to blame.

What to do Next

If you have spotted the signs of premature balding or male pattern baldness, fast action is a must. Not only will prompt attention to your hair halt the progress, you’ll find that it is less stressful and more effective to start addressing the hair loss without delay.

If you are concerned about a drastic change in your appearance, then quick action can prevent the hair loss from progressing and restore your natural, youthful appearance.
