hair loss; can affect individuals differently, and understanding the early signs and symptoms may help you identify changes in your hair health. While it is normal to shed some hair daily, certain patterns and symptoms may indicate the need to seek further advice from a qualified professional.

Common Signs You May Be Experiencing Hair Loss

  • 1. Increased Hair Shedding

    Noticing more hair on your pillow, in the shower drain, or on your hairbrush may suggest an increase in daily shedding. While up to 100 strands per day can be normal, sudden or excessive shedding could be worth monitoring.

  • 2. Gradual Thinning on Scalp

    One of the most common signs is gradual thinning, especially around the crown or parting line. This may be more noticeable when styling your hair or in certain lighting conditions.

  • 3. Receding Hairline

    A receding hairline, particularly in men, often presents as a slow retreat from the temples or forehead. This may be a subtle change over time and can be more noticeable in photos.

  • 4. Widening Part Line

    For women, one early symptom may include a widening of the part in the hair, especially near the top of the head. This may become more apparent when styling or parting the hair in different ways.

  • 5. Visible Scalp or Bald Patches

    Small patches of visible scalp or circular bald spots may appear. These can develop suddenly or gradually and might be accompanied by itchiness or irritation in some cases.

  • 6. Hair Breakage or Short, Weak Strands

    Hair that breaks easily or appears thin and wispy at the ends may be a sign of damage or early-stage hair thinning. This can be more noticeable when brushing or during heat styling.

  • 7. Changes in Hair Texture or Volume

    A reduction in overall hair volume or a change in texture—such as hair becoming finer or more brittle—can be a subtle sign of hair loss that develops over time.
