How Can You Tell If Your Hair Is Thinning?

Lots of women and men are becoming increasingly worried about hair loss and hair thinning. It is a process to be expected as we age but when it happens prematurely the effects can be devastating. There are many causes of hair loss in both women and men and sometimes hair loss can be a combination of factors. But how are you to know if the amount of hair you are loosing is normal or abnormal? It may be that you are worried because you think you are starting to loose your hair a little or maybe you already have a patch of hair loss but is it serious enough to be considered abnormal?

It is natural that as our hair goes through its normal growth cycle it will eventually shed and these shed hairs often remain on our head until they are removed through showering or brushing. This is why it can be hard to know whether your hair loss is shedding faster than normal or whether you are worrying about nothing. However, you can try the ‘Tug Test’ to help determine if your hair is thinning. To do this you will need to use your thumb and index finger to grip 15 and 20 strands of hair and by applying gradual pressure pull slowly and firmly. If you are able to pull out more than 6 hairs then it is thought that you can assume that your hair is thinning. 

You should also be on the look out for bald patches of thinning especially at your parting. If your hair is thinning then the chances are your parting will look wider are more defined. In men the first sign of hair thinning or male pattern baldness is a receding hairline. If you are experiencing a thinning around the forehead and the temples and you are worried about it you should seek medical advice straightaway. For women, the first sign of hair loss is a general thinning out of the hair, especially on the top of the head. 

If you are concerned that your hair is thinning then you should pay attention to the number of hairs you are loosing on a daily basis. You can do this by checking the amount of hairs that are on your hairbrush after brushing a keeping a watch on the amount of hair lost when washing your hair. If you can learn to spot the signs of thinning hair early on then it may increase your chances of being effectively treated.

However, another important thing to remember about hair loss is that it is primarily caused by heredity. Some of us are just more genetically predisposed to hair loss than others. In cases of hereditary pattern baldness, there sometimes is very little that can be done. Therefore it may be a good time to consider hair replacement. This does not mean that you will have to wear a synthetic looking wig that will hold you back in your everyday life; hair replacement has moved on a lot nowadays. In previous years it was acceptable for a woman to wear a wig but nowadays these old fashioned wigs do not stand up to the demands of modern living.
