Your hair is shedding, your ponytail is looking suspiciously skinny, and suddenly every hair in the shower drain feels personal. š„²
Before you spend $200 on a serum that promises to turn you into Rapunzel, letās do a little detective work. š
š¤ Check the timeline. Did the shedding start a few months after weight loss, illness, or another big change?
š¤ Look at the pattern. Are you shedding more hair everywhere, or is your part gradually getting wider? These can point to different types of hair loss.
š¤ Take monthly photos. Same lighting, same part. Because staring at your scalp in the bathroom mirror 14 times a day is not a reliable tracking method.
š¤ Get assessed before buying treatments. Hair loss has different causes, and what works for one type may do very little for another.
And please remember, hair regrowth takes time. Even after youāve addressed the cause, it can take months to see improvement.
Your hair operates on its own schedule, and apparently nobody gave it a deadline.
Iāve created a FREE Hormone-Related Hair Loss Guide to help you understand what might be happening, which investigations to discuss with your provider, and where to start.
