Parents who are balding
Hair loss due to genes is the most common form that most sufferers face. If you take a good look at your parents and they don’t have a full head of hair, the chances are higher that you may face the same scenario in the future.
Hair accumulated in specific areas
Hair tends to accumulate in certain areas. Your shoulders, pillows, shower drains, etc. Be more concerned when you notice an increase in the number of shed hairs.
M shape
Receding hairlines in males end up in the ‘M’ shape. If your partner is experiencing this, then just gently nudge him to do something about it.
Thinning all around
For females, they don’t experience the conditions as males. For hereditary hair loss, there is an all around thinning on the scalp.
Scalp being visible
Once you see this, your situation is serious. It would mean that you’ve lost a considerable amount of hair that parts of your scalp are showing. This is definitely a telltale sign that you should do something about it.
Hair falls easily
Hair is supposed to be strongly rooted to the scalp. When hair drops easily, it means that your hair is starting to thin and thus, easier to be pulled out.
Past pictures
What better way to look at your old self than to look at old pictures? Browse through your Facebook photos. Are there any huge differences in the way your hair looks?
