Early Signs That Indicates You Are Going Bald

It goes without saying that we all love our hair. And we want to have strong, long, and luscious hairs that have an amazing volume to them. But what if you start experiencing hair loss or if you are suffering from excessive hair fall? It is easy to imagine that you would be worried about that situation and would want to remedy that situation as soon as possible. This is why you must take some serious steps to remedy this situation. We at ALCS Clinic understand that and this is why we provide all individuals with hair treatments that are aimed at getting rid of various hair loss signs and symptoms.

According to various reports and studies, on average, most people who suffer from excessive hair loss start experiencing various signs at the mere age of 20! There can be many reasons why one might suffer from different signs of hair loss at such a young age including a genetic or family history of balding. And the best way to combat those early signs of balding is to identify those signs early and get the right kind of treatment for them as soon as possible. This is why we have created a list of baldness signs that one can look for to make sure that he or she is not suffering from hair loss. The list is mentioned below.

  • Performing a Check on Your Towel and Pillow

One of the most obvious signs of hair loss can be seen when you look at your pillow or towel in the morning. If there are hair strands present on your pillow after you wake up or if there are hair strands on your towel after your towel dry your hair then, that is a big sign that you are experiencing hair loss.

However, it is also important for you to remember that it is natural for people to lose around 50-100 strands of hair in a single day. So, if you see a strand or two of hair then that should not be a cause for concern. But if there are more then you should seek the help of a medical professional.

  • Do You Have an Itchy and Flaky Scalp?

There is also a check that an individual can perform to check if he or she is experiencing any baldness signs. To perform this check, all you have to do is to get your fingers on your scalp and try to gently scratch. If there is a thin layer or residual of some sort that is present on your fingers then it could signal some hair fall trouble.

Further, if you have a scalp that constantly feels itchy then you should consider consulting a professional hair doctor. It is vital for you to remember that even though these signs are not directly related to balding but these signs can cause damage to your scalp in the long run which is not good for you.

  • What About Your Temple Hairs?

Temple basically refers to both sides of the forehead of an individual. This is the place where the first baldness signs start showing up. To check for this sign, simply go in front of a mirror and take a closer look at the area of your temple. Try to compare the density and volume of hair on your temples on both sides.

Further, compare both the temple area to the hair present on the side of your head. Is there a difference in the density of hair? If the answer is yes and the hairs present on the temple of your hair are thinner then, this is a sign of balding.

  • Check the Top of Your Head

To check if you are suffering from hair fall issues or not, try to analyze the hairs that are present on the top of your scalp. If the hairs on the top of your scalp are visible or if they are thinning then it means that you are suffering from one of the early signs of balding.

  • Are there Thin Hairs?

As one age, it is common for that individual to experience some difficulty in making hairstyles that were made with ease when one was young. This is because of the fact that hairs tend to become thinner with age. If this happens at a younger age then, this could be considered as one of the signs your going bald.

  • Looking for the M Shape

If you look in the mirror and see an M shape on your forehead then this is a sign that you could become bald in the future. This particular sign is also visible in people who might be younger than 20 years of age.

  • Look After the Haircut

It is common for hairs to grow half an inch every month. And if an individual is unable to do that then, it can be considered as an early sign of going bald.

  • The Sudden Hair Loss

If you are observing more than the normal amount of hairs in your shower or other parts of your house then it means that you are suffering from excessive hair loss.

If you are experiencing any of these signs then, it would be best for you to consult the best hair experts. We at ALCS Clinic have some of the best hair experts in the world who provide excellent quality hair treatments for all individuals.
