How to tell if you have hair loss?

According to my dermatologist, normal daily shedding is around 50 to 100 strands. If you notice your ponytail feeling significantly thinner or can see your scalp clearly under normal light, that points to active hair thinning or alopecia. It is crucial to check your iron, Vitamin D, and thyroid levels first.

In our family, we always apply homemade amla and hibiscus oil to strengthen the roots. However, if you are noticing visible bald spots or a receding hairline, oils alone might not work. It is best to consult a skin doctor to find out if it is hormonal or nutritional.

Haan na, seeing hair all over the bathroom floor is so stressful! If your hair volume has suddenly gone down and you can see your scalp when you tie a bun, then it is real hair loss, ho na. Just get a doctor's advice once before buying expensive anti-hairfall shampoos.

If you see your hairline moving back or find chunks of hair on your comb daily, it's definitely hair loss. Get it checked.

In our times, a healthy diet and washing hair with reetha and shikakai kept our hair strong. If you are experiencing mild thinning, try to reduce your stress and eat a handful of soaked almonds daily. But if the hair fall is very heavy, then you must seek proper medical advice from a doctor.

Hey, don't stress too much! Sometimes our hair sheds a lot during weather changes or if we change our water. But if you are actually seeing patches of baldness or your forehead is looking wider, just get a doctor to check it out so you don't keep worrying.

Distinguishing between temporary shedding and progressive hair loss can be tricky. If the shedding persists for more than a few months or is accompanied by scalp itching and redness, it requires professional diagnosis. A dermatologist can perform a pull test and evaluate your scalp health accurately.
