While it’s normal to lose between 50 to 100 hairs each day, if you notice more than this, then you may want to take action.2
The main symptoms to look out for are:3
Loose hair – This is the most obvious symptom of hair loss; you may be finding more hair falling out than usual on your pillow or hairbrush.
Widening part – Whether your signature style is a middle or side part, if you’re starting to notice your parting getting wider, then this can be a sign of hair thinning.
Receding hairline– Otherwise known as pattern baldness, this is a common symptom that is responsible for 95% of hair loss in men.1
Bald patches – Check your hair for bald patches of all sizes. Keep an eye on any changes in your scalp so you can notice if any patches become larger.
Clogged drains – If your shower or bath drain is getting more clogged with hair than you’re used to then this could be a sign of excessive hair loss.
Being proactive with your hair care is key to preventing hair loss and maintaining gorgeous locs. Maintaining a nourishing diet, using products tailored to your needs and being gentle to your hair and scalp are key to hair loss prevention and healthy, vibrant locks.
If you’re still noticing persistent hair loss, make sure to consult a doctor or dermatologist.
