5 Early Signs Of Hair Loss In Men

This is a line of conversation that people hardly want to take. You don't want to ask yourself the question, "am I going bald?"

As sad as it may sound, hair loss is a reality. It is a phase of life that almost every man must experience. The earlier you begin to tackle it, however, will determine how easy the task gets for you. Findings have found it is more difficult trying to grow new hair than keeping the hair you have already.

Here, we discuss some early signs of hair loss, focusing on how you can detect them so that you can make informed decisions on what steps to take next.

Your Hair Begins To Fall Out

Typically, every man will lose between 50 to 120 hairs per day. It is a difficult task to begin to count every strand of hair that you lose, but an increase in the amounts of hairs that are left on your pillow, hair combs, or that fall when you shampoo is easily noticeable and are often part of the early indicators of Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). At this stage, the hair begins to fall off with little pressure and usually do not regrow. When you start to notice more hair strands on your comb or hairbrush, then it is time to take action and see your doctor for a quick medical treatment.

Noticeable Thinning Of Your Hair

Although hair loss will often start with different people from their hairline, it can be a separate process in other people. This process is commonly called diffuse thinning. This type of hair loss may either begin by affecting specific areas like the crown, or by altering the entire scalp. When it happens, it causes baldness that starts from the back, instead of the usual hairline. Spotting diffuse thinning can be difficult to detect at its early stage, but as it begins to get more complicated, you'll start to notice significant thinning of hair and eventual loss. The easiest way to spot this situation is comparing different photos of the hair from different periods.

Itchy, Flaky Scalp

This is the earliest sign of hair loss and can happen in different ways, depending on the individual's body type. Although itching, hair can be symptoms of many other hair diseases, it's mostly associated with hair loss, especially in people that are above 30 years of ager. Itchy or flaky hair is not the direct cause of hair loss from the conditions themselves, but what your reaction is to it. Continuous and excessive rubbing and scratching of your hair, scalp to soothe itching can cause irreparable damage to your hair follicles over time. Many remedies to this may exist, but your best action plan is to see a doctor if you don't want to scratch away your hair.

Receding Hairline

This is one of the most popular indicators of the early stage of MPB (Male Pattern Baldness). A receding hairline is likely to begin to develop in men as they advance in age. It can start at any time after the end of puberty and would often start to gain full manifestation by the time many men cross into their late 30s.

The process usually begins above the temples and moves from there back across the top of the head. As the process begins to advance, the back and sides of the hair begin to grow bare, although many men will be left with tiny hairs until they choose to shave it all off.

Genetics

You may want to look at your family to define what your hair will look like in the coming years. If your family tree can be traced to several bald relatives, then there's a huge possibility that you too will experience same example of hair loss. The pattern that baldness takes in your family is an excellent cue to know what your hair may look like in the future.

Conclusion

Whether there is a cure for your hair loss situation or not, you don't have to wait until it is too late before you look into discovering the best ways to take proper care of your hair. You can start off by gathering significant facts and taking adequate measure to prevent or minimize future hair damages completely.

The first step to take if you must get ahead of your hair loss situation is to consciously study your hair's health and understand what works for you.
