Am I losing hair? The guides
Start with the nine signs and the ten-minute check, then the guides for one zone or one worry at a time: hairline, temples, front, top, crown, balding at 20, cowlick or balding. Every guide ends with when to see a dermatologist.
New here? Read Am I Balding? 9 Signs and How to Check first. It covers the signs in men and women, the three things that look like balding but are not, and a ten-minute check you can do tonight. The rest of this section takes one zone or one worry at a time.
Try it
The mature or receding check asks the seven questions that separate a normal mature hairline from early recession, and the shedding calculator handles the "how much hair in the shower is normal" half of the question.
Heads up
Smooth round patches, a red, scaly or painful scalp, hair coming out in handfuls, or loss of eyebrows or body hair are not pattern hair loss. See a dermatologist this week for any of those.
