Most men and women are going to go through hair loss issues at some point in their lives. 

When you take the necessary measures, you may succeed in slowing down the rate of hair loss and buy yourself more time. In some cases, you can even stop the baldness process completely if you know what is causing it. 

That is why it is important to be aware of the symptoms before they get severe. Because, no matter which treatment solution you want to choose, it is easier to take the necessary measures when the hair loss is still not dramatic. This will allow the treatment to be more efficient whether you choose a hair transplant operation or you are just trying hair care products.

10 signs that show if you are going bald

• Receding hairline

 If you are in the early stages of male pattern baldness, the recession of the hairlines will be one of the biggest indicators. Hairline recession will start in the top frontal areas of your head and then gradually make its way towards the back of your head. 

• More hair on the shower floor and on your pillow

Use white pillow sheets to see the number of hair strands on the pillow when you wake up in the morning. You can also check the shower floor after you take your shower.

• Feeling itchy on your scalp

This is not an indicator of male pattern baldness. But if your scalp feels itchy and you see flakes quite often, you may have skin problems that cause hair loss.

• Visible scalp

Sometimes when you look in the mirror, you may be able to see your scalp through your hair. And people around you may notice that before you and tell you about it. This is another sign of hair loss.

• Hair getting curly

If your hair was naturally straight and it is getting curly or wavy in some parts, this is another symptom of hair loss. Thinning hair strands causes this by making the hair strands too thin to stand straight.

• Thinner hair strands

When you shape your hair or just touch it, if you feel like they are thinner than before, it means your hair is losing its strength. This will eventually lead to baldness.

• Looking older

Sometimes you do not pay close attention to your hair. But when you look at the mirror and see that you are looking more aged than you are, it may be due to hair loss. 

• Other bald people in your family

Male pattern baldness is hereditary. You inherit the genes from your family. So, if you see a lot of people with baldness problems in your family, you may be at risk too.

• Needing fewer haircuts

If you used to go to your barber more often and now you go less, it can be another indicator of hair loss. Because it means that your hair is growing slower than before.

•  None of the listed reasons

If you do not have any of the symptoms above and you are losing hair in an extraordinary way, then you should probably consult a doctor.
