Frequent hair loss and receding hairline? Understand hair loss types and key points for early assessment in one article.

Many people find themselves losing clumps of hair when washing or combing their hair, only starting to pay attention when their hairline recedes and the top of their head becomes noticeably thinner. Normally, people lose 50-100 hairs per day due to physiological factors. If this number consistently exceeds this, it's important to be wary of pathological hair loss.

There are many types of hair loss, the most common being androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, which is related to genetics and androgen levels. Next is alopecia areata, characterized by sudden, circular patches of hair loss on the scalp. There is also telogen effluvium caused by postpartum hair loss, lack of sleep, or high stress. The intervention approaches for different types of hair loss are completely different.
Many people buy hair growth products on their own and blindly try to maintain their hair, which not only wastes money but also causes them to miss the golden period for hair follicle protection. Once hair follicles are completely dead, it is very difficult for them to recover.

To improve hair loss, the first step is not to use medication directly, but to undergo professional hair follicle testing. By observing the activity of hair follicles and the state of scalp oil, the stage of hair loss can be determined, allowing for the development of a suitable care plan.
