Hair Loss Symptoms

Are you noticing more scalp shining through your hair? Do you see your hairline receding or are you seeing more than usual hair on your pillow or in the shower?

These symptoms are typically the first indications of hair loss for many of our patients—and tens of millions of men and women. You would be surprised to learn how much we hear patients say things like, “I woke up one day with less hair,” “It just happened unexpectedly,” or “I saw myself with hair loss in a picture or video and was startled!”

Patients may see a gradual yet progressive thinning or receding of the hairline in other cases. They want to assume that the hair loss isn’t major at first. And, almost “overnight,” the hair loss becomes too evident to ignore. The hair loss in these patients tends to appear very abrupt because it does not become visible until the hair density falls below a certain level. For other patients, it may have been a photograph, video, or a mirror that revealed the results of unnoticed progressive hair loss.

Understanding Your Hair Loss

Before we get into the different variations and causes of hair loss, it’s a good idea to refresh your memory about how hair develops. Each hair develops from the base of the hair follicle and appears at a tiny opening in the skin. The root of each hair is found within the follicle, where it receives nutrition from the body’s blood supply. 

The hair follicle which produces the hair is an incredibly tiny, yet complicated micro-organ in the skin. It is connected to our blood circulation and nerves as well as oil (sebaceous) glands. Each follicle is also connected to a small muscle that causes your hair to stand up on the back of your neck or your arm!  

Hair Growth Cycles

Every hair follicle goes through a three-stage cycle to grow hair, which repeats itself over time. Active development, also known as the anagen process, is the first stage of this cycle. The catagen process is a stage in between. The resting telogen process is the third step.

Each hair follicle goes through and repeats the cycle of hair growth on its own. And, at any given time, the majority of your hair is in the active increasing Anagen process, which lasts two to six years on average.

The active phase of hair growth lasts the longest, but the Catagen intermediate phase lasts the shortest, lasting two to three weeks.

Finally, during the Telogen process of the cycle, a new Anagen hair pushes out the hair that is already in the follicle. The period of this process is usually three to four months. When Telogen hairs fall out of your brush or comb, you’ll notice them.
