17. A Hair Loss Test :: Posted Thursday, May 24, 2001 by admin ::
To determine if you are losing hair at an excessive rate, count your shed hairs. Each morning hairs from your pillow, bed linens, your shower drain, and from your hair brush or comb. Also, collect hair from your clothing.
Count the hairs and put them into an envelope, marking the day and the number of hairs on the envelope. Use a new envelope every day. Do this for a two weeks. A dermatologist can evaluate the quantity of lost hairs, and can determine whether the hairs are being shed, pulled out, or are breaking along the hair shaft.
When a hair regrowth plan is started, you then have a reference base to determine the plan's success.
