How to Measure Your Hair Loss

Doctors created a series of charts categorizing various stages of hair loss. The charts are very useful when describing your hair loss to someone or as a yard stick to measure your own hair loss progression or regrowth. The charts are only relevant to Male and Female Pattern hair loss since the hair loss occurs in a predictable pattern.

Here is the most effective way to measure your hair loss!

The most commonly used chart for men is the one developed by Dr Hamilton and then later modified by Dr. o'Tar Norwood called the Norwood-Hamilton scale.

Women who suffer from Androgenic Alopecia have a pattern of hair loss called Female Pattern Baldness. This loss does not occur in the same pattern as men but appears as a diffuse thinning throughout the scalp. There is a chart designed to classify Female Pattern loss called the Ludwig Scale. There are however always exceptions and in some cases men may suffer from a diffuse type thinning and women may experience a similar hair loss pattern to men.

 

There you go, check these chart out for both men and women and measure your hair loss now.

3 Easy Tips to Prevent Hair Loss

Here are 3 Tips to prevent hair loss caused by stress and poor blood circulation.
 .
Lay Down with Your Feet Up - for poor blood circulation


Lying down on your back with your feet propped up against a wall for about 20 minutes is a good way to get blood flowing to the scalp. Your feet should start to fall asleep while you do this and you should feel more relaxed after it is done.


Massage Your Scalp - for stress

Massaging the scalp is a great way to relieve stress and stimulate blood flow. Massage your scalp with the tip of your fingers (not your fingernails). Make sure that you are moving the hair line back and forth when you are massaging the scalp and don’t do it for longer than 5 minutes. Also don’t use your palms because you could potentially damage your hair by massaging roughly.

Proper and Deep Breathing - for stress

Deep breathing could also help you deal with stress. Breath deeply in at a count of 1-4-2. If you breath in for 4 seconds you must hold it for 16 then breath out for 8 seconds. If you breath in at 8 seconds then you must hold it for 32 seconds and breath out for 16 seconds.
