Keep reading to learn five early signs of hair loss to watch for.

Thinner Ponytail or Hair Volume

If your ponytail feels thinner or your overall hair volume seems less, it’s a clear sign of hair thinning. This gradual loss of density can be hard to spot at first, but paying attention to how your hair feels can reveal early signs of a problem.

Excess Hair in Your Brush

Some shedding is normal, but you shouldn’t regularly see large clumps of hair in your brush. If your brush suddenly has a thick mat of hair despite cleaning it out regularly, it could mean your hair is falling out faster than it’s regrowing.

Hair in the Shower Drain

Finding more hair in the shower drain can be a red flag. As with hair in your brush, it’s normal to see a small amount of shedding in the shower drain. But if you notice more and more strands of hair lingering in the drain after every shampoo, your hair may be thinning at the roots.

Widening Part

If your part looks wider than it used to, this can point to hair thinning along the top of your scalp. A widening part often goes unnoticed until it becomes significant, so catching it early is crucial.

Seeing More Scalp

Increased scalp visibility, especially at the crown or temples, is a key sign of hair loss. This can happen gradually, making it one of the harder signs to spot. Sometimes, this type of change is easiest to see in bright light.
