Hair loss symptoms are an important indication to determine which kind of hair loss a person is suffering from and whether the hair loss problem is temporary or permanent.  The cause of hair loss is also an important factor behind the symptoms of hair loss.

One of the most common hair loss symptoms visible in women is the loss of the thickness of their hair.  They are usually found complaining that their hairs are no longer as thick as they once were.  There can be various reasons behind their thinning of hair which include hereditary reasons, age related factors, poor diet, stress, side effects of medications and so on. The first step towards solving your problem of thinning hair is to identify the reason behind it.  Consulting a hair expert will go a long way toward solving your problem.

Other common hair loss symptoms that people notice are the loss of a lot of hair while combing or washing hair.  Or, lots of hairs may be seen on clothes.  There is a certain amount of normal hair loss but if clumps of hair start falling out it is a cause for concern and a person needs to contact a professional as soon as possible.  Both cases of thinning hair or hair loss while combing are usually signs of temporary loss which can be treated if one acts in a timely fashion.

Permanent hair loss symptoms include problems like androgenetic alopecia and scarring  alopecia.  In the case of androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, the initial symptoms of hair loss are the loss of hair at the temples and the top of the head..  This kind of hair loss is generally caused due to genetic reasons and could result in partial baldness or even complete baldness.  Androgenetic alopeica in females is also caused by the same reasons but unlike in men, women rarely face the problem of complete baldness.  Usually for women, its the thinning of the hair at the crown, front and sides of the hairline.  They rarely lose hair at the front hairline.

Another hair loss problem which can cause permanent hair loss is called Cicatricial alopecia.  Symptoms are usually patchy hair loss along with itching,  and scars on some parts of the hair.  In the case of permanent hair loss, there is not much a person can do.  doctors usually advise various types of hair transplants as the only way to solve this problem.  If you are looking for a non-invasive solution to the problem, contact us at Fantasia Salon, we can help you identify a solution that will work for you.
