This guide will help you determine whether your hairline is really at risk.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Hair Growth Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The hairs on our head (and the rest of our bodies) are constantly moving through a <a href=\"http:\/\/jcs.biologists.org\/content\/119\/3\/391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three-phase cycle<\/a>, in which our hair follicles sprout new hairs, rest, and then prepare to replace existing hairs with new ones.<\/p>\n<p>During the anagen phase, our hair follicles produce a hair shaft. Then, during the catagen and telogen phases, they reset and stop growth to prepare their stem cells to start the next hair.<\/p>\n<p>It takes any given hair <em>years<\/em> to move through the full cycle\u2014and different hair follicles pass through different phases at different times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally, 80 to 90 percent of our hair is growing while 10 to 20 percent is \u2018resting,\u2019\u201d explains Erum Ilyas, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.montgomery-dermatology.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Montgomery Dermatology<\/a> in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Normal Hair Shedding Looks Like<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Though we\u2019d all like to keep as many hairs on our heads as possible, our hair\u2019s natural cycle means it\u2019s completely normal to lose some strands every single day.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, according to The American Academy of Dermatology, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/skin-hair-nails\/hair-care\/hair-loss-vs-hair-shedding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most people lost between 50 to 100 hairs a day<\/a>. (This is known as \u2018shedding,\u2019)<\/p>\n<p>That may seem like a lot, but fear not. \u201cThis is a very small amount of hair compared to the vast number of hair follicles humans have on their scalp, which averages around 100,000,\u201d says Hal Weitzbuch, M.D., M.S., F.A.A.D., dermatologist and founder of hair line JuveTress.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Normal Shedding vS. Abnormal Hair Loss <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In normal hair shedding, new hair grows in as the old strands fall out, so you don\u2019t notice any thinning.<\/p>\n<p>However, true hair loss occurs when the normal hair growth-shedding cycle is disrupted or the hair follicle itself is destroyed, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/hair-loss\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20372926\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Common Causes Of Hair Loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Most often, abnormal hair loss stems from hormonal and autoimmune issues. \u201cHair follicles are highly sensitive to changes in signaling from estrogen, prolactin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/cortisol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cortisol<\/a>, and the thyroid hormones,\u201d Zembroski explains.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why extreme stress has been implicated in hair loss. \u201cElevated cortisol [a stress hormone] blocks thyroid hormones from influencing hair follicle activity,\u201d says Zembroski. This reduces hair growth, causing hair to become brittle and thin out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/thyroid-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Could You Have A Thyroid Issue?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hair loss is also common in women who have estrogen dominance (too-high levels of estrogen and too-low levels of progesterone). This imbalance again affects thyroid function, and thus hair follicle activity.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, women diagnosed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/pcos\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20353439\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)<\/a> often deal with hair loss related to excess testosterone.<\/p>\n<p>Autoimmune dysfunction can also affect hair in multiple ways. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/diseases\/hair-and-scalp-problems\/alopecia-areata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">alopecia areata<\/a>, which is marked by patchy hair loss, for example, \u201cimmune cells attack the rapidly growing cells in the hair follicles,\u201d Zembroski explains. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/hashimotos-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20351855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hashimoto\u2019s disease<\/a>, another autoimmune condition, though, the immune system spurs hair loss by attacking the thyroid.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>Hormone and immune issues aside, seasonal shifts can also impact our hair. During shorter, darker winter days, we produce higher levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/melatonin\/N-cp99m6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">melatonin<\/a> (the \u2018sleep hormone\u2019), which can cause hair to move from the growth phase to the resting phase\u2014and eventually into the shedding phase.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Signs Your Hair Loss Is Abnormal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Though it can be challenging to pinpoint whether you\u2019re experiencing typical hair shedding or irregular hair loss, there are a few signs to look out for.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Your Eyebrows Are Thinning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Believe it or not, issues with hair loss on your scalp can also affect your eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>According to functional medicine specialist, clinical nutritionist, and author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rebuild-Proven-Diagnosis-Recovery-Healthier\/dp\/0062699202\/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ANKZ01EYPTV9KD39F79T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>REBUILD<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Robert Zembroski, D.C., D.A.C.N.B., M.S., thinning of the lateral third of your eyebrows (the ends of your eyebrows, farthest from your nose), in particular, often signals true hair loss.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, hair loss may be associated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/thyroid-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thyroid issues<\/a>\u2014specifically hypothyroidism. \u201cIn hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland does not produce the amounts of thyroid hormones needed for normal physiological processes in the body, including healthy hair,\u201d explains Zembroski.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. The Part In Your Hair Looks Different<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe most common sign of abnormal hair loss in women is a widening part,\u201d says Weitzbuch.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look when combing or styling your hair. Can you see more of your scalp than usual? Does your part seem wider? If so, you may be dealing with hair loss related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2010\/03\/100306143329.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">imbalances in female sex hormones<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Your Hair Line Is Thinning Or Receding<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This pattern of hair loss, known as \u2018male pattern baldness,\u2019 is the most common type of hair loss men experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMen most often notice a receding hair line and a thinning spot on the top of the head,\u201d says Weitzbuch.<\/p>\n<p>While this type of hair loss can begin at any age, the likeliness of it setting in grows more likely as men get older. \u201cGenetics, hormones, environment, and health factors all play a role,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>Male pattern hair loss is also the type of hair loss many women with PCOS face.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Some Parts Of Your Hair Feel Thicker Than Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When autoimmune issues\u2014particularly alopecia areata\u2014are at play, hair tends to fall out in random but distinct clumps.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice small, disc-like spots where hair is incredibly thin\u2014or has fallen out completely\u2014consider it a possible sign of autoimmune trouble.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. You\u2019re Shedding A LOT<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While it <em>is<\/em> normal to notice shedding every day, losing more than 100 strands of hair per day is considered \u2018excessive shedding.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Look out for an unusually high number of hairs on your pillowcase, in your hairbrush, or atop the shower drain. Typically, this type of all-around excessive shedding is caused by stress\u2014and the <a href=\"http:\/\/jddonline.com\/articles\/dermatology\/S1545961616P1001X\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">elevated cortisol<\/a> levels that come along with it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. You Hair Feels Brittle And Thin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If your individual hairs feel brittle, dry, and thinner than usual, there may be more at play than just needing to deep condition more often.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, these hair changes may indicate thyroid issues, specifically hypothyroidism. \u201cLow levels of thyroid hormones can cause dry, brittle, coarse hair and reduced hair cell growth,\u201d explains Zembroski.<\/p>\n<p>Look out for dull, stringy strands\u2014and a ponytail that lacks its usual <em>oomph<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How To Revive Your Locks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing unexplained hair loss, make an appointment with your doctor. They’ll help you investigate whether a hormone- or immune-related condition might be messing with your mane.<\/p>\n<p>From there, your doctor will help you address the root cause of your hair woes and recommend a treatment for supporting healthy hair in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/supplements-healthy-hair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>The 6 Best Supplements For Healthy Hair<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, living a healthy lifestyle is also hugely important for overall healthy hair. Make sure you\u2019re getting your fill of nutrients like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein\/N-cp99j4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protein<\/a> (especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/collagen\/N-cp99yc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collagen<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-d\/N-cp99i2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vitamin D<\/a>, which play key roles in hair growth and strength. Managing stress, minimizing your use of hot styling tools, and limiting super-tight hairstyles can also help your locks thrive.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pin this infographic for quick reference:
