Hair Loss Calculator

Hair Loss Calculator

Hair loss affects millions of men and women worldwide, and identifying its stage early can help in choosing effective treatments. This calculator estimates your hair loss stage based on common symptoms like a receding hairline, crown thinning, and scalp visibility. It uses the Norwood Scale for men and Ludwig Scale for women to provide an indicative stage of hair loss.

By answering a few simple questions, you can better understand where you might stand on the hair loss scale and consider speaking to a dermatologist or trichologist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hairs is it normal to lose per day?

When should I worry about hair shedding?

If you notice sustained shedding above ~150 strands daily, visible thinning, or a widening part, consult a dermatologist or trichologist.

What causes sudden hair shedding?

Stress, illness, rapid weight loss, hormonal changes, and tight hairstyles are common triggers for temporary increased shedding (telogen effluvium).
