Thinning hair is often, but not always, the result of excessive hair shedding. For example, Barbara, a thirty-three-year-old music store manager, was astonished to see the back of her head in a mirror at a local restaurant. "I first noticed my hair loss when I was sitting in a restaurant. It was raining, so I got drenched on the way; and I saw my scalp in one of the mirrors. It was very upsetting for me."
While waiting for her friends to arrive, she noticed that she could see through her hair, right down to the crown of her scalp. Usually her hair was carefully blow-dried and styled, but due to the rain, her wet hair hung limp and exposed the thinning area.
It was a shock for Barbara because she hadn't noticed any of the common warning signs, such as excessive hair shedding, before she saw that her hair had thinned. Although her hair had likely been thinning for some time before she noticed, the lack of excessive hair in the brush kept it from her attention. How many of us have had similar experiences?
