How To Tell If You Have Pattern Hair Loss (In 15 Seconds)

Pattern hair loss – or androgenic alopecia (AGA) – is one of the most common hair loss disorders.

AGA can be diagnosed by a medical professional. Having said that, we can also glean insights as to whether we might have AGA – all by looking at the hairs we shed, and determining if they have something known as hair diameter diversity.

Hair diameter diversity is a term that describes differences in thickness across hair strands. If hair diameter diversity of greater than 20% is present, that implies we probably have some degree of hair follicle miniaturization: one of the defining characteristics of AGA. This greatly increases our likelihood of getting diagnosed with pattern hair loss / AGA by a doctor or dermatologist.

In this video, we'll explain the steps we can take to identify if you might have pattern hair loss. Keep in mind that the quicker we receive clarity on our own hair loss type(s), the faster we can seek effective treatments, and the better our hair loss outcomes.
