Short answer
A dermatologist is the right starting point for the cause, particularly with sudden, rapidly increasing, patchy or painful changes. When consistent with healthcare advice, we can assess your preferred appearance, manageable haircuts and wig options around your personal expectations.
At a glance
- We listen and distinguish healthcare needs from cosmetic goals.
- Sudden or uncomfortable changes call for a dermatologist first.
- At an appropriate stage, we plan appearance and daily use together.
Simply describe what you have noticed
You do not need to diagnose short strands, reduced volume or hair in a brush yourself. Tell us when it began and what changed in daily use. We can discuss care habits affecting breakage along the lengths; the medical cause of loss from the root is a healthcare professional’s role.
Start with appropriate healthcare advice
See a dermatologist for sudden, patchy, rapidly increasing or painful hair loss. The American Academy of Dermatology explains that hair loss can present with different signs. Waiting for assessment rather than prioritising an appearance-changing process can also help you make a more informed cosmetic choice later.
Adding more hair is not always the answer
We take account of the fact that repeated tension can cause hair loss. We do not recommend addressing active shedding concerns by adding more extensions; extensions and keratin care are not hair-loss treatments. We do not plan new attachments before the load your hair can carry and scalp conditions are clear, and may postpone treatment.
A small preparation for your next appointment
Noting when the change began, recent hair treatments and products used can help your medical appointment. You can also share older photos taken in similar light. Medication and supplement decisions belong with your clinician; in salon consultation, we can discuss care and use that do not conflict with their advice.
Plan your everyday appearance with us
You may want to wear your hair loose more often or create a more balanced frame around your face. At an appropriate stage, we consider cutting, styling and wig options together. For wigs, we discuss length, colour and daily fitting and removal. A consultation does not oblige you to have a service; waiting is a valid choice too.
Common questions
Can a salon tell me why my hair is falling out?
A dermatologist assesses the medical cause. We can listen and discuss cosmetic appearance and use at an appropriate stage.
Will extensions or keratin care stop hair loss?
These services are not hair-loss treatments. With active loss or discomfort, healthcare assessment comes first.
When can I discuss my appearance?
When consistent with your healthcare assessment, we can discuss your goals and daily routine for a manageable haircut or wig.
