5 Signs It's Time To Deal With Hair Loss

Hair loss can be gradual, but it’s also deeply personal. If you’ve ever wondered whether your thinning hair or receding hairline is normal—or something more—it may be time to look a little closer. August may be National Hair Loss Awareness Month, but for many men and women, hair concerns come up all year long.

Dr. Steven Davis of Davis Hair Restoration explains that early intervention is often the key to successful treatment. “The sooner we can understand what’s going on, the better the options available,” he shares. Whether you’re just starting to notice shedding or dealing with long-term concerns, these five signs might be telling you it’s time to seek help.

The first sign is excessive shedding. It’s normal to lose some hair daily—usually between 50 to 100 strands—but if you notice handfuls in the shower or on your pillow, it may signal an underlying issue. The second red flag is a visibly widening part. Women especially tend to notice thinning in this area, which can be an early clue that something’s changing in your hair growth cycle.

The third sign is a receding hairline, more common in men, but also a concern for some women. If your hairline seems to be moving back or changing shape, don’t ignore it. Another clue is scalp visibility—if your scalp is becoming more noticeable in bright light or photos, it could mean density is decreasing.

Finally, if you’re constantly adjusting your hairstyle to cover thin areas, it’s probably time to explore restoration options. That might include topical treatments, advanced therapies, or even transplants depending on your needs.

While social media can make it seem like hair loss only affects older adults, more men and women in their 20s and 30s are speaking up—and seeking care. The stigma is fading, and honest conversations are leading more people to get proactive instead of reactive.

At Davis Hair Restoration, each patient is evaluated individually. Dr. Davis and his team use advanced diagnostic tools and personalized plans to make sure each journey fits your lifestyle and goals. Whether you’re active, work in a public-facing career, or just want to feel more like yourself again, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

There’s no shame in noticing changes—and no reason to put off addressing them. Hair loss is incredibly common, and today’s solutions are more advanced and natural-looking than ever.
