Early Stage — Mechanical Stress Phase
Follicle intact but under tension. Perifollicular fibrosis beginning. Reversible with traction relief.
Severe Stage — Permanent Follicle Loss
Follicle units permanently replaced by scar tissue. Smooth atrophic hairline. Irreversible.
Thinning Hair
Hair thinning is distinct from hair fall — it refers to the progressive reduction in hair shaft diameter and density driven by follicle miniaturisation. Unlike telogen effluvium (sudden shed events), thinning is gradual and often overlooked until significant density is lost. Early detection via AI trichoscopy defines the intervention window.
Key Characteristics
- Reduced hair shaft diameter visible under trichoscopy
- Overall volume and density loss (not just shedding)
- Wider part line or more scalp visibility in light
- Scalp increasingly visible at crown or temples
- Hair feels limp and lacks structural body
