Hair Loss Risk Calculator
A professional hair loss risk assessor aligned with dermatological and trichological standards. Evaluates genetics, lifestyle, medications, and scalp conditions to deliver a 7-level risk rating, cause analysis, graded care plans, trend tracking, and downloadable PDF reports. Not a substitute for clinical diagnosis.
- Enter age and gender — pattern and timing of loss differ by sex.
- Complete genetic history, stress, sleep, hair care, and dye frequency.
- Select current medications and check all applicable scalp problems.
- Review real-time 7-level assessment, causes, and graded care plans.

- Sudden patchy loss — may indicate alopecia areata; dermatology referral within weeks.
- Scalp pain, burning, or pustules — rule out folliculitis, lichen planopilaris, or infection.
- Shedding >150 hairs/day for >3 months — evaluate for telogen effluvium, thyroid, or iron deficiency.
- Medications (chemotherapy, anticoagulants, retinoids) can cause hair loss — never stop Rx without doctor approval.
- Androgenetic alopecia (AGA): Most common; DHT miniaturizes follicles. Male: receding/temples; Female: diffuse crown widening.
- Telogen effluvium: Diffuse shedding 2–3 months after trigger (stress, illness, surgery). Usually self-limiting.
- Alopecia areata: Autoimmune; smooth patches. Treat with intralesional steroids, JAK inhibitors (Rx).
- Traction alopecia: Preventable — caused by tight styles; early cessation may allow regrowth.

Hair Loss Science & Tips
The Hair Growth Cycle
Anagen (growth, 2–7 years) → Catagen (transition, 2 weeks) → Telogen (rest, 3 months) → Exogen (shed). Disruptions shift follicles prematurely to telogen, causing diffuse shedding 2–3 months later.
Evidence-Based Treatments
Minoxidil (topical) — FDA-approved for AGA. Finasteride/dutasteride (oral, men) — DHT blockers. PRP, microneedling, low-level laser — variable evidence. JAK inhibitors for alopecia areata (Rx only).
