1 in every 4 men in HK has prior or ongoing hair loss problems

According to statistics, Hong Kong has a higher proportion of hair loss patients than other Asian regions, with 1 in every 4 men suffering from prior or ongoing hair loss problems. The causes can vary greatly, and can be classified into congenital and acquired factors:

Congenital hair loss: Genetics, excessive sebum production, congenital autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic anaemia), etc.

Acquired hair loss: Imbalanced nutrition, excessive work-related stress, overwork of the brain, sleep deprivation, too much smoking and drinking, excessive dye jobs and perms, etc.

Your hair loss may be the result of single or several causes. The above factors will affect the nutrient absorption of the hair, blood circulation and hormonal balance, triggering excessive sebum production and an oily scalp, hence clogged hair follicles. Over time, the hair cannot absorb enough nutrients and falls off easily.

Self-test of hair loss

A healthy person has over 90% of hair in the active anagen phase and only 10% in the catagen and telogen phases. When your hair enters the telogen phase too early and makes you shed 100-150 hairs every day, this means you are suffering from hair loss problem. You can use the following 4 ways to check whether your hair shedding amount is normal:

1.Cover the drain hole when washing your hair and check how many hairs you have shed.

2.Count the number of hairs on your pillow when you wake up in the morning. Multiply it by three times to estimate the number of hair loss in the day.

3.Perform a hair pull test. Grasp a small section of hair (around 50-60 hairs) with your thumb and index finger and pull them lightly. It is normal to shed 1 to 2 hairs, but if more than 5 to 6 hairs fall out, you have to be aware of hair loss problems.

4.Receive Hair Forest’s scalp test. Our hair care professionals will utilise advanced devices to carry out an in-depth examination of your scalp and hair conditions, analyse the health of hair follicles and causes of hair loss, and then facilitate precise treatment of your hair loss problem.
