Hair loss is such a sensitive subject. If it’s a problem that started for no apparent reason, your GP should be your first port of call, and you may be referred to a dermatologist for tests. You can also see a hair loss specialist (a trichologist) privately, too.
The first step is pinpointing any obvious causes, often through blood tests. “There are many possible causes of hair loss,” says Anabel Kingsley, trichologist at Philip Kingsley. “These include anything from hormonal changes and genetics through to thyroid health, nutritional deficiencies, stress and scalp health.”
