Perhaps the most common indicator of male hair loss is a thinning crown. While you might get away with hiding or disguising a thinning temple or receding hairline, baldness on the crown is particularly difficult to dress up. However, there are several ways you can notice early warning signs of a balding crown, as well as some easy steps you can take to deal with it.
What are the early signs of a balding crown?
Yes – ‘how to spot a balding crown?’ might seem like a pretty strange question, but it’s amazing how easily male pattern baldness can creep up on you. Noticing certain warning signs before you start shedding hair is important, as it gives you time to do something about it. While every man is different, you might see some recession or thinning on different parts of your head, so regularly checking growth on your crown is essential if you want to tackle your hair loss from the outset.
If the hair on your crown is thinning, it’s a sign that you’re starting to shed hair. A reduction of hair density on your crown can quickly spread to other parts of your head, so it’s important to notice it as early as you can. A change in density of your hair on the crown is likely to be subtle at first, but you can look for particularly wiry or brittle hairs as an early indication of baldness. A receding hairline may also be a rough indication that you’re experiencing male pattern baldness, but it’s not always the case.

Keep calm
Baldness is as much of a mental challenge as a physical problem for many men, but you need to think about the bigger picture. Ultimately, losing your hair isn’t the end of the world! However, it could be important to you, so you’ll need to come up with a way of keeping track of it. You can spot early warning signs by regularly checking up on the back of your head in the bathroom mirror and by taking photos of the affected areas. You can then compare the snaps a few months apart to view any changes that are taking place. If you’re concerned with what you see, you should get in touch with the professionals.

Find a new style
Although you might have to change your haircut of choice now that you’ve started losing hair, you still need to adopt a style that makes you comfortable. Be it a buzz cut or a combover, experiment until you settle on a style that you’re content with. If you’ve avoided hair styling products until now, it might be a good time to see what’s out there. Adopting a new hairstyle and shifting some of the emotional weight of losing your hair will help you in the long run.
