Hair Loss Tracking Scorecard Template: A 12-Month Framework
Educational content reviewed by the Balding AI Editorial Team.
If your tracking is not structured, your decisions will be inconsistent. A scorecard fixes that by turning photos into comparable checkpoints over time.
Definition: what is a hair loss scorecard?
A hair loss scorecard is a consistent scoring system for key zones such as hairline, temples, and crown. In short, it converts subjective impressions into trackable trend data.
Core scorecard template
| Metric | Weekly Input | Monthly Review Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Hairline stability | 0-10 score | Compare 4-week cluster to baseline cluster |
| Temple density | Left and right 0-10 scores | Flag asymmetric direction changes |
| Crown visibility | 0-10 score + top-down photo | Review only under matched lighting and angle |
| Adherence context | Weekly routine note | Interpret trend with consistency context |
FAQ
How many metrics should I track each week?
Track 3 to 5 metrics. More than that usually adds noise and reduces consistency.
Should I change the template by treatment type?
Yes. Keep the core metrics stable, then add one treatment-specific field for your routine.
When should I trust the trend?
Most users get clearer trend confidence after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent scorecard input.

Common Questions for This Stage
What is the minimum weekly data I should log?
Five-angle captures, adherence percentage, one short context note, and one monthly comparison checkpoint.
How do I avoid overreacting during implementation?
Separate collection from interpretation. Collect weekly, interpret monthly. This protects decisions from short-term volatility.
When should I pause and reassess the plan?
Reassess when trend worsens across repeated monthly checkpoints despite good capture quality and routine adherence.
