Hair Loss Tracking Guides by Treatment

Noticing hair loss is stressful, but reacting without data usually makes things worse. Most people cycle between mirror-checking, internet searching, and switching treatments before they have any real evidence of what is happening. These guides exist to break that cycle by giving you a structured tracking framework built around your specific treatment or condition.

Each guide covers what to capture, how often to review, which metrics matter, and when it makes sense to talk to a clinician. The goal is not to diagnose or recommend treatment. It is to help you collect clean data so that your decisions, whether on your own or with a professional, are grounded in trend evidence instead of anxiety.

If you are brand new to tracking, start with the First 90 Days guide. If you are already on a treatment, pick the guide that matches your current routine below.

21+ treatment and condition guides with practical tracking workflows.

In Short

Use this hub as your treatment map: start with a baseline framework, then pick the guide that matches your current routine and review progress with monthly checkpoints.

  • Step 1: Start with a baseline guide if you are new to tracking.
  • Step 2: Move to treatment-specific pages for cadence and scorecards.
  • Step 3: Use app-based timeline exports for clinician discussions.

What is the best way to start tracking hair loss?

Start with a fixed baseline photo set, then run weekly captures and monthly comparisons so decisions come from trend signal instead of daily noise.

Capture weekly, but interpret trend monthly. Monthly comparison blocks reduce false conclusions from short-term variation.

Which tracking guide should beginners use first?

Most new users should begin with the First 90 Days guide, then move into treatment-specific guides once baseline tracking is stable.

Can I use these guides with my dermatologist?

Yes. The guides are built to create consultation-ready progress notes, timeline checkpoints, and comparable photo evidence.
