I have noticed an increase in
the number of hairs lost when
shampooing over the past 6 months.

There is more hair in my brush/comb
after brushing/ combing my hair
over the past 6 months.

I have less hair in my 'pony-tail'
or to clip back than previously.
(ie 2-5 years ago)

My hair loss is not obvious
to others. (ie GP, hairdresser)

I have noticed that my hair
is thinner than it used to be.
(ie 2-5 years ago)

My hair loss is evenly distributed
(diffuse), it is not just at the
top of my head.

I don't eat any red meat or I
don't eat red meat very often.

I have heavy periods each month.
