Zone Hair Pull Test: A simple way to confirm hair loss by measuring shedding

If you can’t see a thin spot or obvious balding, the practical way to figure out if you’re losing hair—without going into a clinic for a scalp analysis—is to measure your shedding using the Zone Hair Pull Test.

1) Test three specific areas (zones):

  • Top of scalp: related to DHT or genetics

  • Sides of scalp: related to nutrition (vitamin D3, zinc, folate, ferritin, and B12 in the bloodstream)

  • Back of scalp: related to inflammatory hair loss tied to gut issues and other autoimmune/stressors

2) Pull and count what comes out.
  Do the pull in each zone and count the hairs.

3) Interpret the result.

  • More than two hairs from a zone = positive for hair loss in that area.

  • Two hairs can be an anomaly.

4) Confirm with repeat checks.
  Repeat the test every 3–4 days. If you’re consistently getting 3, 4, 5, or 10 hairs in a zone, that’s hair loss in that area.
