method to count hairs shed during a single washing session

The Hair Wash Test, also known as the hair shedding test, is a method used to assess hair loss by counting the number of hairs shed during a single washing session. Typically, individuals are instructed to wash their hair after a period of not washing it for a few days, and then collect and count the hairs that fall out. This test helps in diagnosing conditions like telogen effluvium or other forms of alopecia by providing a quantitative measure of hair shedding.
