    Glossary Modified Wash Test

    diagnostic procedure to assess hair shedding by counting shed hairs

    The Modified Wash Test is a diagnostic procedure used to assess hair shedding. In this test, a person washes their hair after a period of not washing it (usually 5 days), and the shed hairs are collected and counted. This helps in evaluating the severity of hair loss and can be useful for diagnosing conditions like telogen effluvium or other forms of alopecia.
