Hair Thinning Test
Thinning is a trend. Test it like one.
“Is my hair thinning?” is really a question about change — and change needs two data points. This test reads the places visible thinning shows first, turns them into stable tiers, and keeps your baseline so the next test answers the actual question.

How it works
Four photos. One baseline. Every change tracked.
Same four angles, every time — so each new scan compares fairly to your very first.

Front · crown · temple · back
Capture
Four guided angles in about 30 seconds — the same views every time.
Hairline · density · scalp
Read
AI reads each angle for hairline shape, crown density, and scalp surface.
Usable · limited · low-light
Qualify
Every reading shows its confidence — limited views are flagged, not guessed.

Save it, rescan later, and see exactly what moved.
Where to look
Where visible thinning shows first.
Thinning rarely announces itself everywhere at once. These are the usual first places — and the angle that catches each one.
The part line
A part that reads wider is often the first thing people notice — and the easiest thing to compare across dated photos.
The crown
Show-through around the swirl, read from the top angle — the area you can't check without help.
Temples and edge
Finer, sparser hair at the line — visible thinning often arrives at the edge before any movement does.
Overall coverage
Texture and coverage across all four angles, because diffuse change is easy to miss zone by zone.
The test, honestly
Two data points beat two hundred mirror checks.
One scan = the baseline
Four angles, guided framing, tiers with confidence levels. That's today, on record.
Tiers built to hold steady
Readings come back as qualitative tiers designed to stay put between scans of the same head — so a moved tier is signal, not noise.
Re-test in 8–12 weeks
Visible thinning that matters shows up across months. The comparison runs on identical angles, so the trend is fair.

“Stable” is a result too — and knowing it beats wondering every time the bathroom light is unkind.
Questions
Good to know.
How do I test if my hair is thinning?
Compare the same areas, at the same angles, over time. The test fixes the angles and framing for you, reads visible coverage as qualitative tiers, and compares each rescan against your saved baseline — which is the part mirror checks can't do.
How is this different from the hair density test?
The density test reads where your coverage stands today; the thinning test is about direction over time. Same scan underneath — but the thinning answer only exists once you have a baseline and a rescan to compare.
Can visible thinning be temporary?
The visible picture can shift with season, styling, and photo conditions — which is exactly why this is built as a repeat test. A one-off dip looks different from a steady trend. Sudden or heavy shedding, though, is a question for a professional.
Will it give me a number?
It gives tiers, not invented decimals. A phone photo can't count hairs, so we don't pretend it can — tiers are what stays honest and comparable between scans.
Is this a medical test?
No. It's an informational, appearance-based check designed for tracking. For diagnosis or treatment, a qualified professional is the right source.
A note on transparency
Informational and cosmetic — not a diagnosis.
ScalpAnalysis AI reads appearance-based signals and tracks visible change over time. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
If you have pain, sudden shedding, or signs of infection, a qualified professional is the right next step.

This is the exact report format a scan unlocks — qualitative tiers, your visible features, and a confidence level on every reading. Saved as a baseline you compare against on every rescan.
