First, you notice hair in the drain after a shower. Then — on the comb, pillow, clothes. The parting seems wider, the usual hairstyle no longer holds volume. The first thought is quite understandable: you need to change the shampoo. The second is to buy vitamins. And the third arises when neither helps: maybe the problem is not in the care at all?

I decided to find out where in Haifa you can turn to avoid choosing another remedy at random. And I discovered an interesting offer: first check the condition of the hair and scalp, and only after that discuss whether any treatment is required.
Hair loss, brittleness, and scalp problems are not the same thing
On the internet, these conditions are often mixed up. Meanwhile, hair can fall out with the root, break along the length, gradually thin out. A separate story is itching, flaking, increased oiliness, or scalp irritation. Externally, problems sometimes look similar, but the causes can be completely different.
For Israelis, the situation is complicated by the habit of explaining everything by the climate. Heat, sun, sea water, air conditioners. After tense months, stress is added to this. We have already told why residents of Israel notice increased hair loss, but it is far from always possible to independently determine the cause by external signs.
That is why it makes sense to start the examination with questions about the problem itself, rather than choosing a procedure.
What is offered to check in Haifa
In the Check-Post area, at 44 Histadrut Boulevard, there is the Abramski Hair Health Center, where trichologist Ella Abramski works.
The cost of diagnostics is 260₪ – but 0₪ when booking online.
Here they offer diagnostics using a trichoscope — a device that allows you to examine the hair and scalp under magnification. According to the center, the examination takes about 30–40 minutes and includes computer analysis, assessment of the scalp condition, hair thickness, and density. Upon completion, the visitor is provided with results and specialist recommendations.
It is important to understand: trichoscopy helps to see changes that are indistinguishable during a regular examination, but does not replace all possible medical examinations. For example, if hormonal disorders or deficiencies are suspected, a doctor’s consultation and additional tests may be required. This is also noted by the American Academy of Dermatology.
For NANews — News of Israel | Nikk.Agency, the sequence itself is interesting: people are offered to first understand the condition of their hair without requiring them to choose a specific treatment method in advance.
Free diagnostics: how it works
The usual cost of such an examination, as indicated on the Abramski website, is 260 shekels. Now the center offers to undergo it for free with prior registration via the internet.
I looked at how the registration is arranged. It all starts with a small questionnaire in Russian or Hebrew. Visitors are offered to choose what bothers them more: hair loss, scalp problems, or dryness. Then there are clarifying questions depending on the chosen topic. This is not a remote diagnosis — the survey helps to preliminarily describe the problem.
After filling it out, you can leave a phone number. A center employee contacts the person to agree on the day and time of the in-person diagnostics.
The terms of the offer, the content of the examination, and the preliminary survey itself are available here: Learn more about free hair diagnostics in Haifa.
At the same time, free diagnostics does not mean free subsequent treatment. According to the center’s information, the decision on further procedures remains with the visitor.
Haifa or Krayot: how convenient is it to get there?
For residents of Haifa, the address at 44 Histadrut, in the Check-Post area, may be more convenient than a trip to the city center. You can get here by Metronit and buses, and the center’s page also indicates the availability of parking.
From Kiryat Yam, Kiryat Motzkin, Kiryat Bialik, and Kiryat Ata, it is also not necessary to travel through all of Haifa. But before registering, it is better to clarify the reception time and plan the route in advance.
If the problem requires further observation, transport accessibility becomes a quite practical argument.
What I found out for myself
The most useful thing in this story is not the promise to restore hair density in a few procedures. Such guarantees without examination should generally be alarming.
It is much more important to find out what exactly is happening: hair is falling out, breaking, thinning, or changes are starting from the scalp. And only then make a decision on further actions.
Sometimes it’s worth starting not with another bottle in the bathroom, but with half an hour spent on an examination. At least after it, there is an opportunity to discuss a specific problem, not the tenth guess from the internet.
The cost of diagnostics is 260₪ – but 0₪ when booking online.
