research Hair Shedding in Women: How Much Is Too Much?
The hair shedding scale accurately identifies abnormal hair shedding in women with long hair, with grades 5 and 6 indicating excessive shedding.
research Destruction of the Arrector Pili Muscle and Fat Infiltration in Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research Beyond Goosebumps: Does the Arrector Pili Muscle Have a Role in Hair Loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
research Single Follicular Unit Transplantation Reconstructs Arrector Pili Muscle and Nerve Connections and Restores Functional Hair Follicle Piloerection

research Miniaturized Hairs Maintain Contact With the Arrector Pili Muscle in Alopecia Areata but Not in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Model for Reversible Miniaturization and Potential for Hair Regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.
research The Ludwig Pattern of Androgenetic Alopecia Is Due to a Hierarchy of Androgen Sensitivity Within Follicular Units That Leads to Selective Miniaturization and a Reduction in the Number of Terminal Hairs Per Follicular Unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
