    TLDR Pili anulati may cause hair loss, proper diagnosis and treatment needed.
    This document discusses the relationship between acquired hair fragility in Pili anulati, a rare hair disorder characterized by alternating bands of normal and abnormal hair, and androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss. The study suggests a possible causal relationship between the two conditions, as androgenetic alopecia can lead to changes in hair structure and quality. The article emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment for patients with hair disorders, especially those with multiple conditions. The document reports on multiple cases of acquired hair fragility in individuals with Pili anulati and suggests possible treatments.
