TLDR The book "Hair Science and Technology" provides a deep understanding of hair biology and genetics, discusses hair growth, density, and diseases, and offers methods for managing hair loss and caring for hair growth.
The book "Hair Science and Technology" from 2004, edited by Dominique Van Neste, was intended for clinicians seeking a deeper understanding of hair biology and genetics. The book was based on the annual meeting of the European Hair Research Society in 2002. It covered a range of topics including the effects of hormones on hair follicle development, the role of melanocytes and pigmentary units in hair follicles, genetic disorders affecting hair and nail, techniques for testing hair growth, density, patterning and diseases, methods for hair loss management, and approaches for hair growth care. It also studied two hair loss diseases with no hereditary origin. The book was noted for its emphasis on studying hereditary disorders of hair, their biological background, and proposing possible ways for their management.
