    TLDR The modified hair loss classification is more detailed but less user-friendly.
    In 2019, a study involving 138 patients (82 males and 56 females) with pattern hair loss introduced a modified Basic and Specific (BASP) classification system to better classify frontal hair loss and include temporal (T) and occipital (O) involvement. The modified classification showed an accuracy of 71.4% for the final type and 96% for T/O type, compared to the existing BASP classification's 82.5% for the final type. However, the modified system was found to be less user-friendly, with ease of use rated lower by practitioners. Despite this, the modified classification was deemed valuable for its ability to classify previously unclassified types of pattern hair loss, with the expectation that accuracy and ease of use would improve with practitioner experience and real scalp examination.

      Feeding bacteria-free mice with Lactobacillus murinus worsened hair loss, but a regular diet with biotin stopped it. The conversation suggests gut bacteria and diet may influence hair loss, with some skepticism and discussion about other factors like DHT and genetics.
