TLDR People with hair loss have smaller hair roots and less fat tissue.
This study examined the morphological characteristics of hair roots during the telogen phase in both ordinary people and those with alopecia. It was found that both groups had club-shaped hair roots. However, ordinary people had more fat tissues and longer hair roots, while those with alopecia had minimal fat tissues, indicating hair miniaturization due to hair loss. These findings could help in visually distinguishing hair roots in the telogen phase and in understanding conditions like anagen effluvium and telogen effluvium caused by cytotoxic drugs.
