    Studysummary This review covers current knowledge of tricoscopy's applications in diagnosing and monitoring scalp and hair disorders but presents no new clinical results. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    The document reviewed the advancements in trichoscopy, a non-invasive dermatoscopic examination of the hair and scalp, which had become increasingly popular due to its wide range of applications and ease of use. Trichoscopy was particularly valuable in diagnosing and monitoring various hair and scalp conditions, including alopecias, inflammatory and infectious scalp diseases, and hair shaft disorders. The authors discussed the current knowledge of trichoscopic structures and their applicability in diagnosing clinical entities with well-defined trichoscopic criteria.
