TLDR Whisker hair in young people might predict severe future hair loss.
The document from 1981 discusses whisker hair, which is short, curly, dark hair that grows in areas around the ears in young individuals who later develop severe androgenic alopecia. The term "whisker hair" is used by laypersons due to its similarity and proximity to beard hair. The document includes previously reported cases of whisker hair and proposes a hypothesis on its eventual fate.
