This study found that 82.3% of girls with anorexia nervosa had pili torti, an acquired hair defect, suggesting a potential link to excess vitamin A intake.

This review discusses pili torti, a rare hair shaft disorder, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the need to investigate underlying conditions in affected individuals.

In this study of 30 severe anorexia nervosa patients, true acquired pili torti was not found although twisted hair was observed in 6.6% of cases.

The document concludes that individualized treatments for hair issues are effective, certain hair changes can indicate neurocutaneous diseases, specific lotions improve skin health, laser hair removal works but needs more study on long-term effects, men's cosmetics are diverse, peeling is effective but can have side effects, and facial pigmentation is often due to overactive skin cells.

This article illustrates various hair shaft defects and suggests that dermatologists can diagnose most of them using light microscopy and polarization without needing advanced imaging techniques.
