5 / 164 resultsresearch Common Genetic Hair Shaft Abnormalities May Be Visualized by Light and Electron Microscope
The document discussed genetic hair shaft abnormalities that could be observed using light and electron microscopes. It highlighted conditions such as atopy, where hair breakage occurred due to defective cornification, and monilethrix, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by fragile, brittle hair with elliptical nodes and constrictions. While scalp hair in adults tended to improve, bamboo defects in eyebrow and body hair could persist. Mutations in genes encoding K83 and Desmoglein were identified, with the scalp usually being the primary area affected, though more extensive cases could involve eyebrows, eyelashes, and nails.
research MULTIPLE DEFECTS OF THE HAIR SHAFT IN NETHERTON'S DISEASE.
Two patients with ichthyosis linearis circumflexa, a skin condition associated with a syndrome similar to Netherton's disease, exhibited multiple hair shaft defects. These defects included variations in hair thickness, trichorrhexis nodosa, bamboo hairs, and various cup and ball deformities. The study also described the histological features of the hair follicles and explored the potential significance of an associated aminoaciduria.
research Bamboo Hair Syndrome or Netherton Syndrome: A Case Report
Netherton Syndrome is a non-treatable genetic disorder in children causing skin, hair, and allergy issues.
research Recurrent bacterial vaginosis and Netherton's syndrome
Netherton's syndrome, also known as 'bamboo hair' syndrome, was a rare disorder characterized by ichthyosiform dermatosis and distinctive hair shaft defects. It was commonly associated with atopy and recurrent infections, particularly affecting the skin. The document reported a case of a female patient with Netherton's syndrome who experienced severe recurrent bacterial vaginosis, highlighting the syndrome's potential impact on recurrent infections beyond the skin.
research Lekti: Netherton Syndrome And Atopic Dermatitis
LEKTI is crucial for skin barrier and immune function, affecting conditions like Netherton syndrome and atopic dermatitis.

A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.
community 3 months! Min/fin, derma rolling once a week and bamboo brush the rest. Vitamins: Biotin, D, and Saw Palmetto. I think I got some gains! Notice hairs coming in on the temples.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatment progress over three months using Minoxidil, Finasteride, weekly derma rolling, a bamboo brush, and vitamins Biotin, D, and Saw Palmetto. The user reports noticing hair regrowth at the temples.
community One year into a healthier hair routine
The user improved hair health using natural products and plans to start using minoxidil, finasteride, and derma stamping for further hairline improvement. They wash hair weekly with Sweet Ginger shampoo and use Bamboo Charcoal for deep cleansing, while conditioning twice a week.
community Microneedling + topical minoxidil is the most underrated combo.
Microneedling with topical minoxidil is effective for hair regrowth, especially with finasteride. Users report fewer side effects compared to oral minoxidil.
community 3 month progress on Manual combi fin/min pill
A user shared their 3-month progress using a combined finasteride and minoxidil pill for hair loss, noting early signs of regrowth. They also use biotin shampoo/conditioner, take Vyvanse and Propranolol, and bleach/dye their hair every 3 weeks.
