Did you mean Cadaverized Hairs?

Glossary Cadaverized Hairs

dead hair strands still attached to the scalp

Cadaverized hairs refer to hair strands that have died but remain attached to the scalp. These hairs are often seen in conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing the hair to die prematurely. For professionals, recognizing cadaverized hairs can be crucial for diagnosing and understanding the progression of certain hair loss disorders.
