    GlossaryHair Tufts

    small clusters of hair growing together from one point

    Hair tufts refer to small clusters or groups of hair that grow together from a single point on the scalp or skin. This can occur naturally or as a result of certain medical conditions, such as alopecia areata, where hair loss leads to the regrowth of hair in uneven patches. In some cases, hair tufts can also be a sign of underlying dermatological issues or genetic disorders.
