    GlossaryLoose Anagen Hair Syndrome

    hair is easily and painlessly pulled out during growth phase

    Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome (LAHS) is a condition where hair is easily and painlessly pulled out because it is not properly anchored in the hair follicle during the anagen (growth) phase. This typically results in diffuse hair thinning and shedding, primarily affecting children, but it can also occur in adults. The hair often appears thin, fine, and may not grow long.

      Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.

      Choosing hair loss treatments is challenging due to concerns about side effects from finasteride and minoxidil. Users suggest starting with topical treatments and gradually increasing dosage, while some recommend oral finasteride for its effectiveness despite potential side effects.
