This case report describes a 22-year-old male with hair casts on scalp and body hair, associated with androgenetic alopecia, also affecting his sister as pseudonits.

This report describes an 11-year-old girl with peripilar keratin casts, a condition often underdiagnosed and mistaken for nits, highlighting the usefulness of keratolytic treatments in management.

This article proposes a classification system for hair casts to resolve confusion in existing literature and describes a staining technique to distinguish peripilar keratin casts from other hair disorders, without providing new clinical results.

The girl's "dandruff" was actually harmless hair casts, not a hygiene issue.

This report suggests that peripilar hair casts, potentially linked to modern hair styling or mild trichotillomania, may be more prevalent than currently reported.
