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.

It's important to tell the difference between hair casts, pseudocasts, and nits.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

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

In this study, researchers observed that trichoscopy could reliably identify features such as anisotrichosis and signs associated with inflammation and fibrosis in female pattern hair loss, which may aid in assessing disease severity and guiding treatment decisions.
