Did you mean Pigtail Hairs?

Glossary Pigtail Hairs

tapered regrowth hairs seen in alopecia areata recovery

Pigtail hairs refer to a specific type of hair regrowth observed in conditions like alopecia areata. These hairs are characterized by their tapered ends, resembling the shape of a pigtail, and indicate a phase of hair regrowth where the hair shaft is thinner at the base and gradually thickens. This pattern can be a sign of recovery in patients experiencing hair loss.
