rare hair disorder where strands split into two branches

Pili Bifurcati is a rare hair shaft disorder characterized by the presence of bifurcated or forked hairs. This means that individual hair strands split into two separate branches along their length, giving the appearance of a "Y" shape. It is typically diagnosed through microscopic examination and can be associated with other hair abnormalities or genetic conditions.
