This study describes a traditional Slovac hairstyle in Northeastern Yugoslavia that may contribute to a mild form of alopecia in middle-aged and older women.

In this study, two cases of cutis verticis gyrata were associated with chronic traction alopecia due to tight hairstyles, highlighting the need to consider hairstyling history in diagnosis and management.

This study found that hair curvature in merino wool is influenced by differences in cell type length rather than the proportions of orthocortical and paracortical cells.

This review discusses the evolution of the term “hot comb alopecia” to central cicatricial centrifugal alopecia (CCCA) and highlights the ongoing debate over hairstyling practices' role in its pathology, without offering new clinical results.

This study suggested that differences in hair follicle development, indicated by the frequency of underdeveloped hairs, significantly contribute to the variation in hair loss severity among Japanese individuals with the LIPH c.736T>A mutation.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

A girl's severely tangled hair couldn't be fixed and had to be cut due to a rare condition called plica neuropathica.

This study suggests that topical minoxidil may be a promising treatment for isolated autosomal recessive woolly hair due to LIPH mutations, although effective treatments are not yet established.

In this case report, an adolescent girl with itchy alopecic patches showed hair regrowth and no new alopecia patches after 6 weeks of treatment, despite initial minimal improvement with oral doxycycline.

This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with diffuse partial woolly hair occurring alongside epidermolysis bullosa with mottled pigmentation.

This study observed that in frizzled 6 null mice, initially uncorrelated hair follicle orientations develop into highly ordered patterns over time, suggesting possible mechanisms for biological structure patterning.

This case study describes a 43-year-old Hispanic man with cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, and suggests tufted folliculitis as the most likely diagnosis.

Mammalian hair scales change from smooth to wavy due to friction.

This paper compiles previously observed similarities in biomagnetic fields emitted by human hair and mouse vibrissa follicles, with findings supporting distinctive patterns of biomagnetic activity skewed to one side.

This case report describes a patient with lichen nitidus whose lesions improved following treatment with oral astemizole and topical steroids, although spontaneous resolution remains a possibility.

This review details the global mutation patterns of genes associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and highlights potential, yet unproven, treatments like minoxidil and regenerative therapies, reporting no new clinical results.

This paper offers detailed tables of genotypic and phenotypic data on horses, including markers, variants, and haplotypes, but reports no new research results.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle morphogenesis in Ordos fine-wool sheep, identifying differential genes related to primary and secondary hair follicles, and providing important insights for improving wool quality and breeding strategies.

This study reports pseudopili annulati in a dark-haired Chinese girl, identifying the unique appearance and structural characteristics of her hair without finding abnormalities in the cuticle and cortex.

In this report, the researchers described a follicular dysplastic syndrome in two adult white-tailed deer, where gross alopecia and histologic signs suggestive of alopecia areata were observed, potentially predisposing affected deer to environmental exposure.

This educational activity reports no new research findings; it aims to help physicians assess and improve their clinical skills through self-evaluation and continued medical education.

This study identified a new mouse mutation associated with noninflammatory proliferative skin disease and hair abnormalities, drawing parallels to human conditions like Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This study examined hair curvature in Japanese women, finding that 47% have curved hair, and identified structural differences in hair fiber, which resemble those in wool fibers.

This report presents a case of an 18-year-old female-to-male transgender man experiencing hair loss and varied hair lengths over his temples, raising questions about the diagnosis as the patient exhibited no itching or rash.

This case report describes a 50-year-old Kashmiri woman with plica polonica, detailing trichoscopic findings of entangled hair with crisscrossing shafts and concretions.

A young boy's uncombable hair is due to a rare genetic condition that usually improves over time.

Hair loss in male frontal fibrosing alopecia may spare areas covered by a wristwatch.
