This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

This correspondence highlights existing research on pattern hair loss, discussing findings about immune deposits, lymphocytic infiltration, and responses to treatment, and calls for future well-controlled studies.
