This review discusses traction alopecia, its causes, and common treatments, noting a lack of data on effective treatment options; the authors emphasize altering hair care practices to potentially reverse early-stage alopecia.

This article presents a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a common but often unrecognized disorder, diagnosed through dermoscopic examination of black macules revealing bundled vellus hairs, with the patient declining treatment.

This case report describes a three-year-old girl with a two-year history of hair loss who was previously treated with selenium sulfide shampoo, with no family history of alopecia.

In this case report, researchers described a female child with total alopecia due to a mutation in the SNRPE gene, emphasizing the need for updated genetic testing as knowledge advances to avoid diagnostic delays in hereditary nonsyndromic hypotrichosis.

This study found that human hair exhibits significant deformation in its intermediate filaments under strain, with recovery taking about 1000 minutes, suggesting a self-healing period post-mechanical stress. Additionally, cuticle scales deform much less than the cortex, and the Poisson ratio aligns with soft matter properties.

In this case report, a severe case of pediatric alopecia areata was treated with topical ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor, highlighting the limited but promising evidence for this treatment in children.

This article discusses the potential link between traction alopecia and hijab-wearing, emphasizing the need for careful examination techniques, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that 54% of participants with androgenetic alopecia using Ricapil® showed clinical signs of hair follicle reactivation and initial hair regrowth over three months.

In this case study, a 24-year-old female with treatment-resistant trichotillomania achieved a 9-month remission of hair-pulling and hair regrowth through mindset reframing, physical barriers, and community support, suggesting these approaches may offer promising interventions for individuals with similar conditions.

In this case report, a girl with tinea capitis experienced psychological disorders, but oral and topical treatment with griseovulfin led to both clinical and psychological improvement, as assessed by CDQLI and DMHC methods.

The document's conclusion cannot be provided because the document cannot be parsed.

This study found that women with alopecia have significantly lower tensile strength in both dry and wet hair samples compared to controls, indicating increased hair breakability.

This case report details a unique instance of pityriasis rubra pilaris affecting only the scalp, highlighting novel trichoscopic features and emphasizing the importance of recognizing this rare presentation for improved diagnosis and treatment.

This case study reports on an 11-year-old boy with woolly hair nevus, featuring twisted hair shafts and an abnormal hair cuticle, alongside epidermal nevi on his face and back.

This review discusses complications of frizzy hair syndrome and emphasizes the importance of precautionary measures, but it reports no new research findings.

In this case report, researchers detailed a 22-year-old Turkish woman diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H), linked to a mutation in the LIPH gene, resulting in sparse, poorly growing, curly hair, highlighting the need for genetic consideration in similar hair conditions.

This case series found that low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may benefit some patients with trichotillomania, although one of five patients experienced worsening symptoms after treatment.

This report describes a case of acquired trichorrhexis nodosa in a woman with severe iron deficiency anemia, highlighting a possible link between the two conditions.

This study examined children with trichotillomania using a set of specific questions to better understand the condition and aid clinicians who may be unfamiliar with it.

In this study, trichostasis spinulosa was observed in 51 patients with lesions on the nose, where some follicles contained up to 86 hairs each, possibly influenced by endocrine factors and actinic rays.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

This case study reports that oral zinc therapy improved hair growth and pigmentation in a young girl with sucrase deficiency and low zinc levels.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of not ignoring the partial presence of comma or harpin hairs and black spots when identifying early lesions of tinea capitis, which may initially be overlooked due to their small size.

This study found that rebonding hair straightening treatments visibly damage the hair cuticle, causing surface erosion and cracks, as shown through Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis.

This case report discusses the clinical features and management of tinea capitis, highlighting its occurrence in adults and the continued preference for griseofulvin treatment.

This paper reviews trichostasis spinulosa and presents a case in a 13-year-old girl, providing no new clinical research results.
