In this study, researchers evaluated the hair pull test and found that normal values should be reduced to two hairs or fewer, with no significant impact from hair washing, brushing, or lifestyle factors such as hair texture and medication use.

This article reports two cases where 2% topical minoxidil showed promise in treating traction alopecia, but it does not offer broader clinical conclusions.

This case study reports that PRP therapy resulted in significant hair growth and increased pigmentation in a 21-year-old with diffuse alopecia areata unresponsive to other treatments, with sustained results at 1.5-year follow-up.

This case report describes a unique occurrence of plica polonica in a lung adenocarcinoma patient on chemotherapy, linked to anagen effluvium from paclitaxel and carboplatin and uncustomary shampoo use.

This abstract discusses telogen effluvium, a type of hair loss that can occur after pregnancy or extreme stress, and the authors mention a shampoo product that is claimed to help prevent or recover from this condition.

This study reports a novel TRbeta gene mutation associated with resistance to thyroid hormone syndrome, which may contribute to various forms of alopecia in the affected family members.

This review discusses the genetic disorder, monilethrix, characterized by fragile, brittle hair and its inheritance patterns, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hairstyling practices in the black community linked to traction alopecia, categorizes them by risk, and offers guidance for dermatologists on management and patient education but reports no new clinical results.
