This manuscript describes a proposed ‘trichoscopy-assisted hair pull test’ that enhances the diagnosis of hair loss conditions by allowing immediate examination of proximal hair shafts and roots in patients with a positive hair pull test.

This article reviews treatments for facial hypertrichosis and hirsutism and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the potential of laser and pulsed flash-light systems for permanent hair removal.

This review synthesizes recent advancements in clinical trichology, highlighting updates on androgenetic alopecia treatments like low-dose oral minoxidil, 5α-reductase inhibitors, and other therapeutic options for various alopecia types, including telogen/anagen effluvium and alopecia areata, and detailed approaches for scarring alopecias and pediatric trichology.

Trichoscopy is effective in diagnosing trichotillomania by showing specific hair patterns.

This systematic review concludes that trichoscopy is a reliable diagnostic tool for trichotillomania and should be incorporated into standard clinical practice for differential diagnosis.

This article reviews various hair abnormalities observable through trichoscopy in conditions like monilethrix, trichorrhexis nodosa, and ectodermal dysplasias, with no new clinical findings reported.

This review highlights advances in understanding trichotillomania's neurobiology and treatment, noting behavior therapy's effectiveness and new pharmacological and digital therapies, while addressing underdiagnosis, stigma, and research gaps.

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.

This article provides a diagnostic guide for clinicians to differentiate between various hair shaft disorders by using a structured question-by-question approach but does not report new clinical findings.

The study found that Temporal Triangular Alopecia often starts in early childhood, mainly affects the left side of the scalp, and has no effective treatment except surgery.

This study found that complete surgical resection and multidisciplinary management were crucial for treating proliferating trichilemmal tumors, though malignant cases showed recurrence and mortality risks.

In this study, the authors evaluated 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia, finding that alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%) were the most prevalent causes. Trichoscopy identified unique features for each condition, enhancing diagnosis and management.

This review discusses treatment options for trichotillomania, focusing on cognitive-behavioral interventions and promising developments in combined pharmacotherapy and therapy approaches, but reports no new findings.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.

This review suggests that while both pharmaceuticals and behavioral therapies can reduce symptoms of trichotillomania, behavioral therapies often prove more effective, though long-term effectiveness remains uncertain.

This systematic review evaluated 60 studies on trichoscopy in hair and scalp disorders, revealing gaps in accounting for variables like disease stage or hair texture, and underscoring a need for more comprehensive analyses to fully understand trichoscopic patterns.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders.

This article explores the evolution of scalp therapy in barbershops from a trend into a responsible practice, emphasizing the importance of clinical consistency and proposing a framework focused on client safety, documentation, and appropriate referrals to dermatology.

This study found that trichoscopic examination can effectively differentiate between alopecia areata and trichotillomania, as specific features such as black dots and exclamation marks favor alopecia areata while hair breaking at various lengths and several unique patterns are exclusive to trichotillomania.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various hair disorders by identifying specific trichoscopic patterns, such as hair diameter diversity in androgenetic alopecia and exclamatory marks in alopecia areata.

This article reviews trichotillomania, highlighting its prevalence, common treatment options, and challenges such as secrecy and delayed treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, a 74-year-old woman improved her scalp hair condition by reducing chronic rubbing, leading to hair regrowth without ongoing abnormalities after behavior modification.

This study found that Trichoscope can effectively reveal clinical features of alopecia areata and androgenic alopecia, making it a useful tool for diagnosis and monitoring.

This article reviews new developments in hypertrichosis treatments and reports no new clinical results; permanent depilation by photothermolysis and eflornithine cream are highlighted as promising options.

This study developed a prototype device that suggests potential for diagnosing changes in hair quantity, diameter, and density, though formal clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This study reported that Trichoscan, a computer-assisted hair measurement system, was not supported as accurate for clinical trials due to errors in signal detection, despite its analysis speed.

This article reviews trichotillomania, highlighting its differences from OCD and recommending treatments like habit reversal therapy and specific medications, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that trichoscopy is highly effective for diagnosing different types of alopecia, showing an average diagnostic accuracy of 90–95%, with specific features aiding in differentiating forms like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. New technologies and AI improve interpretation objectivity, suggesting expanded clinical integration.

This review discusses the potential factors contributing to trichotillomania and reports that behavioral therapy, N-acetyl cysteine, and olanzapine may be beneficial for those affected; it provides no new clinical results.

This study discusses trichodynia, a painful scalp condition often linked to various forms of alopecia and psychiatric comorbidities, highlighting its clinical diagnosis, lack of specific treatments, and suggesting the need for more research to explore effective therapies.
