    GlossaryStructural Integrity

    ability to withstand stress without breaking or deforming

    Structural integrity refers to the ability of a structure, such as a building, bridge, or even biological tissues like hair, to withstand its intended load without experiencing failure or significant deformation. In the context of hair, it means the hair strand's capacity to maintain its strength, elasticity, and overall health despite exposure to various stressors like heat, chemicals, and physical manipulation.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
