Glossary Trichoschisis

Trichoschisis is a hair condition characterized by the presence of split or broken hair shafts, often resulting in frayed ends. This condition can be associated with various factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental damage, or underlying health issues. In the context of hair loss, trichoschisis can contribute to hair fragility and increased shedding, making it relevant for individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss. Key distinguishing characteristics include the visible splitting of hair strands and potential brittleness, which can affect the overall appearance and health of the hair.
