    TLDR The scalp microbiome may be a key factor in treating hair loss.
    The study reviews the influence of the scalp microbiome on alopecias, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target. The scalp microbiome, which includes bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites, is essential for scalp health. Dysbiosis is associated with conditions like androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and seborrheic dermatitis. The review indicates that microbial diversity impacts inflammatory, immunological, and metabolic processes related to hair growth. Emerging therapies involve probiotics, prebiotics, and microbiome-modulating cosmetics. However, more research is needed to confirm clinical applications.
