    TLDR A 14-year-old girl with Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome was successfully treated with oral Minoxidil and a Silicon supplement.
    The document described a case study of a 14-year-old female patient with Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome (LAHS), a rare and benign type of non-scarring alopecia characterized by easily removable, thin, and dull hair, primarily in the occipital region. Although LAHS often resolves spontaneously, some cases persist into adulthood. The study aimed to propose a new treatment combination not previously documented in the literature. The patient was treated with oral Minoxidil and a Silicon supplement, which resulted in satisfactory outcomes. This case contributed to the understanding of LAHS and demonstrated a successful therapeutic option for persistent cases.
