    phenomenon where multiple hair shafts emerge from one follicle

    Tufted hairs refer to a phenomenon where multiple hair shafts emerge from a single follicular opening, creating a tuft-like appearance. This can be seen in certain types of alopecia, such as alopecia areata or scarring alopecia, and may indicate an underlying issue with hair follicle health or skin inflammation.
