research Acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a Korean female adolescent
A Korean girl developed kinky hair without known cause or effective treatment.
research Human scalp hair: geometry, biochemistry, growth parameters and mechanical characteristics
A 6-group geometric classification of human scalp hair is more reliable and objective for testing than an 8-group system.
research Spontaneous Super-Contraction of Animal Hair
Animal hair can curl tightly on its own, especially in foxes, due to changes in keratin.

Plucking hairs in a certain way can result in intact hair roots, not related to baldness.
research Structural analysis of human hair single fibres by scanning microbeam SAXS
Hair curliness is due to uneven distribution of different cortices within the hair fiber.
research A hair abnormality in Abyssinian cats
Abyssinian cats can have a hair abnormality that makes their coat look rough and dull.

The Lanceolate hair-J mutation in mice mimics human hair disorders like Netherton's syndrome.
research Hair structure anatomy and comparative anatomy1 1Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. R. E. Rivett whose untimely death prevented his role in co-authorship.
Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.
research The Transverse Anatomy of Androgenic Alopecia
The study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are better for analyzing hair loss, showing fewer hairs and more fine hairs in balding areas.
research Morphological changes of the hair roots in alopecia areata: A scanning electron microscopic study
Scanning electron microscopy revealed four distinct hair root shapes in alopecia areata, suggesting a less invasive diagnostic method.
research Hair anatomy for the clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research Human hair morphology: a scanning electron microscopy study on a male Caucasoid and a computerized classification of regional differences.
Hair varies in size and features depending on body region.
research Exogen Hairs in Women with and without Hair Loss
Women with and without hair loss have similar amounts of exogen hairs, so these hairs are not a key factor in hair loss conditions.
research Angora Mouse Mutation: Altered Hair Cycle, Follicular Dystrophy, Phenotypic Maintenance of Skin Grafts, and Changes in Keratin Expression
The angora mouse mutation causes long hair and hair defects due to a gene deletion.
research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research New aspects of the structure of human hair on the basis of optical microscopic observations of disassembled hair parts.
Human hair's strength comes from a honeycomb-like structure and macrofibrils.
research Miniaturized hairs maintain contact with the arrector pili muscle in alopecia areata but not in androgenetic alopecia: A model for reversible miniaturization and potential for hair regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.
research Supplementary Material for: Utility of Horizontal Sections of Scalp Biopsies in Differentiating between Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are useful for telling the difference between Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata.
research The Ratio of Typical Clubbing in Pulled-Out Hairs as a Useful Marker in Predicting the Course of Alopecia Areata
Examining hair shape can help predict Alopecia Areata's progression.
research Use of hair pores to determine the orientation of collagen fibers in skin
A new method using hair pores can help align skin grafts better, improving results.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research A Unique Case of Pili Multigemini Complicated by Folliculitis: Unveiling the Intricacies of a Rare Hair-Follicle Disorder
A rare hair disorder with multiple hairs from one follicle was found on a patient's abdomen.
research The substantial role of asymmetric hair follicle differentiation in determining hair shape with ethical/racial related diversity
Asymmetric hair follicle differentiation causes the unique shape of kinky hair.
research Trichoscopy of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
Trichoscopy shows hair diameter variability, vellus hairs, and the peripilar sign are key indicators for diagnosing Androgenetic Alopecia.
research The three-dimensional microvascular and collagen fibrillar arrangements around rat vibrissa hairs as revealed by scanning electron microscopy
The lower part of rat vibrissa hair gets more blood and is well-protected for growth.
research Quantitative measurement of hair diameter diversity as a diagnostic indicator of androgenetic alopecia in Korean males: A cross-sectional study
Measuring the variety in hair thickness can help diagnose male pattern baldness in Korean men.
research Heterotypic cell contacts and basal lamina morphology during hair follicle development in the mouse: a light, scanning, and electron microscopic study at the site of tissue interaction
Heterotypic cell contacts likely help hair matrix cells differentiate during mouse hair follicle development.
