May 2008 in “Applied spectroscopy” Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.
May 2022 in “British Journal of Dermatology” A 35-month-old girl exhibited symptoms of loose anagen hair syndrome, characterized by hair lightening and reduced growth over 1 year. Examination showed hair of unequal length, a positive and painless hair pull test, and specific microscopic features such as longitudinal grooves and uniquely shaped bulbs. The condition typically involves anagen hairs lacking inner root sheaths. In this case, spontaneous resolution occurred within 24 months, with normal hair recovery, although minoxidil was suggested as a potential future treatment.
