African American women report more hair issues and use different hair care practices than Caucasian women, and have different hair and scalp characteristics.
research Hair shaft miniaturization causes stem cell depletion through mechanosensory signals mediated by a Piezo1-calcium-TNF-α axis
Hair thinning causes stem cell loss through a process involving Piezo1, calcium, and TNF-α.
research Sebaceous Gland, Hair Shaft, and Epidermal Barrier Abnormalities in Keratosis Pilaris with and without Filaggrin Deficiency
Keratosis pilaris is often linked to genetic mutations and causes skin and hair abnormalities, regardless of those mutations.
research Lack of effect of spironolactone on hair shaft diameter in hirsute females
Spironolactone did not make hair thinner in women with excess hair growth.

Forearm hair has more cortisol than lower leg hair.
research Potential use of human hair shaft keratin peptide signatures to distinguish gender and ethnicity
Keratin peptides in hair might help identify gender and ethnicity.
research Investigation of hair shaft in seborrheic dermatitis using atomic force microscopy
Hair from people with seborrheic dermatitis is thicker scaled, more damaged, and thinner than healthy hair, and atomic force microscopy can help monitor the condition.
research 6-Gingerol Inhibits Hair Shaft Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles and Modulates Hair Growth in Mice
6-Gingerol, found in ginger, may slow down hair growth and could be used for hair removal.
research Hair shaft abnormalities after chemotherapy and tamoxifen therapy in patients with breast cancer evaluated by optical coherence tomography
Chemotherapy can cause significant hair thinning and changes in hair texture, while tamoxifen has a smaller effect.
research Transgenic Kallikrein 14 Mice Display Major Hair Shaft Defects Associated with Desmoglein 3 and 4 Degradation, Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation, and IL-36 Signature
Mice with extra human KLK14 had hair and skin problems, including weaker cell bonds and inflammation, linked to Netherton syndrome.
research Bubble hair and other acquired hair shaft anomalies due to hot ironing on wet hair
Using a hot iron on wet hair can cause dry, brittle hair with air bubbles inside.
research Acquired pili torti--a structural hair shaft defect in anorexia nervosa.
Anorexia nervosa may cause a hair defect called pili torti due to malnutrition and high vitamin A levels.
