The trichometer accurately measures hair growth and is easy to use.
research Digit-length ratios (2D:4D) as a phenotypic indicator of in utero androgen exposure is not prognostic for androgenic alopecia: a descriptive-analytic study of 1200 Iranian men
Finger length ratios don't predict baldness in men.
research Assessment of hair loss: clinical relevance of hair growth evaluation methods
Effective hair loss assessment requires a mix of precise measurement methods.
research TrichoScan: combining epiluminescence microscopy with digital image analysis for the measurement of hair growth in vivo.
TrichoScan accurately measures hair growth and showed improved hair counts and thickness after finasteride treatment.
research The Development and Application of the Hair Diameter Index (HDI)
The Hair Diameter Index (HDI) was created to help plan hair restoration surgery after finding that visual hair density is linked to hair count and thickness, not volume.
research Hair density response to photobiomodulation in canine alopecia X is measured reliably with an ordinal scale: a randomized, controlled, double-blind study
Photobiomodulation did not significantly improve hair density in dogs with alopecia X.
research Response to the article, “Evaluation of standardized scalp photography on patient perception of hair loss severity, anxiety, and treatment,” by Pathoulas et al
Combining scalp photos with hair density and caliber measurements gives a more accurate assessment of hair loss.
research SERUM-CONCENTRATIONS OF Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate IN MEN WITH ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Men with hair loss don't necessarily have higher levels of the hormone DHEA-S, but this hormone tends to decrease with age.
research Epidemiology of hirsutism among women of reproductive age in the community: a simplified scoring system
A simplified scoring system can effectively diagnose hirsutism in Chinese women of reproductive age.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Quality of Life Index: A Validated Disease-Specific Questionnaire Involving Women
The FFA-QLI is a reliable tool for assessing quality of life in women with severe Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.
research Grading of hirsutism: a practical approach to the modified Ferriman-Gallwey scoring system
Checking the chin, thighs, upper lip, or lower abdomen is enough to predict hirsutism.
research Dermoscopy in hair disorders
Dermoscopy improves diagnosis of hair and scalp disorders and can help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
research 701 Rethinking alopecia scores: Correlating measures of hair loss with established photographic scoring systems
The conclusion suggests that a new system for measuring hair loss could be created using automated analysis of photographs.
research Hair weathering and hair capacitance mapping: a pilot study
Hair capacitance mapping effectively measures hair surface moisture changes.
research Hair-Related Dysmorphophobia: A Mini-Review
Hair-related body dysmorphic disorder is common in hair loss patients and needs early recognition for proper treatment.
research PSS21 GAP ANALYSIS FOR PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES MEASURES FOR ALOPECIA
No current patient-reported outcome measure fully meets FDA requirements for alopecia treatments.
research Validation of a skin and coat scoring protocol in dogs
The protocol is easy to use, but reliable results need the same person to assess each time.
research Objective outcome measures: Collecting meaningful data on alopecia areata
The document suggests using standardized methods to track and measure hair loss in alopecia areata, including patient self-assessment and a 50% improvement in specific scores as a treatment goal.
research Investigation by Imaging Mass Spectrometry of Biomarker Candidates for Aging in the Hair Cortex
Certain molecules in hair change with age and could be used for cosmetic treatments.
research The trichotillometry: a technique for hair assessment
Trichotillometry is a reliable method to measure hair strength and assess hair loss treatments.
research Hair breakage index: an alternative tool for damage assessment of human hair.
Coconut oil protects hair from damage better than regular grooming practices.
research Measurement and comparison of various androgen levels in women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia
Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.
