Genetic hair shaft abnormalities can be seen with microscopes and often affect scalp hair.
research Clinicopathological insights into the phenotypic variation of autosomal recessive hypotrichosis/wooly hair by c.736T>A LIPH mutation
The conclusion is that the variation in hair thinness in patients is mostly due to the amount of underdeveloped hairs, and treatments that thicken fine hairs might work for those with mild to severe conditions.

UV dermoscopy helps detect white hairs in children more effectively.
research Pigmentation of regenerated hairs after wounding
Regenerated hairs can regain their color if the wound occurs during a certain stage of hair growth, and this process is helped by specific skin cells and proteins.
research Pitfalls of mapping a large Turkish consanguineous family with vertical monilethrix inheritance.
A mutation in the KRT86 gene causes hair fragility in a Turkish family.
