This article discusses a rare pediatric case of loose anagen hair syndrome (LAS) in a 13-year-old girl, characterized by excessive hair shedding and sparse, unruly hair. LAS is a disorder of hair anchorage due to mutations affecting keratin, leading to defective adhesion between the hair shaft and root sheath. The diagnosis was confirmed through clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological findings. Despite treatment with topical minoxidil for 6 months, no significant improvement was observed. LAS often improves spontaneously with age, but responses to treatment can vary, highlighting the importance of early recognition and realistic counseling for patients and caregivers.
