    GlossaryTapered Hairs

    refer to strands that thin from root to tip

    Tapered hairs refer to hair strands that gradually decrease in diameter from the root to the tip, giving them a conical shape. This natural tapering can be an indicator of healthy hair growth, as newly growing hairs often exhibit this characteristic. In the context of alopecia or hair loss conditions, the presence of tapered hairs can help dermatologists assess the stage and pattern of hair regrowth.
