Significance of hair root status method
Braun-Falco O, Heilgemeir GP
The significance of proposition of the hair root status method is reported. The percentage composition of the hair root patterns of neighboring areas of the capillitium and the behavior of the percentage of the individual hair root shapes were examined at time zero and 120 days later. These examinations were carried out in the frontal, parietal and occipital regions of each of 10 male test persons with clinically normal hair growth and statistically evaluated. The hair root pattern of neighboring areas is the same within the different regions of the capillitium. Thus the hair root patterns investigated in the different regions of the capillitium are representative of this respective region. The hair root patterns of males with clinically normal hair regrowth (for the frontal, parietal and occipital region) does not differ with time. Therefore, examination of the hair root pattern at four week intervals can be used for controlling the hair regrowth capacity and therapeutic effects. The significance of the hair root status method in treatment may be relative small in the individual case in a person with normal hair regrowth, but useful when evaluated in a collective of subjects.
