Hair Splitting

Split hair is a type of trichological problem in which the hair shafts break, forming sections at the tip of the hair. This type of hair loss is a symptom of many different medical conditions or conditions. Here's what you can learn about this condition in the next section.

Hair splitting usually occurs in the form of multiple and independent transverse or longitudinal areas of hair failure, known as trichoclasia. Trichoclasias are divided by thin lines or wavy edges into small sections of the hair structure. These sections can be anywhere from one to several millimeters in size, and over time can increase in proportion to the degree of damage resulting from this disorder of hair follicle development.

One of the most common types of trichoclasia is known as diffuse or nodular trichoclasia. Some knots of these knots may contain melanin, which gives the hair a distinct brown tint, or conversely, some knots may lack pigment dye entirely, as shown in the image above. Although the differentiation between nodular and nodular trichoclasias is only a rough demarcation, there are several distinctive features to distinguish. Nodular trichoclasias typically have more uniform hair colors, and the nodules are typically flatter, thinner, less distinguishable, or more prominent in nature. On the other hand, nodular trichoclasia is a term that defines an area of ​​pigment heterogeneity along the entire length of the hair. They usually have a clear visual demarcation at the node area (like multiple node eyebrows or colored skin) visible to the naked eye.

Although trichoclasia does not always indicate a dangerous or serious disease, the corresponding
