Trichogram
A trichogram is a semi-intrusive method of hair analysis that involves plucking 50 to 100 hairs from different parts of the scalp, sticking them to a slide, and examining them under a microscope. The aim is to determine the rate of hair loss progression by establishing how much of your hair is in each of the three stages of the hair growth cycle, anagen (growth), catagen (transitional) and telogen (resting).
Description
Trichograms are essentially an examination of the form and structure of the hair, and a quantitative measure of the number of individual hair roots. They are helpful in studies on the dynamics of the human follicular cycle and understanding different hair disorders.
