Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hair density traits, including follicular unit density (FUD) and hairs per follicular unit (HFU), are influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Understanding these determinants can refine our knowledge of hair growth patterns and enable more targeted interventions. Historically, large-scale research has been constrained by difficulties in precise phenotyping.
