Answer: As our hairs miniaturize they become thinner in diameter and lose their pigment There are ethnic variations as well as individual variations in diameter, quality, texture, color, and curl of hair. As our hairs miniaturize they become thinner in diameter and lose their pigment. The differences seen could be from natural hair cycles of shedding, or hair loss is being experienced.

Answer: Hair calibre Hairs are normally similar in calibre but not all the exact same calibre. Individuals with telogen effluvium may experience a variation in size from new hair growth. Individuals with traction alopecia will also experience miniaturization of hairs and so will individuals with alopecia areata. Individuals with genetic hair loss also have miniaturization. But unless a person has telogen effluvium, traction, alopecia areata or genetic hair loss, the hairs are similar size. Generally, a cut off of 20 % is set as the number of follicles of reduced calibre that indicates androgenetic alopecia.
