Overview

Historical Perspective

Excessive hair often stems from what is considered the “ideal hair pattern” within the culture and society.

In the United States, “ideal” is considered as no terminal hair except for the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubis . The terms hirsutism and hypertrichiosis are sometimes used interchangeably. However, hypertrichiosis is defined as excessive hair growth, terminal or vellus, in non-androgen-dependent areas of the body. Hypertrichiosis can be congenital or acquired.[1]
