HOW ARE HAIR FOLLICLES ARRANGED?
Follicle arrangements
Hair follicles normally emerge from the scalp in groups of 1, 2 or 3 haired "bundles." They don't all emerge as single strands.
During the process of genetic hair loss as well as during the process of scarring alopecias, the bundles of 2 and 3 haired follicular units start disappearing from the scalp and what is left is 1 and 2 haired follicular units.
