BRIGHT Keele University N 1906 a South African newspaper, The Prince, published a picture of Ia Chinese man’s scalp, which it had bought from an ex-prisoner. According to the original newspaper account and the subsequent government investigation, staff and prisoners were scalping Chinese men in the morgue on demand since at least May 1906, and selling them to colonial officials.1 ‘Queues’ were also being taken from living Chinese prisoners.2 The one sold to the newspaper was traced back to the execution of two Chinese prisoners at Pretoria Jail. When exhumed, both had been scalped. Prisoner witnesses attested that the 1 The Prince, 29 September 1906, 1116 had a photograph of the scalp (the front page), and 1118–1119 the story.

Why? Because a good haircut serves as the foundation of most every other service offered in the salon. Compare it to building your dream home. You envision the finished product. You imagine the style you will use to furnish it. You then hire an architect (the stylist) to create the floor plan. Then you contract with a builder (the stylist) to construct the home. Now, if the builder establishes a weak foundation made of sand or clay, the home will not stand. A solid foundation, however, like the haircut, will serve as the sound base for the beautifully created home (or hairstyle)! In addition, every member of the family avails themselves to regular haircuts. Therefore, it is a tremendous source of revenue and repeat business.

    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 12 The Open Dermatology Journal, 2015, 9, 12-20 Open Access Trichoscopy Simplified Ebtisam Elghblawi* Dermatology OPD, STJTL, Tripoli, Libya Abstract: It has been a long while since skin surfaces and skin lesions have been examined by dermoscopy. However examining the hair and the scalp was done again recently and gained attention and slight popularity by the practical tool, namely trichoscopy, which can be called in a simplified way as a dermoscopy of the hair and the scalp. Trichoscopy is a great tool to examine and asses an active scalp disease and hair and other signs can be specific for some scalp and hair diseases. These signs include yellow dots, dystrophic hairs, cadaverized (black dots), white dots and exclamation mark hairs. Trichoscopy magnifies hair shafts at higher resolution to enable detailed examinations with measurements that a naked eye cannot distinguish nor see. Trichoscope is considered recently the newest frontier for the diagnosis of hair and scalp disease. Aim of this paper. The aim of this paper is to simplify and sum up the main trichoscopic readings and findings of hair and scalp disorders that are commonly encountered at clinic dermatology settings. Keywords: Dermoscopy, diagnosis, hair, hair loss, scalp dermoscopy, trichoscopy. INTRODUCTION Any dermatology clinic will be quite busy and in many instances faced with many patients mostly women complaining of hair loss, which can have significant effects on their self-esteem and quality of life. A normal terminal hair is identical in thickness and colour right through its length (Fig. 1). The width of normal hairs is usually more than 55 mm.
