Hair has not only socio-communication function, but it is also a barometer of the human psyche and the internal environment of the body. Hair may very well reflect the long-term condition of mental frame of mind, but also the general health status of the individuals. The main objective of the study was to identify possible links between pull test and some pathological, biochemical and haematological parameters – serum iron, ferritin, tranferin, vitamin B12, folic acid in patients with alopecia areata, telogen deffluvium and androgenetic alopecias in The Czech Republic
