Genetic basis of human scalp hair weight: a twin study. 1980

A B Das-Chaudhuri

Human scalp hair weight has been measured in 48 pairs of German twins of known zygosity. Variance analysis indicates a strong genetic component in variability in human scalp hair weight. No sex variation upon the character is found.
