Clinicodemographic Features of Plica Neuropathica: A Cross-Sectional Prospective Study

Abstract Introduction: Plica neuropathica (PN) is an acquired hair disorder characterized by sudden onset, irreversible hair matting, which seems to be a compact hair mass with irregular twists. Aim and Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinicodemographic features of PN. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional prospective clinical research that included patients with PN. All the included patients were subjected to a detailed medical history of clinicodemographic data and clinical with trichoscopic examinations of the affected hair and scalp. Results: This study included 18 female patients with PN, with a mean age of 23.94 ± 7.9. All the patients presented with PN had acute onset and progressive course, psychological stressful factors preceding PN, negligence of hair care, no history of hair care product use, no history of hair straightening, no previous treatment preceding PN, and no history of systemic diseases. Recurrence of PN was reported in 4 (22.2%) patients. On trichoscopic evaluation, all patients were presented with normal scalp and matting of hair shaft with honey-colored concretions mimicking the “wrangled mesh of wires” appearance. Sixteen (88.9%) patients were treated with cutting hair mass. Most of the included patients reported very large and extremely large effects on the quality of life. Conclusion: This study concluded that PN is an uncommon acquired hair matting disorder prevalent in young age females. It is associated with marked impairment of the patient’s quality of life. Psychological stressful factors and negligence of hair care are the main risk factors for PN. Regular hair care measures are essential to prevent hair matting.

From Agriculture to Clinics: Unlocking the Potential of Magnetized Water for Planetary and Human Health.

Magnetized water (MW) is a form of liquid water that has been exposed to a magnetic field to alter its hydrogen bonding structure, resulting in the formation of water molecule clusters of various sizes and configurations connected by hydrogen bonds. This magnetization process induces several changes in the physicochemical properties of water, such as increased pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen content, as well as decreased surface tension, density, and evaporation temperature compared to untreated water. In this narrative review, we explore the effective utilization of MW in agriculture, where it has a well-established history of applications, and its potential for direct applications in the medical field, which are currently at the forefront of research. MW is one of the most promising innovations for facilitating the transition from unsustainable to sustainable agriculture, which is expected to yield positive human health outcomes by promoting the consumption of less processed foods and reducing resource consumption. In addition to these indirect effects on human health, preclinical research utilizing animal models has demonstrated that water magnetization exerts beneficial effects on diabetes, renal function, bone health, and fertility. These health benefits appear to stem from the ability of MW to increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes while decreasing lipid peroxidation and inflammatory markers. In terms of direct human applications, MW has been primarily studied in the fields of dentistry and dermatology. MW mouthrinse has consistently shown efficacy against Streptococcus mutans, with studies reporting comparable effects to chlorhexidine. In dermatology, the topical application of MW has demonstrated improvements in skin biophysical parameters, increased hair count and hair mass index, and promoted the healing of challenging wounds. Intriguingly, these effects on human skin seem to be mediated by local activation of autophagy, potentially through mild alkaline stress. In conclusion, this review underscores the promising role of MW in promoting a holistic approach to planetary and human health. Future studies should focus on standardizing the magnetization process, exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying MW-induced autophagy, and investigating the potential of MW as a complementary strategy for treating human diseases characterized by impaired autophagy.

A Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of Herbal Extract Combination Compared to 3% Minoxidil Solution for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled Trial

Background Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) affects both men and women. Standard treatments include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, which can cause undesirable side effects. Therefore, a natural herbal extract is required for an alternative treatment. Objectives This study aims to assess both the efficacy and safety profiles of an herbal extract comprising a combination of dihydroquercetin glucoside, epigallocatechin gallate glucoside, zinc, and glycine, compared to the minoxidil solution for the treatment of AGA. Methods About 30 males and 30 females were recruited. The males and females were divided equally into two groups (n=30), randomly receiving either a minoxidil solution or herbal extraction twice a day for 24 weeks. Clinical efficacy, total hair count, and hair mass index (HMI) were evaluated. Results A total of 30 males and 30 females completed the study. The total hair counts (hairs/cm2) at baseline in the herbal group and minoxidil group were 334.8±108.8 and 368.3±178.4, respectively, and the total hair counts at 24 weeks in the herbal group and minoxidil group were 345.0±119.2 and 391.5±183.1 (p<0.001, p<0.001), respectively. The HMI in the herbal and minoxidil groups significantly increased by 25.83±17.18 and 33.70±15.17 (p=0.001, p<0.001) at 24 weeks. However, there was no significant difference in total hair count and HMI between the two groups at 24 weeks (p= 0.250, p=0.065). No local adverse effects were observed in both groups. Conclusions The non-significant difference in efficacy and safety to minoxidil solution suggests that the herbal extraction could be an alternative treatment for AGA. Clinical Trial Registration Number TCTR20220927001.

Trichology to predict efficacy of scalp cooling: New pathologic insights besides encouraging clinical results.

12093 Background: Chemotherapy continues to be an essential element of tumour-specific systemic therapy. The associated hair loss impacts patients ‘quality of life in addition. Sensor-controlled scalp cooling has proven itself as a method of preventing alopecia. This study evaluates the grade of hair preservation as well as predictive factors, including (ultra)structural changes of the hair follicle during treatment, offering potential for enhanced therapeutic strategies. Methods: Scalp cooling, was evaluated in 81 patients (79 women, 2 men, median age 56 years) undergoing breast carcinoma treatment (4x EC 90/600 mg/m² BSA followed by 12x PAC w). Key outcomes included hair preservation (Hair Mass Index = HMI), avoidance of visible hair loss (HMI ≥ 50), and prevention of severe hair loss (all measured by Cross Section Trichometer). Parameters such as hair density (HMI), trichologic parameters like hair shaft and bulb diameter, anagen rate, shaft surface damage and melanosomes changes were measured through (ultrastructural) microscopy. Results: Over the half (53%) of patients avoided successfully noticeable hair loss (HMI post ≥ 50). Most important predictors of successful hair preservation in different analyses included lower post-therapeutic shaft surface damage (via scanning electron microscopy) (β = -.30, p = .034), larger pre-treatment shaft diameter (via light microscopy) (OR = 1.11, p = .011), and stable melanosome density (via transmission electron microscopy) (β = .35, p = .013). Higher anagen ratio (β = .30, p = 0.009) and larger hair shaft diameter (β = .29, p=0,023) plays a crucial role in hair prevention, considering only light-microspcopic parameters. Comorbidity (OR = 0.12, p = .024) and alopecia causing medication (e.g. antihypertensiva) (β = -.31, p = .017) led to increased hair loss. Patients with fewer hair loss over the course reported higher quality of life (r = .25, p = .042) and lower psychological burden (r = -.42, p < .001). Data indicate that optimal pre-therapeutic hair density (HMI =/> 69), coupled with the absence of comorbidities and alopecia-inducing medications, substantially enhances the efficacy of scalp cooling, elevating the probability of preventing severe hair loss (HMI ≥ 50) by nearly sevenfold (OR = 6.98, CI95% [1.01;48.33]. Conclusions: Scalp cooling proves effective in preventing visible hair loss in 53% of patients, with mini-organ (hair follicle) characteristics influencing outcomes. It does not only prevent hair loss but also enhances quality of life, underscoring the need for personalized approaches in managing chemotherapy-induced alopecia. The study confirms the method's safety and effectiveness without increasing scalp metastasis risk.

Topically Applied Magnetized Saline Water Activates Autophagy in the Scalp and Increases Hair Count and Hair Mass Index in Men With Mild-to-Moderate Androgenetic Alopecia.

Introduction Water is essential for life and is vital for almost all functions of the human body. Recent studies have shown that treating water with magnets can alter its physicochemicalproperties, including intracluster bonds and water-ion interactions. Magnetized water also undergoes modifications in its physicochemical characteristics, such as pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. While there is a significant amount of literature on the use of magnetized water in agricultural settings, research on its potential biomedical applications is still limited. Based on previous findings indicating a potential relationship between autophagy activation and hair loss reversal, a pilot study was designed to explore the effects of topically applied magnetized saline water in patients with androgenetic alopecia. The hypothesis was that the process of water magnetization, which promotes the creation of hydroxyl ions, could potentially induce hair growth through the induction of alkali-induced autophagy in the scalp. Methods We recruited 20 Caucasian men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia (Norwood-Hamilton stages II-III). Initially, we conducted a 12-week open-label study to evaluate the potential of a topical lotion containing 95% magnetized saline water (2 mL applied once daily) to increase hair count and hair mass index (HMI). Subsequently, we investigated the effect of the lotion on two autophagy markers (Beclin-1 and LC3B) in scalp biopsies from a subgroup of 10 men. Results Hair count significantly increased after 12 weeks of topical treatment with magnetized saline water (from 20.6 ± 9.8 at baseline to 32.5 ± 12.4 at 12 weeks, P < 0.001). Similarly, the mean HMI increased from 37.8 ± 11.4 at baseline to 45.1 ± 13.6 at 12 weeks (P < 0.01). At the molecular level, the topical lotion effectively increased Beclin-1 levels in scalp biopsies by 44% at 12 weeks as compared to the baseline. Similarly, LC3B levels increased by 36% from baseline to 12 weeks, indicating that the lotion effectively activated autophagy in the scalp. Conclusions After 12 weeks of topical treatment, a lotion containing magnetized saline water activated scalp autophagy and significantly increased hair count and HMI in men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia.

4 years institutional experience in the management of Trichobezoar: About 5 Cases

Background: Trichobezoar is an uncommon clinical entity in which ingested hair mass accumulates within the digestive tract. Trichobezoars are usually located in the stomach, but may extend through the pylorus into the duodenum and small bowel (Rapunzel syndrome). This entity is usually associated with trichotillomania and trichophagia or other psychiatric disorders. It is generally observed in children and young females with psychological disorders. Untreated cases may lead to grave complications. We present our experience with five patients and provide a review of the recent literature. Material and Methods: We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of five patients treated for trichobezoar in pediatric surgery department during 4-year-period between 2018 and 2022. Their medical charts were reviewed with respect to symptoms, diagnostic procedures including any Imaging (abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography) or upper GI endoscopy and treatment.

A rare cause of intestinal obstruction in children trichobezoar: How to diagnose?

Trichobezoar is a rare clinical condition in children, which is caused by the accumulation of swallowed hair mass in the digestive tract. This condition is most common in young women with psychiatric histories who suffer from trichotillomania (TTM), where they have an irresistible urge to pull out their hair. Diagnosis and treatment of this pathology, which is already extremely rare, and its variable clinical presentations are challenging. The aim of this study was to increase awareness of trichobezoar in the differential diagnosis of signs of intestinal obstruction in children and to evaluate the diagnosis and management of this rare pathology. The clinical data of six patients who were treated for trichobezoars in the pediatric surgery department of our hospital between 2009 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Six female patients were treated with the diagnosis of trichobezoar during this period. Patients were diagnosed with the help of anamnesis, physical examination, abdominal ultrasonography (USG), and finally, endoscopy. USG can predict the intestinal wall infiltration and the tail extended to the duodenum through pylorus in the series. All patients were evaluated with contrast-enhanced abdominal radiography. Five surgical interventions were performed in four of the cases. In a case who underwent surgery twice, the distal intestinal satellite bezoar was not noticed in the first operation. Two patients were diagnosed to have trichobezoar, but surgery was not required. These patients were younger and had early-onset TTM (before 10 years old). The patients were followed for an average of 10.8 years and no recurrence was detected. Trichobezoar is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in children with fatal complications when diagnosed late. Failure to follow an algorithm for the management of the disease causes difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment. Especially in pa-tients with a known psychiatric history, whole abdominal USG and laparoscopy performed with awareness can prevent unnecessary examinations.

Formulation of Cinchona Extract (Cinchona succirubra) Cream and The Safety as Hair Fertilizer

Background: cinchona extract contains quinoline alkaloids, has telangiectatic activity, is practically insoluble in water so penetration into hair follicles is low and requires a delivery system, namely cream. Objective: to determine the formula of cinchona extract cream with good activity, physical stability and safety. Methodology: cinchona bark extraction (soxhletation method), phytochemical screening, cinchona extract dosage determination, optimization of cream formula using Design Expert software version 11. Evaluation: pH, adhesion, spreadability, viscosity and cycling test stability. Activity test using guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) for 14 days, parameters of hair length/2 days, hair mass (14th day). Acute dermal irritation test using rabbit (Orycogalus cuniculus) by erythema and edema index parameters. Results: cinchona extract (13.32% yield) contained quinoline alkaloids, cinchona extract dosage was 20% (p&lt;0.05). The optimum formula is F2 with characteristics: pH 6.48±0.07, adhesion 1.16±0.07, spreadability 4.99±0.85 and viscosity 3067±416.45, has good physical stability. Activity test: test area hair length 13.54 – 62.14% longer than normal control and 10.10 – 49.17% than negative control. The hair mass of test area was 122.91% heavier than normal control and 104.48% of negative control (p&lt;0.05). Cinchona extract and excipients were non-irritant. Conclusion: Cinchona extract cream (20%) has hair fertilizer activity, good physical stability and safety.

Management of trichobezoar: About 6 cases.

Background:Trichobezoar is an uncommon clinical entity in which ingested hair mass accumulates within the digestive tract. It is generally observed in children and young females with psychological disorders. It can either be found as an isolated mass in the stomach or may extend into the intestine. Untreated cases may lead to grave complications.Material and Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of six patients treated for trichobezoar in Monastir pediatric surgery department during 16-year-period between 2004 and 2019. Imaging (abdominal computed tomography and upper gastroduodenal opacification) and gastroduodenal endoscopy were tools of diagnosis.Results:Our study involved 6 girls aged 4 to 12. Symptoms were epigastric pain associated with vomiting of recently ingested food in 3 cases and weight loss in one case. Physical examination found a hard epigastric mass in all cases. The trichobezoar was confined to the stomach in 4 cases. An extension into the jejunum was observed in 2 cases. Surgery was indicated in all patients. In two cases, the attempt of endoscopic extraction failed and patients were then operated on. All patients had gastrotomy to extract the whole bezoar even those with jejunal extension. Psychiatric follow-up was indicated in all cases. The six girls have evolved well and did not present any recurrence.Conclusion:open surgery still plays a crucial role in Trichobezoard management . After successful treatment, psychiatric consultation is imperative to prevent reccurrence and improve long term prognosis

A NEW PERIOD PROPOSAL FOR PUBLISHED FEMALE PORTRAIT

Due to the similarity of the hairdressing fashion on female head with the portraits of Domitia Longina written by J. Inan and E. A. Rosenbaum who have important studies about Roman imperial portrait art, Flavian Dynasty period was proposed directly. In the study in 1979, no typological distinction was made among the portraits of Domitia Longina and Domitia Longina portraits were limited to the Flavian Dynasty. Hairdressing fashion in the form of a spongy mass of hair, which is very important in identifying and dating this period, also looks like a wreath-like hair mass in Istanbul piece. This hair style is not similar to the hairdressing fashion of the portraits of Iulia Titi and Domitia Longina during the Flavian Dynasty. It is similar to the portraits of Domitia Longina in IIIrd type who was honoured after the Flavian Dynasty and of whom portraits were made with new hair fashion. Although this new hair fashion, which is dated to Nerva - Early Traianus period, is reminiscent of the Flavian Dynasty in essence, this hairdressing fashion in which the hair tresses are portraited more exaggerated should be dated after the Flavian Dynasty. Key Words: Portrait, Domitia Longina, IIIrd type, Nerva - Early Traianus period

Usefulness of PRP Therapy in Androgenic Alopecia

Alopecia means loss of hair. Primarily there are two types of alopecia. Non-cicatricial alopecia and Cicatricial alopecia. Androgenic alopecia is non cicatricial localized alopecia and displays relatively high rates of occurrence in both men and women. Injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have shown to be a successful regenerative treatment for androgenic alopecia. It is a well-tolerated procedure and easy to perform. The objective clinical results are good. It is safe and non-allergenic. In our institution, more than 300 patients were given PRP and their terminal hair mass, hair texture, anagen/telogen hair ratio, keratinocyte proliferation, blood vessel density, and other factors were assessed. More than 85 percent of patients who underwent PRP treatment, had a very positive outcome.

Hairy magnetic and dyonic black holes in the Standard Model

Spherically symmetric magnetic and dyonic black holes with a magnetic charge Q = 2 are studied in the Standard Model and general relativity. A magnetically charged black hole with mass below 9.3 × 1035 GeV has a “hairy” cloud of electroweak gauge and Higgs fields outside the event horizon with 1/mW in size. An extremal magnetic black hole has a hair mass of 3.6 TeV, while an extremal dyonic black hole has an additional mass of q2 × 1.6 GeV for a small electric charge q ≪ 2π/e2. A hairy dyonic black hole with an integer charge is not stable and can decay into a magnetic one plus charged fermions. On the other hand, a hairy magnetic black hole can evolve via Hawking radiation into a nearly extremal one that is cosmologically stable and an interesting object to be searched for.

Monofilament threads in treatment of female hair loss

Background Recently, thread treatment has been commonly used in Korean medicine for cosmetic reasons such as decreasing skin wrinkles. It was noted that an inserted thread caused constant stimulation, followed by assistance for connective tissue regeneration. However, its role in hair development has not yet been revealed. Objective To perform a pilot study on the effect of monofilament threads scalp injections in women with female androgenetic alopecia. Materials and methods This double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study compared the effect of monofilament threads with that of saline as placebo. The endpoints were hair count and hair mass index (HMI), along with patient-opinion survey responses. Results HMI or hair count has statistically significantly differed between the study and placebo groups. However, 73.3% of the treatment subjects (vs. 0% of the placebo subjects) experienced substantial improvement in hair loss, rate of hair loss, hair thickness, and ease of managing/styling hair, and 76.8% (vs. 18.4% of the placebo group) reported that their hair felt coarser or heavier after the treatment. Conclusion Monofilament threads demonstrate highly statistically significant improvement in HMI or hair count in women female pattern hair loss. The patient survey results suggest a therapeutic advantage of monofilament threads as perceived by patients and according to hair count or HMI.

HairMeasure: A Cost-Effective Device for Measuring Hair Mass Index

Introduction: In 2001, Arnold coined the term “Hair Mass Index” (HMI).1 HMI is an accurate measurement that allows you to calculate the amount of, and thickness of, hair on areas of the scalp by dividing hair mass by the area from which hair is isolated. The HMI has advantages in terms of early detection of miniaturization, hair growth measurement, and hair breakage. HairCheck, a device currently available to measure HMI, is expensive because it requires disposable material for every measurement. Thus, we present the economical “HairMeasure” and “Scalp Zone Identifier” devices that do not require disposable material. Objective: To design a mechanical device that precisely measures the cross-sectional area of a bundle of hair and a device that can precisely delineate an area of scalp for successive examination. Material & Methods: A thin metal sheet is used to make the “HairMeasure” device, which is then mounted on one of the arms of a vernier caliper. Using a “Scalp Zone Identifier,” the hair bundle to be measured is isolated. This hair bundle is parked in the slot of HairMeasure and the thickness of the hair bundle is measured by digital vernier caliper. Successive readings are taken in the same way. The Scalp Zone Identifier assists in identifying the same scalp zone without any tattoo markings over the scalp. Conclusion: The “HairMeasure” and “Scalp Zone Identifier,” which don9t require disposable material, are economical devices for calculating HMI and locating the scalp zone area for examination without any tattoo marking.

Invited Commentary

The Garg HairMeasure device employs the same concept as HairCheck. It attempts to measure hair mass, a combination of hair density and hair diameter. It measures the cross-sectional area of a hair bundle captured from a pre-measured area of scalp skin. Unfortunately, the captured hair bundle is soft

Synthesis and characterization of activated carbon produced from waste human hair mass using chemical activation

In this study, hair waste was converted into active carbon for the first time and its characteristics were analyzed. As chemical activation tool, zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was impregnated and then carbonized under different temperatures (250–300 °C). Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images showed an increase in the pore density, radius and volume of pores. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) showed that the samples had an amorphous structure. In Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscope analysis, C=C and N–H vibrations observed in 1515–1520 cm−1 wave number of protein molecules were found to disappear with the increase in temperature. With Raman spectroscopy, the behaviors of D peak at 1344 cm−1 wave number and G peak at 1566 cm−1 wave number expressing structure layout in carbonized structures were analyzed depending on the temperatures. Between these intensities, (ID/IG) the rate was found to differ in direct proportion to temperature. XRD spectrums showed that the samples are converted into a more irregular crystal structure. All these results implied that the waste hair mass could be used as an adsorbant material.

A Side-by-Side Study of FUT vs. FUE Graft Availability in the Same Patients and Its Implications on Lifetime Donor Supply and Management

Introduction: One of a patient9s most important goals is meeting expectations of coverage and density. Limited donor supply is a handicap in many patients with respect to achieving this goal. Choosing an approach that maximizes lifetime donor supply would be beneficial. Controversy exists over which technique, or combination of techniques, is best for maximizing donor supply. Some feel that FUE alone is sufficient, while others feel that the use of FUT in combination with FUE may be better in patients requiring greater numbers of grafts. Objective: The goal of this study is to get a better understanding of the difference in donor supply available with FUE only, FUT only, or Combination (“combo”) FUT/FUE. Study Design: A side-by-side study was done in which two patients had FUE only harvested from one side (half) of the head, and FUT only from the other side (half). This “side by side” harvesting was done two times one year apart. The number of hair (grafts) obtained per technique on each side (after two sessions) was recorded along with the “residual hair” density on both sides. From this data, the total amount of hair that FUE only, FUT only, and Combination FUT/FUE could potentially obtain was calculated and compared. Hair Mass Index and Coverage Value were also determined to support the findings. Conclusion: More hair and grafts were obtained using combination FUT followed by FUE than by either technique alone. Although many practitioners feel that using FUE only can take care of the hair loss needs of most patients, there may yet be a population of patients who will benefit from the ability to harvest a higher number of grafts. It is important for hair transplant surgeons to have options available to give patients maximal donor if desired.

Hair distributions in noncommutative Einstein-Born-Infeld black holes

We study hair mass distributions in noncommutative Einstein-Born-Infeld hairy black holes with non-zero cosmological constants. We find that the larger noncommutative parameter makes the hair easier to condense in the near horizon area. We also show that Hod's lower bound can be evaded in the noncommutative gravity. However, for large black holes with a non-negative cosmological constant, Hod's lower hair mass bound almost holds in the sense that nearly half of the hair lays above the photonsphere.

Preparation of Hair Treatments Containing Flaxseed oil and Their Protective Effects on Hair

Entering the 21st century, diverse cosmetology industries have rapidly developed. Concurrently, people’s interest in their appearance has gradually increased. The most common ways of expressing such outer appearance include skincare, nail care, hairstyling, makeup and clothing. Among them, hairstyling is one of the most important factors. In particular, once hair is damaged due to frequent coloring or perming, it is hard to restore its health. Therefore, the need for hair clinics that prevents such hair damage has been emphasized. With the current popularity of the ‘healthy lifestyle’, people have a greater preference for natural hair conditioners that are free of any harmful chemical ingredients. This study Hair treatments containing flaxseed oil were prepared and their properties were investigated. with natural flax seed oil and analyzed their hair protection effects. Each formulation was applied to hair, and changes were compared. When a flax seed oil hair conditioner, not a base one, was used, hair mass, thickness and tensile strength increased. According to a methylene blue (MB) coloring test, hair damage has improved. Such improvement was greater in bleached hair than in natural hair. When examined by electron microscope, as flax seed oil content increased, hair surface was smoother with better cuticle conditions.

Hair mass bound in the black hole with nonzero cosmological constants

We study mass bounds of Maxwell fields in RN black holes and genuine hair in Einstein-Born-Infeld black holes with various cosmological constants. It shows that the Maxwell field serves as a good probe to disclose the hair distribution described with the event horizon and the photonsphere. And we find that the Hod's lower bound obtained in asymptotically flat space also holds in the asymptotically dS Einstein-Born-Infeld hairy black holes. In contrast, the Hod's lower bound can be invaded in the asymptotically AdS Einstein-Born-Infeld hairy black holes. It implies that the AdS boundary could make the Born-Infeld hair easier to condense in the near horizon area.
