Forty-two participants were analyzed 16 "bare to hair" crossovers, 16 "hair-to-bare" crossovers, and 10 controls. The microbiome varied by sample type vaginal swabs had the lowest alpha diversity and catheterized urine had the highest (P 0.001). At baseline, there were no differences in the alpha or beta diversity of urine or vaginal microbiomes between groups. Vaginal beta diversity at visit 2 was greater within crossovers than controls (P = 0.004), suggesting that altering hair status alters the microbiome composition. Urina
