A member asked:
Can you tell me about "uncombable hair syndrome"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Odd variant: This is a curious anomaly in which hair shafts are triangular and won't lie flat. It's probably genetic though this is poorly understood. This may be part of a genetic syndrome like ectodermal dysplasia, or may occur by itself.
