Uncombed hair syndrome, also known as "pili trianguli et canaliculati," is a rare genetic condition characterized by dry, brittle hair with a triangular cross-section, giving it a distinctive unkempt appearance.
The importance of uncombed hair syndrome lies in its rarity and the unique structural abnormalities associated with the hair. It is a non-progressive condition, and affected individuals usually have normal hair growth and scalp health. Historically, uncombed hair syndrome has been a subject of interest for researchers studying hair biology and genetic disorders.
