People with a tendency to curl may get frustrated if the hairstyle only lasts a few hours. So many. However, they will always have the consolation that they do not have unruly hair syndrome. Because yes, oddly enough, this is a real syndrome, of which only about 100 cases are known in the world.
The advantage of unruly hair syndrome is that it is not serious. It carries no symptoms other than what its name indicates. Also, usually disappears by adolescenceeven as the complexes could start. It’s good that it “only” affects the hair on the head. The bad news is that children who suffer from it and adults who help them comb their hair usually have it. Quite complex.
As for its origin, although it is not exactly known, it’s like geneticspossible with autosomal recessive inheritance. With this type of inheritance, both parents must have the disease in order for it to manifest itself in offspring. This could explain why many children develop unruly hair syndrome when there were no known cases in immediately preceding generations. But what else do we know about him?
This is the uncombable hair syndrome.
Actually, the original name of this syndrome Drank triangles and tubules. I must admit that it sounds rather comical and it is very difficult to remember it. For this reason, he was baptized with a new name, which gives what it promises. Hair that cannot be combed.
Unruly hair syndrome was first reported and described in the 1970s, and today there are only about 100 known cases. If you look at the hair of these people under a light microscope, they look like normal hair. However, if you are using an electron microscope, you can already see very characteristic stem, with a triangular diameter.
As a result, the hair looks dry and instead of growing down, grows back. In addition, it is curious that the color is usually very similar in all patients who normally have dark hair. very light brown or blond. However, contrary to what one might expect, hair is not brittle and does not fall out.
In addition, the entire mane is not affected. As a rule, people with unruly hair syndrome suffer at least 50% head hairbut they can also be normal.
There is no cure, although some studies indicate some improvement with use biotin shampoos. In any case, the disease usually resolves spontaneously before puberty, so lifelong treatment is not required.
It can also accompany other diseases.
Usually, unruly hair syndrome tends to occur on its own, with no other symptoms. However, in some cases, it may accompany other diseases, such as ectodermal dysplasia, or angeloid epiphyseal phalangeal dysplasia.
Both rare diseases of genetic origin, in some cases of which uncombable hair has been described among its symptoms. But this is not the most common.
In a word, unruly hair syndrome is a fairly harmless condition that should not bother parents of children in whom it can begin to manifest itself with 3 months. Since the disease resolves during adolescence, it is not usually seen in adults. There was talk that there might be a certain underdiagnosis and that some deceased characters such as Albert Einstein and living characters such as Boris Johnson have the syndrome. But precisely because of the age problem, this seems unlikely. After all, there are also people who inherit excessively dirty hair, and no disease can explain it.
