Guide To The Symptoms And Treatment Of Uncombable Hair Syndrome

Grows in Different Directions

The majority of patients with uncombable hair syndrome have hair that grows in different directions. This feature of the hair can make washing, styling, and cutting it difficult, and patients may need to use special adaptations to make these tasks easier. For example, it may be difficult for patients to cut their own hair, and they should go to a stylist who has considerable experience. Some hairstyles, including bangs and braids, may not be possible for patients in the early years of this condition. However, ponytails are often possible to achieve, and many patients like to place barrettes, headbands, scarves, and ribbons in their hair. When styling hair, patients may be able to use some waxes and styling creams to simplify the process, and certain homemade products made with honey or other kitchen items could help too. Normally, the hair will settle down with time, and patients in adolescence may find their hair no longer grows in as many directions as it did when they were younger.
