Born with “Exploding Hair”? It Might Be Uncombable Hair Syndrome!

This rare genetic condition, also called “Uncombable Hair Syndrome,” causes hair to grow in all directions—dry, frizzy, and hard to tame. While it’s harmless to physical health, it can lead to social challenges, especially for children.

👶 Common Traits:
Hair grows outward instead of down.
Dry, frizzy, and light-colored strands.
Often appears between 3 months to 12 years of age.

🧬 Cause:
Linked to mutations in hair-related genes (PADI3, TGM3, TCHH).

💆 Care Tips:
Use hair masks, oils, or conditioners to improve texture.
Embrace uniqueness while offering support to kids who feel self-conscious.

Famous note: Even Einstein is believed to have had this condition!
