uncombable hair syndrome
A rare disorder, typically identified in childhood, in which hair grows in unruly bundles, sometimes called a “spun glass arrangement.” The hair is dry, shiny, or blond, and easily broken. Cross-sectioning often reveals a triangular or grooved shaft. The condition is often associated with other birth defects.
