Kinky hair syndrome (noun), also termed "uncombable hair syndrome," is a rare genetic disorder characterized by dry, frizzy, and unmanageable hair. It affects children primarily, often presenting at birth or within the first few years of life.
Despite its rarity, kinky hair syndrome holds relevance as it raises awareness about hair diversity and the importance of embracing natural hair textures. Historically, it has been associated with trichothiodystrophy, a broader genetic condition affecting multiple organ systems.
