Uncombable Hair Syndrome

Did you know that Uncombable hair syndrome is a genetic condition that causes child’s hair to grow in a way that can’t be flattened down with a comb. This happens because child’s hair grows in multiple directions instead of down. Hair may be a lighter tone, dry and frizzy. The hair on the rest of child’s body grows as expected and the condition only affects the hair on child’’s scalp. The condition resolves itself over time. Mutation in one of the the following genes causes this condition: PADI3, TGM3, TCHH. These genes provide instructions that tell your hair strands to grow in a cylindrical shape, which is the same shape as a tin can. The cylinder shape guides your hair to grow in one direction out of your hair follicle, similar to how a vase holds a flower to help it grow upright. What about former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson - let’s look at his photographs in his youth, as you can see, he didn’t have any problems, he’s just a clown who decided to save money on a hairdresser.
