Bad Hair Life



Unfortunately I can't blame my bad hair on genetics but some can. Uncombable hair syndrome is a real condition that I came across on boingboing. Apparently it is due to a triangular shaped hair shaft (see electron microscopy) and can be sporadic or inherited. (Anonymous Coward, it only affects hair on the head.
Personally I think it looks awesome.

unfortunately it seems to be associated with mild mental retardation. I could not find what the gene region was on OMIM , but it did have this funny observation: " [The] unusually fine, frizzy, almost white hair did not tolerate combing; brushing her hair resulted in a 'kind of aureole' with a 'strange effect.' Examination over several months confirmed that her hair never varied in length."
