Wooly hair syndrome, characterized by the distinctive texture of hair growth, particularly its resemblance to wool, is a rare genetic condition. Individuals with woolly hair syndrome often have tightly curled hair with increased thickness, giving it a "cottony" appearance.
Beyond its unique visual characteristics, woolly hair syndrome has important implications for hair care, hair growth patterns, and the study of hair biology. It has also led to advancements in understanding the genetic basis of hair development and the identification of associated mutations.
