What Is 'Uncombable Hair Syndrome?'

[@virginiamathis6911]

Saw a video the other day with a grown woman with this condition. She went to a black beauty shop and they tamed the woman's hair. It was amazing!

I just watched a show on a grown woman with this. It was on TLC. Basically, you treat it like extremely curly hair and flood it with moisture and style it in sections, the way you would 4C hair. That's not to say 4C is uncombable, just that it's got the best method to help.

No matter what they tried it didn’t work, it’s literally untameable until they outgrow it. When and if they outgrow it still takes a while to grow out the uncombable hair out but then is when it will start softening and becoming more tameable and start to lay down.

[@AmyEugene]

@@Rina-jl6yb Everything was normal in the 80s, it's only when younger kids and new things came along since then that the world became as crazy as it is now. In the 80s people wanted to look attractive or outrageous and to do either required spending time in the morning to create your look. A hairstyle with volume was preferred over flat, straight hair and people would use a lot of hair products and styling methods to get their hair into unnatural arrangements. The less natural your hair looked, the more obvious it was that you had put a lot of effort into your hairstyle and you were given at least a minimal amount of social credit for not looking like you just rolled out of bed and walked out the door. Because it is very difficult to make straight thin and fine hair look voluminous and stand away from the head instead of wisps of hair stuck to the scalp, women who could style this type of hair into fluffy, airy miracles were considered the most skilled hairdressers. It took many women thousands of hours of practice to become experts in teasing and backcombing and some skills, like knowing exactly how much hair spray to spray and where to spray it, those were more intuition and can't be taught. Trust me, my mom was one of those women. She started out in high school making bee-hives or bouffants with her friends in the 60's and by the time I was in elementary school in the 80's, she owned every method of curl maker available from the drug store. My straight, thin, fine hair defeated every method though and refused to hold a curl. So, instead I engaged in the once every 3 months ritual of getting a perm until the 80's officially ended in 1992.

FINALLY! A video about kids with a HARMLESS condition! Lowkey they look so silly and wild with that hair I love it 🫰😔

[@MinkaSchlossberger4ever]

They have similar faces,too! But so very sweet!!! Little Angels!!! My son , the middle one, had hair like this.When puberty hit, he grew the most Beautyful curls....and a lot of them!!!!!

[@rhyswong8976]

With that hair, they make a great rock band.

[@SteviiLove]

I actually know someone with this.

[@cielitagarcia6489]

Is it me or is that mom brushing it up?

[@wilinafranklin5903]

It probably hurts

[@Miss.831]

All you need is a comb, brush, and some combat gel lol. 😂

[@thankmelater90210]

They need something more healthier for babies gel isn't always healthy for any hair!

[@emmachamberlainsicedalmond619]

@@thankmelater90210wait can I ask what is wrong with gel? I’m scared now 😭

[@KeshLenae]

Exactly...And a ponytail scrunchie 🤭

[@ColdCreekB]

⁠@@emmachamberlainsicedalmond619well it depends on the gel. So many gels contain alcohol, which dries your hair out. A moisturizing cream would be better, but doesn’t hold a style as well as a gel might.

[@joycehaines2055]

My hair at 80 after I wash it. Got to curl it to manage, probably why people invented permanents. Which really fries it. Strawberry blonde was mine. One daughter was brunette other was white haired. Very pretty girls.

[@lesleerodriguez1892]

I had this as a kid. My first sentence was " don't touch my hair".

I have a friend, and his son has this. He was in studies for it. Also, these kids often look like each other. I'm a hairdresser and his son was the only one had ever been in contact with this condition. I read all the information I could find about it. It's fascinating! They're so cute!!!

[@mrsx7944]

Stop lying. Everyone is making the same claim.

[@hazelchief-rabbit5903]

​@@mrsx7944stop assuming. You don't know this person

[@bonnieanderson2186]

“Unstylable” sounds more like it, but then again in the right stylist’s hands their hair would be totally “stylable” 😊.

[@danielgoodrich264]

My old school refused to admit a girl with that hair unless she shaved it and wore a wig remember this was the 80's.

[@eileenmcdonald1599]

That school would have not been open

[@danielgoodrich264]

@@eileenmcdonald1599 While I agree it shouldn't have been open remember it was before the internet was easily available. It was also the last dying gasps of an era where if those in power said it you DID NOT question it EVER. Hell back then school rules about prescription meds to be taken at school were so insane doctors routinely told kids to take em outside of school grounds whenever possible.

[@jessicaellina3878]

I think they look absolutely adorable💗💗💗

[@rashidahr4043]

That's what I said also...so cute 😍

[@Charlate]

They look like the the Lorax would protect them

[@EvangelineMcEown]

Headbands, barrettes, bobby pins, hairbands & curling iron to shape the sides, medium hold aerosol hairspray. Try doing 2 spikey ponytails on top, that's always adorable 😊.

I think someone needs to do a film about Boris Johnson having this condition too.... It's definitely the wirey mad professor look. Suited Einstein as well as the guy who was the doc in back to the future films too...

[@robincrass6968]

He was my first thought too

[@TheFeldhamster]

Hahaha, was going to post exactly this - hair like Boris Johnson.

[@durgaclt5204]

You're right 😱😱😂

[@Charlie.Sattler]

Actually, Albert Einstein did not have this. He simply just chose to not comb his hair.

[@Noctessa]

Something just like this runs in our family but were Native American and German. My mom tried everything and once she ran into a woman with an Asian baby with the same issue all they could do is laugh and hug each other lol each knowing the other's struggles. Its been passed down throughout our family in every generation, we just accept it and actually embrace it lol

[@theshadowfax239]

Well that's pretty remarkable considering they said it only affects blondes.

[@Noctessa]

@@theshadowfax239 it is pretty remarkable, thanks for agreeing with me.

[@heatheryearwood9199]

Heavens Angels have hair growing straight up ....

[@AZHITW]

Lots of Asian babies have hair that stands straight up when they're born, I did and I'm only half Japanese.

My hair was like that. I am a Strawberry blonde, I have pictures of my hair stocking up everywhere, but I looked so cute. Kids were mean at school. I grew my hair long so I could put it up on my head.

I swear Boris bleeding Johnson has this

[@wonkydonkey8349]

He does

[@trnigyul]

Not the 'bleeding'😂😂😂😂😂

Holy hell, I think you're actually on to something. It's the only thing that makes sense

[@Bedmoments]

Yes he does have this.

[@aba687]

@@Bedmoments There is no proof of this,hes never admitted to it,but i think he does.

All three with the same syndrome and living close to each other? I’m curious…

[@imhuemankeepURcolorsforcrayons]

Might be close relatives and not even know it!

[@Islandgil]

Lolololol. No doubt and they all look alike . Hummmm

[@m.c.ruckus2032]

Hey, I used to have that exact same hair syndrome! Except in MY case, it started around 1983 just before entering High School, right about the time I started getting into heavy metal. I was cured of the affliction some time after graduation...

[@eileenmcdonald1599]

Then you had other issues
