GlossaryWoolly Hair

rare genetic condition with tightly coiled, fragile hair

Woolly hair is a rare genetic condition characterized by tightly coiled, curly hair that resembles wool. This hair type is often fragile and prone to breakage. It can occur as an isolated trait or be associated with other conditions, such as Naxos disease, which also involves heart and skin abnormalities.
