Abstract
Uncombable hair is a benign entity with very peculiar and easily recognizable characteristics. The diagnostic suspicion is clinical and confirmation is made by an optical microscopy study of a sample of the patient's hair. A dermatological and ophthalmological evaluation are required. Its prognosis is favorable and good results are sometimes achieved with pyrithione zinc shampoo.
