This is not a joke!!
Yesterday I took Ryan and Austin to the doctor. They did height and weight, they are both growing well. Then doctor checked Austin out, asked him all kinds of funny questions like "what do you do with shoes?" And Austin had funny responses like, "Put them in the hang." Which is what we call the white bench that we store shoes in...Anyway, when Austin was all checkout, the doctor started looking at Ryan. He asked me some questions then started listening to him and looking him over. It was a little odd because he kept asking me questions about Ryan's hair, "has anyone ever cut it? has it always been like this? does anyone else in the family have hair like this?" It was all a little weird. So then he left and said that nurse would be in to give the boys their shots.
A few minutes later he comes back in with our normal doctor and has her look at Ryan's hair and she asks me all kinds of questions.
It turns out that there are Vitamin Deficiencies that will show up in the way a child's hair looks and they want me to take him to a dermatologist!!!
Uncombable hair syndrome, also known as
Pili trianguli et canaliculi and
Spun glass hair is a rare structural anomaly of the hair with a variable degree of effect. It has been discovered in the 1970's
[1] It becomes apparent from as little as 3 months to up to 12 years. The hair is normal in quantity and is usually silvery-blond or straw-colored. It is disorderly, it stands out from the scalp, and cannot be combed flat.
