ABSTRACT
We report a case of woolly hair. Woolly hair is found frequently in most blacks but is unusual in individuals of non-negroid origin. A 12-year-old female patient visited our clinic complaining of a hair abnormality. It had been tightly curled, fine, light brown, short and easily broken since birth. On scanning electron microscopy, many of the hairs showed damaged cuticles with cuticular splintering, and most hair shafts were round to oval on cross sectional examination.
