TLDR Two sisters have rare hair disorders causing short, fragile, kinky hair.
This case study reports on two sisters exhibiting both Woolly hair and Monilethrix, rare autosomal dominant disorders. Woolly hair is characterized by short, kinked hair, while Monilethrix involves fragile hair leading to patchy alopecia. The sisters had shorter, dry, fine, light brown, kinky hair with a tangled appearance. Diagnosis was confirmed through trichoscopic and microscopic examination, and treatment with topical minoxidil was applied.
