    Glossary Hair Tourniquet Syndrome

    strand of hair tightly wraps around body part, cutting circulation

    Hair Tourniquet Syndrome, also known simply as a hair tourniquet, occurs when a strand of hair or thread tightly wraps around a body part, typically a toe, finger, or genitalia, cutting off circulation. This can lead to pain, swelling, and potentially serious complications if not promptly addressed, as the constriction can damage tissues and nerves.
