GlossaryTrichonodosis

condition where hair strands form small, tight knots

Trichonodosis is a condition where hair strands become knotted or tangled, forming small, tight knots along the hair shaft. This can occur due to friction, certain hair care practices, or underlying hair texture issues. For professionals, it's important to note that these knots can lead to hair breakage and may require specific detangling techniques or treatments to manage effectively.
