Abstract:
For matting of hair, multifactorial mechanisms are responsible. Thereby physical conditions, chemical agents and behavioural factors play the main roles. It seems evident that hair matting is not a hair disease; consequently, cutting off the affected hair and avoiding all possible trigger factors are the therapy of choice.
