We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

So it's a condition, not a disease. I think they just have to treat their hair differently, like using black hair products and whatnot. But that's just my conclusion.

We have learned to cope and have found a very cute short hair cut for her. We have to keep her hair short due to her hair being very brittle, but she has received hundreds of compliments on her hair. When she was diagnosed she was in the hospital for a different life threatening matter and the doctors kept fussing over her hair because they had never seen it before. They finally brought the state dermatologist in who was amazed to see UHS. She said that it had been about 8 years since she had seen UHS but she knew right away what it was. My daughter gave hair samples and had pictures taken for scientific research purposes. My daughter just turned 5 and was diagnosed with UHS when she was 2.

My hair may be funky but not diseased! Glass hair is soft as kitten fur and can look good if you do it right. Best UHS styles for men, cut it short and let it spike out. Use a little hard jell if desired. For longer hair just go with the tangles. Wash and blow dry with a convertible sports car! Do use quality hair products because breakage can be an issue. The idea of "treatment" is especially disturbing. Embrace what you got and don't let some doctor try to fix what ain't broke! I have a problem with calling this a “disease”.
