A possible case of uncombable hair syndrome was reported in 1912 by A.F. Le Double and F. Houssay. The syndrome was described in 1973 by A. Dupré, P. Rochiccioli and J.L. Bonafé, who named it "cheveux incoiffables". Later that year it was independently described as "spun-glass hair" by J.D. Stroud and A.H. Mehregan. The famous term was coined in the early eighties.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
