Loose anagen hair syndrome (LAS) or Uncombable hair syndrome (UHS) is a rare hair disorder in which anagen hairs can be easily and without discomfort removed from the scalp. This is a common self-limiting disorder of childhood. Here we present a case report on a 13-year-old girl child who presented with complaints of diffuse hair thinning and easily pluckable hair. The diagnosis was conrmed with a hair pull test, which was painless with anagen hairs, preventing the necessity for other diagnostic tests.
