matted hair
Clumped, neglected strands
Hair that has become tangled and compressed into dense clumps, often from neglect, moisture, or friction.
Matted hair forms when strands interweave so tightly they can't be separated with normal brushing: The stray dog's coat was full of matted hair.
The condition occurs in both humans and animals, sometimes requiring cutting rather than combing to remove.
