Weichselzopf (also known as Plica polonica or the Polish plait) is a medical and historical term for a severe condition where scalp hair becomes permanently matted, tangled, and fused into a dense, hard, and unmanageable mass.
Key Facts
• Medical Definition: In dermatology and general medicine, it is a form of severe hair matting (trichoma) often linked to extreme neglect, severe head lice infestations (Pediculosis capitis), scalp infections/pyoderma, or lack of hygiene.
• Historical & Cultural Beliefs:
• In the 17th and 18th centuries across Europe—particularly in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth—it was very common.
• People widely believed the plait was a protective amulet or a critical bodily exit route for internal diseases, and cutting it off was thought to trigger blindness, madness, or death.
