Could you use the word “atrophy” to describe hair?

If you’re in a concentration camp, and your hair is unmanageable any longer. My friend explains how her hair becomes more unmanageable and that her hair isn’t smelling all that bad.

Example sentence: “She wanted nothing more than lotion for her cracked skin and conditioner for her atrophied hair. On

wikipedia, if I type “dry & frizzy” would you say “slowly developing frizzy”?

A simple Google search reveals that the term “atrophy” has been used time and again in the field of Medicine, but my own preference would be “deteriorated” or even “malnourished” like Pam mentioned above.

Interestingly, it seems that this use might be acceptable.

From Collins via The Free Dictionaries

atrophy (trf) n, pl -phies

  1. (Physics) a wasting away of an organ or part, or a failure to grow to normal size as the result of disease, faulty nutrition, etc
  2. any degeneration or diminution, esp through lack of use

vb, -phies, PHYING or PHYED to waste away or cause to waste away

So far, the implication is that there is degeneration And this could apply to each individual hair. They’re frizzy because they’ve wasted away, individual scales have fallen off and hair is dry.

What is an unusual use of the words in context of I am beginning with definition 1. It’s more usual to apply this to organs or to some fleshy part of the body. What is the name of a synonym in thesaurus? com :

atrophied attenuated famished lean shrivelled starved thin undernourished withered anorexic bony gaunt haggard lank scrawny skeletal skin-and-bones skinny underfed

And also from the ngrams. If atrophied hair is actually used, it is normally together with follicles. Atrophied hair is definitely rare, but for a given situation they can be used even with it in a hair transplant.

What is the appropriate time and frequency to use a malnourished animal? If you check with a quick Google search, “malnourished hair” gets about 6 twice as many hits as “atrophied hair” does. The conditioner would nourish the hair, but without frizz. Probably a safer option because

of traffic.
