2. Matted Unkempt Hair
One of the first signs that a person is not taking proper care of themselves is unkempt hair. Those suffering from Diogenes Syndrome rarely take the time to wash and brush out their locks. Without proper brushing and cleansing, the hair that is naturally shed becomes knotted and wrapped around other strands. Over time, this leads to matting in various areas. The matting may become so bad that it would need to be cut out. Sufferers may even have foreign objects tangled throughout their hair that go completely unnoticed. Hair will stink from lack of washing.
