An Australian child with abnormal hair texture, which is the result of a rare genetic disease, has become famous on the net. The Daily Mail reports.
10-year-old Shilah Madison Calvert-Yin from Melbourne was born with tangled hair syndrome. The hair shafts of the girl are naturally heart-shaped. Moreover, there is no straightening protein in their structure, and therefore the curls always fluff and look voluminous.
It is noted that at an earlier age, Shyla hid her hair under a scarf or cut her hair out of shame, as she was constantly abused by others. For example, other children laughed at her and said that she looked like she was electrocuted.
Now the heroine of the material is no longer ashamed of her unusual hair. “I like my hairstyle, but at the same time I hate it, especially when the wind blows, because I can’t see anything!” – she admitted and added that the hairdresser, who specializes in African American hair, managed to pull her strands into braids and remove them from her face.
Celeste’s mother decided to share her daughter’s story on social networks in order to draw public attention to her unusual illness. At the moment, more than 15 thousand people have subscribed to her Instagram -account.
Earlier abnormally thick hair of a newborn child surprised the hospital staff. Jordanian Alexandra Bond explained to reporters that after the birth of her daughter Maya, the doctors told her that they had not seen a newborn with such long hair during her entire work in the hospital.
