Rare Condition Leaves Baby Looking Like Einstein As Her Hair Can't Be Combed

The Uncombable Hair Syndrome is a rare disorder of the hair shaft of the scalp. The condition was first identified in 1973.
A toddler in the United Kingdom is being compared to Albert Einstein and Boris Johnson for her messy blonde locks. Eighteen-month-old Layla Davis was born with Uncombable Hair Syndrome (UHS), which leads to dry and frizzy hair that cannot be flattened down. She was formally diagnosed earlier this month. She lives with her family in Great Blakenham, in Suffolk. Davis' mother Charlotte and father Kevin told local publications that they have tried blow-drying and conditioning her hair but to no avail.
"She was fluffy from when she was about one and then after that it started growing more and more outwards," Charlotte, 28, told Metro.
"I think I was in denial and kept saying it was going to go flat," she added.
Scientists say that there are only 100 cases of UHS across the world.
