This is Layla Davis and she has been diagnosed as one of only 100 people in the world with ‘Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome’.

The 17-month-old’s blonde locks defy all attempts to comb them straight.

Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome develops in childhood, often between infancy and age three. It is a condition that is characterised by dry, frizzy hair that cannot be combed flat.

Children who develop it tend to have light-colored hair – and there are only around 100 cases in the world.
