Strangely, she has a straight hair that can't be brushed

Little Shilah Yin, 7 years old, in Melbourne, Australia is one of the few people with rare and unfortunate hair syndrome in the world. Baby's hair grows from all sides and stretches straight, not hanging down.

At birth, Shilah had very normal hair. But when I was three months old, things began to change. From then on, Shilah's hair became more and more golden and grew more and more straight, pointing out in all directions.

Shilah is one of about 100 people suffering from "untidy" hair syndrome in the world.

Shilah himself began to notice his unique hair when he was four because he was noticed by many friends and adults. At first I felt uncomfortable but after being convinced by my parents that this hair was special, I started to love my appearance more.

"Shilah loves her special hair. But friends and family have to cheer and praise her often," said her mother, Celeste Calvert-Yin. "As a very, very young girl, Shilah often told us that it was like a horned horse, because one-horned horses were very special and rare. It touched us to cry."

Extremely hard to put Shilah's unjust hair in order. Every morning her mother must use a hair-splitting solution and spend 20 to 30 minutes brushing her hair. His mother must use a large tooth comb and gently brush it so that the baby does not have pain. After that, Dad will help Shilah dry to make her hair look nice and beautiful.

My family did not know anything about untidy hair syndrome until last year. Now the family also wants to raise awareness of people around this syndrome and the best way is to post pictures of Shilah on Instagram.

So far, there is no way to cure this syndrome.

Unkempt hair syndrome usually occurs in childhood and is common in children with gray or straw hair. The cause of the syndrome is thought to be inherited by genes involved in hair formation . But strangely, no one in Shilah's home has this symptom.

So far, there is no way to cure this syndrome. However, hair texture often becomes smoother and even becomes normal when growing up.
