Child's thick head of hair regularly gets mistaken for a WIG

Meet the baby with an impressive mop of hair so luscious it often gets mistaken for a wig.

Naayil, 11 months, was born with a full head of thick dark black hair.

At two weeks old, he had his locks shaved off - in keeping with Islamic tradition - but they've now grown back in just 11 months.

His mum, Jina, 24, is constantly asked if Naayil’s mane is a wig and told he looks like a Disney baby - with his big brown eyes.

Despite people desperate to know Naayil's secret to his shiny barnet, Jina insists she only uses baby shampoo and lets his locks dry naturally.

Mum-of-two Jina, a stay-at-home mum and cake maker, from Washington, Northern Virginia, US, said: “People always ask if Naayil’s hair is a wig.

“They’ve even asked if I blow dry it or use any special products.

“But his hair is just naturally silky and thick - like his dads.

“In our Islamic culture it’s a tradition to shave a baby's hair at two weeks - so it’s all growth since then.

“I would kill for the hair all the men in my family have.”

Naayil was born weighing a healthy 7lbs 13oz on 4th July 2021 at Resten Hospital, Reston, Virginia with a full head of hair.

“He was gorgeous and had his father’s genes with his full head of thick hair,” Jina said.

“He doesn’t know how lucky he is.”
