In the picturesque town of Eath Blaketham, Suffolk, a remarkable story unfolds, showcasing the extraordinary resilience of a 17-year-old girl named Layla Davis. Layla, with her striking “combable hair of uncombable hair syndrome” (UHS), has recently captured hearts and imagination worldwide. This peculiar genetic feature makes her hair appear wild and is typically found in light-colored hair.
Only around 100 people in the world have been diagnosed with this rare condition, which usually develops in childhood.
Layla’s mother, Charlotte Davis, states her desire to grow up embracing her daughter’s uniqueness, even though her hair looks different from others. Initially taken aback by the severity of the situation, Charlotte is now proud to have raised a daughter whose hair sets her apart in an extraordinary way. Layla’s hair began to appear fluffy when she was around one year old, and it continues to grow more outwardly from there. Layla has also started touching and playing with her hair herself.
