How often on the expanses of the Internet did you get in the mood of pictures of kids with a hair like a dandelion? But in fact agree, you probably thought that this is all the tricks of the photoshop?
So, it's time to open the maps and introduce you to the unique representatives of our planet - people who have a syndrome of non-combing hair!
In fact, there are no more than 100 such people today. This phenomenon was first described by the French physicians in 1973 and is accordingly called "heveux incoiffables". Well, a little later, in the American Journal of Human Genetics, a whole study was published describing in detail that the "non-combing hair syndrome" occurs as a result of a genetic mutation in three genes: PADI3, TGM3 and TCHH, the first two of which are responsible for the information about enzymes, and the last - for structure and form. In a word, under a microscope it is clearly seen that the trunk of a hair in people with such a syndrome is not of a circular shape, but more like a triangle along which the canal passes. And visually such hair, as a rule, light, very dry and slightly curly.
Let's find out about the most famous "lady dandelions"?
1. Shila Yin
Parents of 7-year-old Shila Yin from Australian Melbourne say that from birth to up to 3 months, their daughter's hair did not differ from the hair of all newborns, and only then a strange fluff began to "punch" the girl's head. Since then, Shila's hair has become more and more stuck in different directions and every year to brighten up!
Of course, the unusual hairdress influenced the character of the girl - at first she was embarrassed by her tangled hair and was afraid of ridicule of the surrounding children. But thanks to the efforts of the parents, today Sheela perceives her hair as uniqueness and solid positive!
