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.”
