Liyana Svenningsen’s mum had to start styling her hair when she was only four months old.

A Scots baby born with a thick head of hair has left people convinced that her natural locks are a wig.

Hadjer Harizi, 25, gave birth to her daughter Liyana Svenningsen in August last year at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.

According to Hadjer, midwives at the hospital were stunned when her newborn came into the world sporting a full head of hair.

Now seven months old, the baby’s hair has grown so long that Hadjer says people-stunned by her daughter’s luscious hair-regularly stop them in the street.

Hadjer, a stay-at-home mum in Glasgow, said: “People always stop us in the street or at the shops to ask about her hair.

“Someone once asked if it was a wig and when I jokingly said yes, they fully believed me!”

Hadjer wasn’t entirely surprised with Liyana’s full head of hair since she was herself born with lots of hair.

Hadjer said: “I wasn’t really surprised because both my husband and I had a lot of hair when we were born too.”

“The midwives at the hospital would come to my room and say ‘We’re here to see the baby born with full head of hair’.

“They were quite shocked to see Liyana’s hair.”

Liyana’s hair is growing so fast that by the time she was four months old, Hadjer had to start styling it to keep it out of her face.

Liyana’s hair has become her signature look, and her mum takes special care of it with special shampoos and a hairdryer.

She said: “I wash her hair every three days because it becomes greasy. We use a scanning app to check for any harsh chemicals in shampoos and conditioner.

“And we never let her hair air-dry. She actually loves using the Dyson hairdryer!

“I absolutely love styling her hair every day and I’m not going to cut them until she decides to when she’s older”
