Lyla-Grace Barlow’s frizzy hair is the result of an extremely rare medical condition called Uncombable Hair Syndrome. There are only an estimated 100 cases known today. Previous sufferers include Albert Einstein.
The condition is caused by a gene mutation which means that Lyla’s hair follicles are heart-shaped rather than round.
The result is an unruly nest of knots and tangles that is painful to comb.
