A Scottish baby born with an astonishingly thick head of hair has left people convinced she’s wearing a wig.
Liyana Svenningsen, born in August 2023, amazed midwives at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley with her full locks.
Now seven months old, her mother, Hadjer Harizi, says strangers frequently stop them in the street to ask about her hair.
Hadjer carefully maintains Liyana’s signature look, washing it every three days and using a Dyson hairdryer, but says she won’t cut it until Liyana decides for herself.

00:00Hi everyone, so this is me Hazar from Scotland, Glasgow and this is my daughter Liana. She's
00:06seven months old and as you can see she was born with a lot of hair. Everyone was in shock when
00:14they first saw her. I was not really surprised because I expected it because I was born with
00:19full of head of hair like her. When they took me to the room, nurses stopped coming to visit me.
00:24They're like oh we want to see the baby, we heard that there's a baby was born with full head of
00:29hair. So when you're out and about on the streets do people stop? Yeah many, especially in Glasgow
00:34people are already sociable and talkative so they just come to me and they're like oh how old is
00:40your baby? They think she's a bit older because of her hair and I was like I guess you know I
00:45want to know and they're like oh three? I was like oh she's just four weeks. I'm like what
00:49with this hair? Oh my god like my baby is one year and like she's born. I was like
00:55everyone adores her. I think because of her hair. I bathe her three times a week because her hair
01:02gets a bit oily and because she has a thick hair it's really hard to keep it clean most of the time
01:08because she plays, she eats. Well I wash her hair with shampoo twice or three times and then
01:14conditioner and then I oil her hair with natural argan oil and then I dry it every time I bathe her.
01:20Good job. My baby did a good job. When I take her out I just style her hair a little bit.
01:28Sometimes a ponytail. Can you imagine ponytails after seven months?
01:34Wow look at that. I don't think I'll cut her hair. I think when she's a bit older, when she's around
01:4112 she can decide herself if she wants to have a special haircut or something. Honestly I want
01:46her to decide when she knows and she's a bit mature she can decide if she wants to cut it
01:52or color it or whatever she wants.
