This is Layla Davis and she has been diagnosed as one of only 100 people in the world with 'Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome'.
The 17-month-old's blonde locks defy all attempts to comb them straight.
Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome develops in childhood, often between infancy and age three. It is a condition that is characterised by dry, frizzy hair that cannot be combed flat.
Children who develop it tend to have light-coloured hair - and there are only around 100 cases in the world.
The condition is also known as spun glass hair and usually improves over time – normally by adolescence.
Layla's mother, Charlotte, 28, from Great Blakenham, Suffolk, said: "She was fluffy from when she was about one and then after that it started growing more and more outwards.
''I think I was in denial and kept saying it was going to go flat.
"I really proud to get the diagnosis because it's so rare, part of the reason I delayed getting her tested for it is because there's only one hundred people with it in the world - the chances of having it are so slim."
