We all have bad hair days, right? I definitely have a few at least a couple of times a week. No kidding. But what if you were born with a rare condition that makes your hair virtually uncombable.
Yes, that's right. A little girl in Australia has been facing this issue all her life and it hasn't stopped her one bit.
But after a few months, her hair started growing straight up and didn't flatten down at all.
Some even made comments that came off as rude and insensitive.
That really annoyed her parents, as it would bother any caring parent.
Which would then prompt one of her parents to ask people to kindly delete the photos.
That's really the best attitude to have.
It would just snap off at the root and be very fragile.
Many tears later they discovered that having Shilah sleep on a silk pillowcase was best.
She even made light of it by saying she should be called "fuzzy."
She's always been quite sassy and told other kids she was unique and special.
But this hasn't made the family upset one bit. In fact just the opposite.
After all, it's just hair and therefore it's not a big deal.
They were told it was caused by a gene mutation.
How interesting.
Her mom now runs an Instagram to show people how Shilah rocks her unique condition.
Through her account, Shilah is helping to spread awareness about this unique condition.
This is an important message for everyone to hear!
Her story has also prompted other children to come forward and talk about their experiences.
She even appeared on This Morning to talk about her hair.
It can also be quite painful when she tries to brush it. Wynter's mom has said they've tried numerous products to try and tame it.
It began falling out and her blonde hair with a wiry texture started coming in.
Wynter and her sisters are competitive dancers and love dressing up in fabulous costumes.
Yes! I love her positive attitude about her hair.
Their positive outlooks are so inspiring. Great job!
