A video of a baby girl in China with “explosive hair” that looks like the hair of someone who has just been electrocuted – has gone viral.
People online were delighted by the four-month-old girl’s hairstyle, describing it as cute, while some said it resembled a sea urchin. Many were curious about how the girl’s hair had been styled to achieve the look, Jimu News reported.
The girl’s mother, surnamed Qin, said her daughter’s hairstyle was naturally occurring and that she has not had a haircut since her birth. Doctors from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, southern China, where the family lives said the girl was a normal healthy baby.
“Every time I take my daughter out on the street, the number of double takes at her from pedestrians is quite high,” the mother said.
She said there were no plans to change her daughter’s hairstyle at present.
“I’ll wait and see how her hair will grow when she is a bit older.”
