As is often the case, babies are born either bald or with little hair on their heads. But in the UK there is one family in which babies are born with a real mop of hair. The Shelton family, at first glance, are the most ordinary residents of the town of Northampton. But soon they became famous not only in their hometown, but throughout the British Isles.
Shelton has two sons: George and Stanley, and they were born with a very unusual feature – thick and long hair on their heads. When the eldest son, George, was born, doctors had to request scissors to the delivery room. After all, the baby’s hair completely covered his eyes, their length was up to the tip of the nose. But the most interesting thing is that his hair grew at an incredible rate.
Only in the first six months of his life, George was cut three times. The only thing is that the kid really did not like to have his hair cut. When the boy was taken to the hairdresser for the first time, the master was so surprised that she asked permission to take a picture of him. She had never seen such long hair in little children.
When George was four years old, his brother was born. And what do you think? Baby Stanley was also very hairy. And when he was two months old, his hair straightened out and grows exclusively vertically.
As the father of the family says, “it feels like he was shocked.” And the mother has to style the baby’s hair with the help of a gel in order to somehow calm them down. “A boy can hardly ever wear a hat. She just won’t be able to stay on his head, ”his mother jokes. Doctors say that the reason that children have such hair is genetics. Since the parents also have thick hair that grows quickly.
