Shilah Yin Shilah Yin, 7, is one of only a hundred people in the world with a condition known as “uncombable hair syndrome.” Her hair grows out from her scalp in multiple directions, and can't be combed flat. The little girl from Melbourne was born with normal hair, but when she was three months old, her parents noticed a strawberry blond fuzz growing on her scalp. From then on, her hair started growing straight and became even lighter. It wasn't until she was four she started getting a lot of attention from other children and adults, which made her feel uneasy at first, but she eventually embraced her unique look. Shilah's family had never heard of uncombable hair syndrome but now want to educate others about the condition, which they do through Instagram, where they often post photos of her rebel mane.
