No, this little boy doesn’t have bad hair and his parents are not in the sloppy business as we have been reading. His loving mom even explained, “They say he’s like a little rock star. It puts a smile on people’s faces.When Locklan Samples was born, he had very dark, black hair that resembled his mom Katelyn’s hair. However, 6 months later, he had grown out “peach hair,” as his parents affectionately refer to his parents.Katelyn was asked on Instagram if her son had “hairless syndrome.” As a mom, you always want to make sure everything is okay with your child and Katelyn went to a pediatrician as a precaution.
He had never heard of the condition and referred her to a specialist. After a thorough examination, it turned out that the little boy did indeed have “hairless hair syndrome. One of only 100 known cases. Because it is so rare, there is little information about it.There is, however, a Facebook group with people and parents involved. The condition usually occurs during childhood and adolescence. Katelyn said:It’s been a great source of comfort, and we share pictures and talk about different things. It’s cool to see how the older kids’ hair has changed over the years – for some people it doesn’t go away, and for others it becomes a little more manageable. “For now, Locks’ mom is leaving him free and happy.
“I hardly need to wash him unless he’s literally playing in the mud because his hair doesn’t get greasy,” she said. “He is incredibly soft and people want to touch him all the time. I comb him carefully because it hurts him. I just try to be very careful with his hair and not touch it when I don’t have to.”
