It can be tough to get little kids to let you comb their hair. Sometimes, it even turns into a battle. But one mom, Katelyn Samples, doesn't have to worry too much about fighting that one. That's because her little one, 14-month-old Locklan Samples, has uncombable hair syndrome.
It sounds a little frightening, but it's harmless. Still, the rare condition makes his white blond hair stick straight up. It's completely impossible to comb. Basically, it looks like he's been shocked … all the time.
Little Locklan looks super adorable anyway. But the condition is so rare, impacting only about 100 people worldwide, that his mom says people often think they are joking when they reveal he has uncombable hair syndrome.
