Chilean Toddler Diagnosed with Extremely Rare Uncombable Hair Syndrome

Rare Genetic Mutation Gives Baby Coco Her Distinctive Uncombable Hair A family in Chile has shared the heartwarming story of their daughter, Coco, who was recently diagnosed with Uncombable Hair Syndrome, a rare genetic mutation with only approximately 100 documented cases globally. The video, shared by Coco's mother, Chris Stefansson, chronicles their journey from pregnancy, where they already felt Coco would be "special," to her toddler years, showcasing her distinctive, fluffy blonde hair. Initially, Coco's hair was perceived as a soft, light fuzz, similar to her older sisters. However, as she grew, her hair developed a unique texture that proved impossible to comb. "From one day to the next, her vibrant, fun, happy personality began to appear through her hair," Stefansson stated in the video. After extensive research and consultations with specialists, the family received the diagnosis of Uncombable Hair Syndrome. This genetic condition results in hair that is dry, frizzy, and stands out from the scalp, resisting all attempts at styling. Despite the rarity of the condition, Stefansson embraces it as a part of Coco's radiant personality. "I choose to believe that such divine and unique hair only brings light and energy to everyone around us," she added, emphasizing the joy Coco brings to their family of five. The family plans to share a second part of their journey, detailing how they manage Coco's unique hair.
