A Four-Month-Old Baby From Australia Has A Head Full Of Lush Hair That Causes A Stir Wherever He Goes
Most babies are born with fine thin hair, but some sport a bald look or even a head full of hair, as is the case with Boston – a baby boy born in December 2018. Just four months old, this little boy from Australia is conquering social media users with a luxurious hairstyle.
Tara Simich, a mother of two, says that her second son’s huge mop of hair causes quite a stir wherever he goes, most people are completely bewildered by it. “Mostly people are in complete shock because he’s so little, they can’t believe the hair is his. But it is.”
Boston was born with thick, bulky hair – just like his father, Tara wrote on her Instagram account.

“Welcome to the family little man. Boston Marin Simich arrived after a quick labour on 4-12-18 at 10:30am weighing a nice 3.8kg with hair exactly like Dad’s” – the proud mother wrote.
Tara is a mother of two who runs a fitness program called Jungle Body. On her Instagram account, she often posts photos of both Boston and his older brother Jagger.
Fun fact: did you know that there’s an old wife’s tale according to which a heartburn during pregnancy is a sure sign of a hairy baby? Moms-to-be are often even encouraged to eat dozen of pineapples – a heartburn-relieving fruit.
While a fistful of hair for a newborn might be a tad bit unusual for some, there are babies born with a thin layer of hair covering their little bodies. In fact, it’s not uncommon. That soft thin hair is called lanugo (pronounced “la-NOO-go”). It’s produced by fetal hair follicles during the second trimester and keeps a baby warm inside the womb. Many babies lose their lanugo in utero (around 32 to 36 weeks), where it’s shed into the amniotic fluid. Other babies, particularly preemies, are born with their lanugo, which usually falls out within the first few weeks, and is replaced by vellus hair, which is finer and harder to see.

Share on FacebookSo what my son had a full head of hair when he was born .. some babies have hair and some babies don't ...
I was also born with a lot of hair, I guess almost the same amount as this little guy. My hair was black though, and after a month or so (I guess) it was brown. And now my hair still is very thick, and it has kind of a blond/brownish colour. My former hairdresser used to compare it to the manes of a lion, I still smile when I think of that memory :)
This is hilarious. How does baby hair defy gravity? These pictures will be fun to embarrass him with when he is older - LOL
My hair was like that but it was blonde so my head looked like a duckling. My baby pictures are awesome
He is too cute! Awwww...I wonder if he will have it all his life?
