Layla’s natural hair do led to mum Charlotte nicknaming her Boris because her wild mane sticks up at all angles.
The 18-month-tot was born with Uncombable Hair Syndrome, a condition which causes dry, frizzy hair that cannot be combed flat.
Mum Charlotte Davis, 28, told The Sun: “Sometimes we call her Boris because her hair is just uncontrollable, no matter what we do to it her hair will never go straight.
“We have tried all sorts like blow-drying it, conditioning it, but we’ve just learned that this is just how it is.”
The condition, also known as spun glass hair, is known to usually improve over time, normally by adolescence, for a reason unknown to scientists.
