Baby born with head of thick hair that you could see it on the scan (photos)

21 year old Mum, Alexandra Jechorek was shocked when she realized during her 34-week scan, that her baby girl had a full head of hair before she was even born.

According to Alexandra, her baby’s locks were so thick, they could be seen clearly on the scan screen while she was still in the womb.

Alexandra, of Dublin, Ireland, upon seeing her baby’s full head of hair when born, said: ‘We’d already found out we were expecting a girl at the previous scan, so at 34 weeks, we were just excited to see how much she’d grown.

‘When the midwife turned the screen around, I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. ‘There was this tiny little baby on the scan with a full head of hair. I just thought, “No way, this cannot be possible”. ‘To be completely honest, I thought all babies were born bald. My oldest Kadin came out bald, so I just thought that was how babies were when they were born. ‘But once I’d taken in how much hair she had, it made me all the more excited to meet her, as Maya already looked like a proper little person.’

On June 9, 2019 after 90 minutes of labour, baby Maya was born at a Hospital, in Dublin, weighing 8lbs 9oz and her full head of dark hair surprised everyone.

Alexandra laughed: ‘As soon as Maya arrived, I couldn’t take my eyes off her hair.

‘I’d been expecting her to have hair because of the scan, but to see this beautiful baby with this thick jet black hair was incredible.

‘It had already grown so long it was down past her ears. ‘Even the nurses and the doctors turned to me and said they’d never seen a baby with so much hair in all the time they’d worked at the hospital!’
‘We couldn’t leave the house without someone complimenting Maya on her hair,’ Alexandra said.
‘Lots of people would ask, “How old is she?”
‘They were shocked when I told them she was only three months old with so much hair!’

Alexandra says that her daughter who just turned one, has hair so long that it skims the top of her nappy.

She said: ‘I’ve never had her hair cut. I think it’s absolutely beautiful and I want her to grow it as long as she wants.’

Maya now shows off her different hair styles on her own Instagram page with 300 followers.

‘Maya’s really good she always sits still and lets me do her hair,’ said Alexandra.

‘I do it in plaits and sometimes I tie it in a ponytail.
‘I love putting bow clips in her hair. I have different colours, like pink, blue, red and yellow, to match the different outfits that she wears.’

‘I shampoo and conditioner her hair every day,’ said Alexandra. ‘Then I brush it through and spray on some stay-in conditioner and dry it with a towel. ‘It takes about 20 minutes, which is quite a long time considering I’m doing a one-year-old’s hair.’

‘People love looking at pictures of Maya – they can’t get enough of her hair,’ she said. ‘I usually post pictures of her different hairstyles or of her playing with Kadin. ‘But the comments are always about how amazing Maya’s hair is.’

Alexandra says she has no family history of babies with hair.

She said: ‘I’ve asked around my family and Lee’s to see if anyone else was born with hair like Maya’s, but everyone’s told me no, so it must’ve just been a fluke.

And it’s weird that she has such dark hair, as when Kadin was a baby, he had such fine blond hair.
