A new Instagram account is taking one baby girl's fame to some serious heights! Baby Chanco was born with a full head of lustrous hair and now her thick locks are making her an Instagram star. The Japanese infant has more than 76,000 followers on Instagram with no signs of stopping, as fans love seeing the 8-month-old get her hair styled, teased, and even tuned in to a recent post where the little lion cub got her hair cut.
Chanco was only 6 months old when her parents started putting her pictures on Instagram.
According to The Daily Mail, Chanco was born in December of 2017 and already had a full head of hair when she made her way earthside. But it was only in May of 2018 that her mom started her now-famous Instagram account BabyChanco. The account, which has racked up thousands of followers and boasts thousands of likes, has become an online hit and it's no surprise why.
Many of Chanco's followers are awestruck that an 8-month-old could have so much hair when most infants barely have any!
On her Instagram account, followers wrote in gushing over Chanco's wild lion's mane of hair.
"Omg that's her real hair," one user wrote.
"Her hair style is like the Royal Guard of England!" wrote another.
Chanco's hair is so thick and beautiful that her mom has started styling it with barrettes and hair clips.
And TBH, we are loving this cute little bow!
In a recent video, Chanco got her hair cut by a stylist and didn't even cry!
The 8-month-old seems totally chill as her stylist cuts away at that now-famous mop of locks, but in the comments of her post her followers beg Chanco's parents to stop cutting the Insta-cutie's claim to fame.
"STOP CUTTING LET HER HAIR BE! ITS CUTE. PLEASE STOP CUTTING," wrote a fan.
"Nooooo," wrote another heartbroken fan.
But don't worry, Chanco kept most of her locks.
Although it might seem strange that some infants are born with more hair than others, there's actually a reason why.
According to Dr. Andrew Raffles, consultant pediatrician at The Portland Hospital, how much hair a baby is born with often depends on heredity and the amount of pigmentation in the hair. The doctor explained that "a fair-skinned baby and a dark-haired baby may have exactly the same numbers of hairs, but the presence or absence of pigment (melanin) will determine how hairy or hairless your baby may look."
Meaning that it's not always the amount of hair a child has but how dark it is that creates the look. In the case of Chanco, however, it looks like she has more than the average amount of hair volume!
Though in the end, we have to say that Chanco really rocks her look.
Big hair, don't care, y'all!
