Born in December 2017 in Japan, Baby Chanco’s Instagram account has been labelled a ‘hair diary.’ 

Her posts garner over 10,000 likes each, and she has fans from all around the globe.

Comments on her most recent photo include, ‘She is so cute!’ and ‘She looks like a doll.’ 

Baby Chanco isn’t the first baby who’s hair has shocked the world. 

A five-month-old baby was born with so much hair that he stops traffic in the street and strangers in their tracks – with some even dubbing him ‘Wolverine’. 

When Rachel and Gareth Carter went for their 20-week scan nurses thought that the couple would be having a little girl due to the amount of hair the photo revealed.

But when the pair’s gorgeous bub was born, it was clear he was a boy – shocking doctors who called in their colleagues to admire baby Bobby’s luscious locks.

Rachel, 30, says Bobby is often compared to X-Men character Wolverine, with strangers sometimes mistaking him for a girl. 

Bobby has his hair washed and blow dried daily to tame his boisterous mane and has hardly lost a strand since the day he was born. 

‘My eldest son, Frankie, was born with a lot of hair but not as much as Bobby,’ Rachel, from Merseyside, says.

‘When we went for our gender scan the nurses were sure I was having a girl because we could see that the baby had so much hair. 

They had never seen a scan photo like it before.
