This 11-month-old boy has better hair than you.

Naayil Aktar was born with a full head of black hair – so thick and luscious people often think he’s wearing a wig.

At two weeks old, he had his locks shaved off – in-keeping with Islamic tradition – but it’s now grown back impressively fast.

His mum, 24-year-old Jina Aktar, is constantly asked if Naayil’s hair is real and told he looks like a ‘Disney baby.’

All Jina does to her boy’s hair is use baby shampoo and lets his locks dry naturally.

The stay-at-home mum and cake maker, from Washington, said: ‘People always ask if Naayil’s hair is a wig.

‘They’ve even asked if I blow dry it or use any special products. But his hair is just naturally silky and thick – like his dad’s.

‘In our Islamic culture it’s a tradition to shave a baby’s hair at two weeks – so it’s all growth since then.

‘I would kill for the hair all the men in my family have.’

The family even have to tie the little one’s hair in a ponytail so he can see – and, in a couple of months, they think it’ll be long enough to put in a bun.
