What do you get when you combine a 17-month-old’s big blue toddler eyes with a head full of adorably blonde stand-straight-out-of-your-head hair? A uniquely darling image and a guaranteed smile.
Katelyn and Caleb Samples, both 33, from Roswell, Georgia, are parents to two young boys. The youngest, Locklan, has a full head of “uncombable hair,” which, as it turns out, is caused by a genetic condition that makes his hair root and shaft take on a triangular, heart, or flat shape (or all of these shapes), rather than the more common circular or oval shapes. The result is a head full of erratic, fragile, “spun glass”-looking hair that mats easily and refuses to obey comb or brush.
