The little girl’s hair is so long that she cut her hair for the first time at age three and is often mistaken for a doll.

Katie Canham, 32, from Broмley, south London, said her daughter Dolly was born with a full head of hair, much to everyone’s surprise.

Katie, who is also mother to Archie, 10, Ellie, 7 and Reggie, 18 months, said neither of them had that much hair at birth- and that she has to brush Dolly’s hair every day.

She also says that people are always stopping her on the street to comment on Dolly’s hair, many even mistaking the little girl for a doll.

She said: “The first time I saw her I couldn’t believe it, even the midwife couldn’t believe it, she said, ‘Oh my God, I’ve never seen a baby with that much hair.’

“The first time I did her hair it was amazing; She couldn’t tell how long she was.

She “She cut her bangs at three months because they got in her eyes.

“Actually, I can put it in a ponytail, I can clip it in and everything to keep it out of her face.

“People often say that she looks like a doll and when I tell them her name is Dolly, they say ‘that’s the perfect name.’

“Some people ask me if I had a lot of distress when I was pregnant, which is true; all I could feel towards the end of my pregnancy was anguish.

“I had the gas-man come to my house the other day and she was asleep on the couch and you could only see the hair part of her and she actually asked me if she was a real baby.

“Everywhere I go, everyone is like, ‘Oh my gosh, that baby hair.’

“I don’t dry it on low heat, but I have to brush it every day.”
