A ten-year-old boy has embraced his 'weird and wiry' hair which is caused by a rare genetic condition believed to have also afflicted Albert Einstein.
It means his locks are impossible to brush flat and Sam Barley said he gets stopped in the street by strangers asking about his bright blonde, frizzy hair.
He often gets asked if he's 'stuck his finger in a plug socket.' It is thought that the schoolboy has Uncontrollable Hair Syndrome (UHS) - an extremely rare disorder that means your hair is dry, frizzy and can't be combed flat.
