5-Month-Old With Amazing Hair Captivates Social Media After Mom Shares Video

The Portland baby's mother says she can't believe how much his hair continues to grow, with viewers comparing him to Elvis.

A baby nicknamed Justin Bieber while in the NICU because of his amazing head of hair has amazed viewers on social media.

Baby Noah Yanez, from Gresham, Oregon, was born with long locks, but over the months that followed his mom, Lily, couldn’t believe how much his hair continued to grow.

When Noah was about three months old, Lily noticed he’d developed a flowing cowlick on the top of his head, which wouldn’t stay down.

And so, when Noah turned five months old, Lily decided to share a short video about her son’s amazing hair on social media, which soon went viral.

The post received hundreds of thousands of views, with users comparing Noah to the likes of Elvis.

Lily said: “Noah had a good amount of hair as soon as I delivered him – so much so that his nickname was Justin Bieber during his NICU stay.

“My first son had a lot of hair as well, but for some reason Noah’s just kept growing so much in such a short amount of time.

“We’ve received so many sweet comments and I’ve honestly loved all the comparisons people have been making.

“I just hope that my baby continues to put a smile on everyone’s faces and encourages others embrace their babies’ hair now because of course they’ll eventually get their hair cut.”
