Mum says she’s stopped in the street because of her baby’s Elvis Presley hair do

Meet the baby whose wacky hair stops strangers in the street.

The little tot’s ‘do’ is often compared to Elvis Presley’s iconic quiff.

Mum Kiaya Leach, 21, couldn’t believe it when her 12-week-old daughter Hallie was born with a full head of thick, black hair.

The little girl is often compared to the rock and roll legend as her hair has naturally formed into the Elvis-like hairstyle.

The single mum insists her baby’s hair has a ‘mind of its own’ and can’t be tamed, but she is learning to embrace it.

Hallie is adored by her big brother, three-year-old Hunter, who affectionately calls her ‘Hulk’ after comparing her shaggy hair to his favourite superhero.

Kiaya, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, said: ‘Everyone compares her hair to Elvis Presley.

‘It’s naturally gone into this cute little quiff – just like his hair. I’m always stopped in the street by people who can’t believe how much hair she has.

‘We’ve done everything to try and flatten and brush it, but it does what it wants.

‘I’ve stopped trying to style it now and just let it do its own thing.’

After a five hour labour, Kiaya welcomed baby Hallie into the world on July 5 2021, weighing 9lb 7oz.

Upon her birth, medics immediately commented on her thick mop of black hair.

Hallie’s hair is already 3inches in length and Kiaya claims it’s growing at breakneck speed.

‘The first thing the doctors said was how much of a big baby she was and how much hair she had,’ she recalled.

‘It never stops growing – I can’t believe how long it is already.’

Despite washing, brushing, and styling her baby’s hair, the locks always bounce back to standing up right.

Kiaya has admitted defeat.

‘It gets greasy quite quickly, so we have a dedicated hair wash day for her,’ she said. ‘I’ve combed it back, to the sides, but it always sticks up again.

‘I’ve decided to just leave it be because she looks so cute.’

Kiaya is often stopped on the street by onlookers enthralled with Hallie’s hair, but her brother Hunter has hair that also turns some heads.

‘He’s got this thick long blonde hair – they’re quite the pair,’ Kiaya said.

‘Hunter absolutely adores his little sister – he’s really obsessed with her. He calls “Hulk” because she’s he’s also got thick, black hair.

‘He’s nicknamed “Thor” because of his hair so we have a pair of superheroes. I don’t plan to get it cut anytime soon.

‘I love seeing how long it gets.’
