The baby's haircut was inherited from her mother and grandmother due to a peculiar gene mutation that is only transmitted through the female line.
There is a genetic disorder – not even a disease – called pibaldism. A deficiency in melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair pigmentation, can cause discoloration of the hair or skin. Winnie Harlow, for instance, is a prominent model with vitiligo. Also, some individuals are born gray.
Talita Vieira endured bullying as a child due to her peculiarity, even when she was not being taunted. She attempted to conceal the dazzling white strand of hair on her forehead with paint, but to no avail: gray hair and pigments simply do not mix.
It was immediately apparent that this feature of her appearance was inherited, as Talita's mother had an identical hair strand.
Talita was extremely concerned that her children would develop the same disorder and endure the same level of derision. Maya, Talita's daughter, was born with gray hair, so her concerns were partially validated. However, God has charity on the ridiculed.
Talita recalls that Maya was born 54 centimeters tall, 4.25 kilograms heavy, and with the most exquisite hairstyle conceivable. Everyone admired my daughter, including nurses and physicians.
The white strand just shone in the infant girl's black tresses. The news that a child with such a peculiar appearance had been born spread throughout the hospital. According to Talita, a staff member frequently visited their ward to observe this marvel.
In addition to her tresses, the infant resembles her mother very little; she has far more in common with her father. And he was obsessed with the infant from day one: when Talita told him she was pregnant, he almost burst into floods of joy, and he has been doting on his daughter ever since.
The infant will turn four years old this year. Her gray hair has not disappeared and will not disappear. In addition, the mother teaches the infant to adore and embrace herself as she is and to value her individuality. Maya's account is filled with photos of her posing as characters ranging from Rogue from the X-Men to Cruella from 101 Dalmatians.
I must admit, Maya is exceptionally natural in the latter, especially when paired with her mother. She has even mastered a stern facial expression: she frowns as if the truth is evil to the entire universe. True, she is already beaming from ear to ear in a split second.
In addition, the mother was able to profit from her daughter's peculiar appearance. Several tens of thousands of individuals subscribe to their network accounts. Videos are receiving a large number of views; it would be a folly not to capitalize on such popularity. Who can say? Perhaps Maya anticipates a future as a successful model or blogger.
