She might be just seven months old, but her incredible locks have already netted her more than 120,000 followers.

We all know how adorable baby humans can be, but not all of them can boast being an Instagram star less than a year after coming into the world. For Japanese girl Baby Chanco, though, it’s something she takes in her stride, well not literally as she can’t even walk yet, as people around the world are currently obsessed with her hair.

▼ Say hello to Baby Chanco.

Despite the fact that she spends her time crawling, chewing on toys, and cuddling up to teddy bears twice her size, Baby Chanco has a full head of thick, lustrous hair rarely seen on children of her age.

With such impressive hair, it’s easy to forget that she’s still a tiny baby who can’t even stand on her own two feet yet. This video is a cute reminder of her age, as she gurgles in delight at the breeze of a fan.

While it’s unclear why Chanco has so much hair for her age, it’s something that she was clearly born with, as this photo shows her already sporting a full head of hair as a newborn.
