The Video That Started It All
Rosales posted the now-viral POV video showing Joseph lying on his back, wiggling while his thick, dark hair steals the spotlight. Overlay text reads: “POV: your baby was born with a full head of hair,” while the caption jokes, “My son’s hair said, ‘genetics understood the assignment.'”
Strangers Can’t Believe Their Eyes
Scroll through the comments and you’ll see:
- “Stop I thought it was a wig at first”
- “The hair came before the embryo”
- Comparisons to a Monchhichi doll and Elvis
Rosales tells News Of Los Angeles the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive:
> “The reaction online has been so positive and supportive. People are always stopping us to admire him.”
A Family Trait
This isn’t Rosales’ first experience with a hair-heavy newborn. She explains:
> “I wasn’t surprised at all. His sister was also born with a lot of hair, too, so I kind of expected it.”
For now, Joseph’s famous mane isn’t going anywhere. Rosales plans to keep his locks untouched until at least his first birthday, when she might share a tiny trim with her followers.

Key Takeaways
