I think this is true. My DD was bald for the first year of her life. After her hair grew in, it really complemented her face and softened her features (she has a large head like her daddy). She is gorgeous now.

In genetics it's known as "hybrid vigor". My half hard-core washed out WASP/half Eastern European immigrant Jew husband has this in spades

We are interracial, and our kid looks like a freaking model. I'm not saying this b/c I don't see him for who he is - I do, but really, he's just always been one that is very attractive and appealing.
Most of our friends actually tell us that it's b/c he is mixed. One, recently, called him a "hybrid" - I guess this is a new term I was unaware of.
