'Baby wigs' sold to parents who don't want bald sprogs

As soon as they wear anything higher than an ankle skirt and discover Shandy Bass, kids are forever being told they are 'growing up too fast'. 

Well this grumbling warning may finally have some substance - with the disturbing emergence of the 'baby wig'. That's right, the toupée - usually reserved for people losing their hair - is now an option for nippers yet to sprout their first strands. 

The wigs are sold by a firm called ‘Baby Bangs!’ and start at $29.95. Unsurprisingly, this has provoked a vitriolic response on Twitter, with people like ‏@obsolesence  writing simply: ‘I despair.’ 

Unsurprisingly these critiques do not appear to have made it onto the ‘what people are saying’ page of the company’s website.
