According to Quora, there is no specific age at which it is appropriate to start wearing wigs. People of all ages may choose to wear wigs for various reasons, such as to conceal hair loss, to change their hairstyle or colour without damaging their natural hair, or simply as a fashion accessory.
Netizens unsettled by baby girl in lace wig
Although whether or not a parent chooses to put their child in a wig is completely up to them, many netizens called out the mother for being inappropriate. Others said she indirectly taught her child that her natural looks were not good enough.
