A ten-month-old girl has sprouted fabulous locks so 'thick and lush and shiny' strangers mistake it for a wig.
Glasgow mum Alessandra McCurry was astonished when newborn baby Marissa arrived into the world with a full 'mop' of hair.
She was born by caeserean section last year, and when the 32-year-old mum was handed her daughter for the first time, she was at first entranced by her newborn's huge blue eyes.
"I took her back to the babies' room, everyone in the room was just shocked- I was showing her off."

"I was going her on about 'her eyes, her eyes, her eyes,' and everyone else was like 'just look at her hair' She's so beautiful."
An astonished Miss McCurry tried blow-drying Marissa's hair when she was still a newborn and the tiny baby seemed delighted, so she's kept on doing it.
"She loves it, she absolutely just loves it," Miss McCurry says.
Footage the mum captured of Marissa under the hairdryer at just three weeks old shows the baby wriggling with delight as her locks are blown into a shock of thick, dark spikes.
Miss McCurry thought Marissa's hair growth might slow to a typical rate for a baby.
But the tiny tot's impressive mane just keeps on growing- and has become a lot tamer as she gets older.
At ten months old, it's already a 'wee bob,' Miss McCurry says.
The mum says friends have commented that Marissa looks a bit like Rihanna, as the baby's hair has somehow grown into an on-trend shoulder length bob similar to the pop-star's.
Miss McCurry said she doesn't have any plans to cut her little girl's hair. She is intrigued to see just how long it will grow given the rate it's going already.
"She keeps getting more and more, it grows so fast - it's amazing."
The mum had not been expecting to need to style her daughter's hair for some years yet, and says she had been searching YouTube for 'how to style a 10-month-old's hair.'
She usually prefers to leave Marissa's hair natural, as it's currently at the length of a 'wee bob.'
Sometimes she pins a little bow in her daughter's locks.
She says her doting partner fusses over their daughter's hair too.
"Everyone's always going 'oh my god,' look at her hair! He's quote a show off with her as well."
The couple's son, Markis was also born with a head of lovely, thick hair too.
He was born premature on Halloween at just 25 weeks' gestation, and his proud mum describes her boy as her 'little miracle baby.'
Markis has special needs, so the busy mum is regularly out and about with her two children in Glasgow, and says the trio get a lot of attention thanks to her children's eye-catching hairdos.
Miss McCurry says strangers often stop her to admire Marissa's hair, and she overhears passers-by commenting on it in the streets.
She said people often comment it looks like an 'adult's' hair, and sometimes doubt it's even real.
"Everywhere we go it's just constant. I hear people in front of me of the street - 'did you see that baby's hair' and people say 'you've got to get her into modelling, she's so beautiful'."
