Every parent hopes their baby will attract admiring glances.
Her mother, Stephanie Pleasance, said: "Most people when they see a baby say 'Isn't she cute?'. When people see her, they say "Look at her hair!'."
Katie-Lee's father, Danny Webster, added: "No one we've met has ever seen anything like it - we're forever being stopped in the street and asked, 'Is that a wig?'."
Indeed, some observers could draw comparisons with Russ Abbot's screen character C U Jimmy, whose ginger toupee is as outrageous as his behaviour.
Katie-Lee's hair is, of course, natural. Her father, a print worker, is a redhead so there is no mystery as to where she gets it from.
He and Katie-Lee's mother, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, were born almost completely bald, but their first child has had her extraordinary head of hair since day one.
It's now more than 3in long.
Having such a head start can lead to problems.
Earlier this year Eden Lurie's hair was deemed too long and spiky when the four-month-old went to have her passport photo taken in Manchester.
Staff had to give her a virtual haircut on a computer so she did not fall foul of guidelines.
Jamie Hetherington from Northumberland caused a stir when he developed a natural Mohican look when he was four months old
Similarly, Charlie Zecca from Gloucester boasted a Beatle-style mop before his first haircut.
