Head banging: Head banging in a two year old may sometimes be a sign of increased intracranial pressure.See your pediatrician about the possibility of a referral to a neurologist or getting an MRI or a ct scan.

Positive ignoring: Head banging is just an amplification of early infant fussing.It peaks in preverbal years .I've never heard or seen a head banger with a real head injury. This likely caught on when he noticed it grabbed your attention.If you ignore it(don't lock eyes), watching him out of peripheral vision, for safety, it should fade over time.Teaching some sign language may help with the frustration.
