Shaving babies hair to help it grow back thicker?!

As a pervious hair stylist, it is a myth that shaving makes hair grow back thicker. Shaving doesn’t affect what’s under your skin, the hair follicles which is based on genetics/your health. (It’s the illusion, shaving the wispy uneven hair then it will now grow all at the same time and length to then seem “thicker”) So I would personally leave it be but to each their own

Please, do not shave her head again. My family did it to me because my grandparents said it would grow back stronger. It did not, and I spent my first years of life being mistaken for a boy…

It’s a thing in Indonesia too. But I didn’t shave her head because she moves too much so I don’t want to accidentally hurt her. It’s more like a myth because shaving can make the hair stick up more or look coarser but it doesn’t make it actually thicker

It took my baby a long time for her hair to grow too. Also at 3 months they start balding from the rolling and in their sleep. It will grow back

Just give it time but you can also use cotton bed sheets to reduce friction to prevent balding. And you can use rosemary water or oil

No .

It takes months for them to grow that hair the first time in the womb, and as they grow their follicles change shape and mature so the texture and even colour of the hair can alter. Personally I wouldn't do it, the only reason it might grow back different is because it was already going to...

Cultural myth, it all comes down to genetics x

I think babies lose a lot of hair whether we help them out or not 😄 I've heard it can hormonal (like our hair loss postpartum) and because of friction. Once they're not laying down so much it should grow in easier. My first took maybe a year to have a full head of hair and now at 2 it's like sheeps wool 😂 just give it time x

Girl I just responded to the title, I wasn't disrespectful 🤔 take it easy

Ps scientific info here that I know- baby loses all the birth hair by month 3 and 4 and starts getting new growth that their hair is meant to be. My baby looked bald till like 13 months we got the suggestion as well but we love his natural hair. It all depends on genetics and I think it will thicken when the baby gets older. Lots of docs have made reels saying shaving does nothing so 100000% a cultural myth

Shaving doesnt help it grow back thicker so shaving it again wouldn't help your situation.

Babies also tend to lose all the hair they had at birth (not all obviously but its very common). Mine was fully bald at 6 months old and by a year she needs a bang trim and clips.

Some babies are bald until theyre 2. Its just genetics. Cant do anything to make it grow faster just enjoy your bald baby.
