PresVA:
Really don't know the reason for the practice. .. However, I know many babies have hairs so difficult to comb at birth; many mothers even desire it shaved to ease pain on the baby...

Whatever though. .. shaving my baby's hair or not isn't a problem to me... All I need is a healthy growth in both mind and body....

I don't believe in the first year shaving but my kid's hair started falling of naturally because of that. It took a longer period to grow back and the growth was uneven for sometime. So I had to shave others after their first birthday.

BlackAlbino6:


So for how long did it take the hair to grow back normally?

byvan03:




I had to cut up to 4 times more for it to start growing normally. Those portions that fell of naturally refuse to grow with others until he cuts a few times more. Though before the hair started falling off, I trimmed the back and sides with scissors. I think it needed to be scraped to grow normally, which is what I did eventually.


Others never had this experience because I cut the entire thing after 1st birthday, so it won't start falling naturally.

My aunties and cousins trim their kid's have before their first birthday, then shave it completely on the first birthday. They said it will enable the hair to grow evenly.

BlackAlbino6:


There is this beauty in children's hair that makes me feel, it shouldn't be shaved. Maybe the hair might continue just the way the child was born.

BlissP:
plea with them to give u a chance of microscopic check. I will appreciate feedback on the number of lice u fetch out

Siena:


My eldest daughter has dreadlocks. It's as clean as afro / short hair. She's never had lice either.

Orkpekyandega:


Why growing up, I used to think the reason why white children's hair if different from the black is because, theirs is not shaved right from childhood.

BlackAlbino6:

So what will happen if you do not shave the hair? Does it harm the baby?

If you decide to shave the baby's hair, does it harm the baby?

You love seeing a full head of hair on a baby, good for you.

However that doesn't mean those that decide to shave their baby's hair have done any wrong you know.

It's nothing major.

Chidoks:

BlackAlbino6, come and see a major reason why the hair should be shaved though not very early

BlissP:
yea' we have natural & artificial dreadlocks' I am not talking of the fashion made dread". My concern is d natural dread(DaDa)" to me, it's totally absurd leaving a child's hair from birth till adult hood. Doesn't make sense@all

My baby's hair is soooo cute.
I don't ever want to shave it.

So it really begins to fall of if you don't shave it first?

This is your first experience at child-bearing ? ..chai.. [b]and I thought you were a pro.[

It starts falling off when the infant is 3 or 4 months old, but it's not compulsory you shave it off. Hair grows from the follicle, whatever shaving is done on the surface makes absolutely no difference. The baby's hair would naturally become thicker over the course of time.
