Does shaving increase hair growth in infants? Is it good or bad to shave baby hair?
Shaving hair has no impact on hair growth. Hair texture, color, and growth rate are determined by genes. It is 100 percent genetics and nothing else. Some babies will have slower hair growth and it is normal. Parents should worry only if their baby has no hair growth until they are 1 or 2 years old. Some parents shave their baby's head to grow thicker hair. Unfortunately, all they will have is a bald baby.
Keep your baby's scalp and hair clean by using a mild baby shampoo. Just lather once and rinse thoroughly once in 3 days. Your baby will be fine with healthy hair.

ReplyDeleteNo, shaving does not increase hair growth in babies or anyone else. This is a common myth. Hair growth is determined by genetics and hormones, not by shaving or cutting hair. When hair is shaved, it may appear thicker or darker initially because the hair shaft is cut at a blunt angle, but this does not actually affect the hair's growth rate or thickness. The hair will grow back at the same rate and with the same texture as it did before shaving.
ReplyDeleteNo, shaving does not increase hair growth in babies or in anyone else. This is a common myth. The belief likely comes from the fact that when hair is shaved, it can appear thicker or darker as it grows back. This is because the razor cuts the hair at the surface of the skin, creating a blunt edge on the hair shaft. As the hair grows back, the blunt edge might make the hair feel coarser or look darker temporarily, but the shaving process itself does not affect the hair follicle's ability to produce hair.
ReplyDeleteHair growth is determined by genetics, hormones, and other factors, not by shaving or cutting. In babies, hair growth patterns will develop naturally over time, and there is no need to shave a baby's head to influence how their hair grows.
No, shaving does not increase hair growth in babies. Hair growth is determined by genetics, and shaving only cuts the hair at the surface; it doesn’t affect future growth patterns.
