I have a 2 year old baby, elders are insisting on shaving her first born hair. We want to check itup with experts, whether shaving off the hair in head will help in further good and healthy growth of hair or not.

i did hear of this, though i never did it to my son. but this little boy that i use to watch his mother did that to him and i asked her why and she said it makes the hair grow back thicker. she said she even did it to her daughter too. personally i could not tell the difference when his grew back.

ok the child is no longer a baby but a toddler, and is also a girl. Shave hair????? Don't think so. I did make sure my girls had good hair cuts at one year as for tradition and trimming it does seem to help it to grow in a little faster and thicker. It looks healthier after a cut too instead on the thin wispy uneven pieces. Alot of it is a matter of preference and what you feel comfortable with. My boys had hair cuts at 1yr and a few times after that now I buzz them to about 1/2 inch. as for my girls my 8yr olds hair is thick healthy and to her waist. my 6yrolds is half way down her back strong and curly go with your heart on this and of course discuss it with your husband. find what is good for you and your family don't just try to please others. good luck

this shaving does nothing. it my grow back a bit corser just for a bit because shaving is usually done in a different angle as the hair might grow. but the shaving of a first borns hair is a pointless tradition that just involves using sharp utensils on a babies soft head. i wouldn't do it. the hair will grow as it grows and shaving will do nothing to change that but make the baby look funny for a bit

There are no advantages to shaving the babies hair off, it does not grow faster or thicker,people might think it does because when you shave all the hair off you are making all the ends the same length and blunt.

It's customary in India and has been in practise for centuries. This has no known problems reported.
It helps cleaning the scalp and the fresh healthy hair grows after this.

when my brother was a 1 year old baby,
his hair was growing alot and it looked weird.
it would always go up so my mom
shaved it off.
and his hair is fine now.. i would say just be careful
if you are shaving it yourself cause you know babies
are sensitive..

Well, cutting hair makes it grow back faster. Besides, babies look cute without hair.
