She is just a tiny baby! Her hair will grow if given time. In the meantime, you can put pretty headbands around her head that are decorated with girly stuff like flowers or whatever you like, and let her just be her adorable little self. Adults are the ones who can use pills and supplements for hair, but children are much too young for any kind of intervention about their hair.

If she's just a year old, there's still time before it will grow out. Just like with adults, some hair grows fast and some grows slower. With proper and consistent moisturization and care, her hair can grow and be healthy.
Just thinking...she must have a little curly 'fro and if you part it and clip it with little barrettes she probably has little afro puffs. They will soon grow to short pigtails, then eventually pigtails with a little length. At 1 year-old, there's not much to worry about, unless you see signs of hair falling out, etc. At that point you will need to see a doctor. It sounds to me, though, that baby girl's hair just grows a little slowly. By the time she's three her hair may be much longer.

A lot of us have that problem but what I find that works is putting the hair in plaits or several ponytails. Braids also pull the hair and create tiny bumps around the hairline and in the scalp but if only done occasionally it shouldn't pose a problem. Plaiting the hair regularly without tight rubberbands helps. And whatever ponyholders you use on the individual plaits, you should take them out at night. Keep her hair greased regularly and you should see some results.

Use Carol's Daughter products

don't put in extensions and avoid styles that pull the hair. And I'm sure you already know this but do not put any type of relaxer in her hair. If she wants to do that when she's older it's her choice. Just give her a strong foundation of hair to start with.

She's just a little baby for petes sake.. Do you expect her to have long flowing tresses.. Most little babies i see are bald headed with little puffs of hair here and there..
Please dont turn into one of those mommas who put a weeve and braids into their daughters hair at age 2 - 5. It looks terrible and it's not healthy for their young tender growing hair.

Refrain from styles that require excessive pulling. Keep the hair moisturized and the scalp greased. I find that braids keep you from agitating the hair on a daily basis and my daughters hair respond very well to cornrows and plaits. I avoid ballies at all cost.

You might try the carrot oil which is suppossed to help Afro-Am hair grow faster. It is available in the ethnic hair care section at Longs Drugs.

I would suggest braids and beads but don't braid her hair too tight. If you braid it tight it will mess up her hair line and you don't want her to have a big forehead. Don't give her a pirm yet, it's positively to early for that just yet.
