Should i shave my baby hair?
I used to shave mine because I was so self conscious and hated it, but it only makes it grow back more obvious. I tried just letting it grow out enough so that it now blends in with the rest of my hair, which is what I recommend you do. For a while it might be quite obvious but it will soon grow and you could always clip it out of the way so that you can't see it or something? But I definitely don't recommend you shaving it off, as when I did, it looked even worse.
Can I shave my baby hair?
It is so bad to shave your baby hair! Not only will it grow back quickly, but twice as thick and noticeable! It's best to leave these hairs alone, unless you plan on getting laser hair removal to permanently rid yourself of them. Look into something like Sally Hansen's cream hair removal. I use that for the blonde hairs that I get on my lipline and it doesn't make it grow back thicker or a darker color. Do not, DO NOT, shave it!!! xo
Shaving Baby's Head?
Let me share my experience as an occassional bald-child during my infancy as well as early school life in Karachi. I am from Bengali Muslim family and my parents would follow our religious dictums and cultural rituals too. I am not sure if there is anything written in our Qura'an or Hadiths whereby the baby would be required to be shaved after or within 40-days from birth. But my parents would do this dutifully (mom in particular) to see that we get not only the first shave within 40-days of birth but also occassional shaving of head almost in every year during summer holidays of schools. We the little friends and primary-school colleagues would tease such bald-headed kids mercilessly even though we knew that almost everyone among us would undergo such ritual 'humiliation' of varied degrees in their childhood. The girls were not subjected to such humiliation after a few years as the bald-headed girls are not a happy-girl as well as mom & dad would not like to see their girls head turn 'ugly' after the shave. We almost abandoned such practices for our own kids and the trend in these days in Bangladesh is also supporting it as we are now learning psychological scar we unknowingly inflict on our beloved sons and daughters by such old-fashioned rituals which have no scientific base to support as far as the thicker and all-over-the-head hair myth is concerned. Important thing is, let the baby or child have most of their joys and happiness enjoyed in childhood as coming days would be too strenuous for them to sustain allsorts of 'pressures' due to ever demanding things coming on their way.
Shaving a baby's head..........?
No, it doesn't, and yes, it does seem to work. The hair-follicle (correct spelling?) inside the skin has no idea that the hair has been cut off. However, since hairs start thin and colourless, and are thicker and blacker in the middle, cutting the hair means it comes back up at the point where you cut it - the black, thicker middle. If you yank a hair out, it has to start all over again, with the soft tip, slowly builing up to a strong hair. What you are doing is curring that tip. It's the same as a woman's leg: Shave it, and the hair continues to grow where it was cut off; touch the sharp end, and you may conclude the hair is stronger and thicker than it was before. The hair hasn't changed, however; you've just removed the softer tip. Last example: The top of a tree is nice and round and soft. Cut the tree off, and you're left with the stem. The bit that is now the top of the tree is the stem; it's much harder than the origininal top, but the stem is no thicker than it was before.
Shaving a baby's head for culture/Islam?
I did this with both of my children. The children born with hair are born with a charity. The parents are to shave it off and give the weight of the hair in gold or silver as zakat. It's meant to help those less fortunate. I never saw a problem with it although my mother hated it. I still shave my son's head, but not bald like when he was a baby. As long as it's not harming the baby it's fine. And it is for Islam. Cultures add their own things along with it, but the core of it is Islamic and it is sunnah.
I shaved off my baby hair?! URGENT!!?
How long it will take to grow back depends on how long you want it to grow. Hair, when it's not breaking, can grow surprisingly fast. Human hair can grow up to 6 inches a year. If your baby hairs are like mine, they're only an inch or two long, so you could have it back to normal in a couple of months. As it's baby hair, it'll be really fine and probably won't stick up directly straight (think of how your leg hair grows!) You definitely don't want to keep shaving it, that would just prolong your issue. Your best bet for making it unnoticeable is to cover it up, instead of trying to do something with it. If it's at the part in the centre of your head, can you part your hair down the side? If how it looks really worries you, could you get bangs or side bangs to hide that area of your head? Think long and hard and get someone you trust's decisions before you go get your hair cut more though, just spend a night in front of your mirror and try out different styles. Good luck! :)
