POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 years agoA. Though this is a widely performed practice around the world, especially in India, shaving the baby’s head, or mundan, is not backed by science. Many people believe that shaving the head will lead to healthy, thick, and luscious hair in the future, which is not true. The quality of a person’s hair is determined by genetics, nourishment, and other factors. The texture and quality of hair does not change by shaving the head, but is a definite possibility if the right nourishment is given to the body and hair. It is common for babies to lose hair after they are born, with the new hair that comes in being a different texture, and even colour. However this is based on genetics. Parents may panic if the hair that grows back is different, prompting a ‘shaving ritual’. Before you shave off your baby’s locks, try giving him the proper nutrition needed for great skin and hair, and see the difference.Every child is unique and different. In the same way, their hair has different needs and reacts differently to various products and practices. Stay patient, take things slow, and you will eventually get results.
