Need a doctor's advice here, My baby is one month old and since my in laws are from kerala they want me to put kajal for her eyes and eyebrows which will make her eyes bigger and eyebrows black and thicker. i do not see any logical sense behind. Need doctors advise as i do not want any kind of unnecessary advice for my child.(my hair and eyebrows are brown in colour which i inherited from my mother and my own sister's hair and eyebrows are black as she inherited from my father) I am from north india and we never used kajal for eyebrows.
