Hi!
I' m having a 2yr 11month daughter. Her hair is very soft and curly hair. So far we have never cut her hair but my mom says that it is mandatory for a girl to get her headshaved in a religious place at least once in a life time. More over she wants to shave our daughters head many more times so as to promote better hair growth. Is it true that hair grows better and thicker after headshave?
Please comment and help us out.. neither me and nor my wife are much interested in shaving her head but if it is good for our daughter then we are ready to proceed, please advice us and help us out.

Hi the same was the case in my house a couple of months and we fought with it and i made a point that my daughter will not have the head shaved to some religious place and we got it done at my nearby salon.

Hi Ayush please do not feel bad but you should make your mother understand that having a head shaved in some religious place is just a money making process and should not follow it, please do not follow these rituals.

Hi Ayush we are sikhs and we dont follow this ritual and let me tell you that i have two daughters and we never did the head shaving of them and the growth of my daughters hair are very much strong and smooth so its all myth.

Going to some religious place and having the head shave is just a bad idea and waste of money as who said that having head shaved in some religious place will bring luck and happiness its just money making process.

Hi Ayush i have a four year old boy and we have done his head shave twice and must tell you that after the second head shave the new growth of hair was even better then the earlier one so please do not worry and get it done.
