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.

Ayush i think you should not worry and panic in this situation as this is a good thing to happen and you must do it.According to me the hair which is grown after the first head shave of a child is much good. Nisha replied. Hi Ayush please do not worry and get your daughters head shaved fully, as its really good and it will have a good impact on it as the new growth will be very thick and proper. Monika replied. Hi there its a common thing followed by Indians and i must say its very beneficial for the child, as the hair should be shaved once and will be very beneficial for the growth of the child. Ankita replied. Hi its a good omen in India. please do not consider it as a negative thing and also its good for your child's hair growth and proper thickness of the hair. maya replied. yes it is good when u shave ur head it grows more thick and clean. actually scientific reason for the head shave of the baby is these are the hair are since it is in a mother's womb so it is dirty so when u get a head shave of the baby it will be get clean and new hair will be thick and strong. Radha replied. Your daughter is very young. There should be no problem in her going around with a shaved head for a few months. So go ahead and follow your mom' s advice.
In fact, her scalp skin will become more healthy if her head is shaved once in a while - say once or twice a year till she turns 10 years old. Till then you can keep her head a short boycut generally and shaved in summers. After 10 years allow it to grow full length. At 15 she will have very long, dense and healthy hair. Do it.. replied. Since your daughter is only around 3 years old it should not be a problem at all. Get her tonsured every summer for around 2-3 times until she is 5-7 years old, that will help her grow good hair later in her life.. :)
