So my bf is convinced that we NEED to cut our little girls hair when she’s born, for thicker hair. I did it with my boys because, well they’re boys so I didn’t mind them being bald for a little. But for a girl I’m so hesitant, thoughts on this?
I’ve looked online and it’s not proven that the hair would come out better or thicker but please correct me if I’m wrong!
I def wouldn't do it. Most babies lose.most of their hair a few months after birth anyways, so you'll basically be starting over twice
I've never heard of that being true at all; I thought it was a traditional... I personally would not.
@angelfoodcake, yeah it’s something our parents believed in, I got all my hair cut off as a baby 😒
(in a very polite non disrespectful tone) What's the belief behind it? Or even purpose of cultivating "more hair"; hair does not justify the person, nor their heart, or even beauty - regardless of what we often gravitate too...
@taylorsmommy1017, that’s crazy!!! Has the dr said anything about it growing back at some point?
@angelfoodcake, well my mother said she cut my hair because it was too thin and so by cutting it, it would be thicker/stronger.
I would assume my bf was told the same, we’re both 25 & come from hispanic households who, if I’m not mistaken, are the ones that believe this to be true. I don’t want my daughter to be bald, unless she is born that way and tbh I don’t think it makes a difference at all in the hair.
Oh I see, glad the reasoning isn't based on vanity or superstition, was about to pull out some scriptures. Lol. And I've heard of the tradition maybe from a particular African tribe, can't quite remember. Just do what you feel is right love
@taylorsmommy1017, I would be freaking out, yeah I really don’t wanna cut my daughters hair. I feel like whatever hair she is born with will be beautiful. No need to try and change it.
In the south black community I've heard often not cutting boys hair until 1 because it's bad luck. I don't believe or participate in that either. I think 1 is okay to wait, or whenever + personal choice, but not based off luck. Just silly.
@leslyev92 Exactly I'm sure she will be beautiful no matter what, hair and all, short or long.
@angelfoodcake, thank you and oh I’d never heard of that, I did cut my both my boys hair at a year old, because that’s when they needed it.
I’m not cutting my daughter’s hair! That would be too traumatizing! Lol I just cut my son’s birth hair after 2.5yrs of growth. I still get sad about it.
@pinnkmom, you trimmed it or did you shave him bald ?
Yeah I can’t do it to my baby girl. Just can’t lol
@leslyev92, thanks girl ! I feel like he looks like a little man now. We no longer get the “she’s so pretty” comments ! Lol
@pinnkmom, such beautiful hair tho 😍😍😍 I’m sure when he gets older he’ll grow it out some.
@leslyev92, I know! I almost had a mental breakdown after I cut it. I felt like it was a mistake! Lol but thanks, I think we are gonna let it grow out again
@aileen_west, yeah that’s my mothers belief too! Did you notice a difference in your sons hair ?
@aileen_west, if you look at previous comments, someone said their friend cut their daughters hair & little one is now 3 & her hair hasn’t grown out. That’s pretty scary to me lol
We waited til she turned 1 and trimmed very little bit of the tips all around and literaly her hair grew soooo much after that
@deepsoul0490, see now that I’m not against, trimming her hair I know will help her hair to grow just like it helps ours! Thanks mama!
@aileen_west, def if that’s what you want and believe will work then do it lol I just don’t think it makes much of a difference in my opinion and I don’t wanna see my baby girl bald unless she’s born that way already. I’ll love her bald little head lol
