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…

@pinnkmom, he’s such a cutie 😍❤️

@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

@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!

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

@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

@aileen_west, yeah that’s my mothers belief too! Did you notice a difference in your sons hair ?

@pinnkmom, oh I feel you on that. Yes you totally should! ❤️

@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

@pinnkmom, such beautiful hair tho 😍😍😍 I’m sure when he gets older he’ll grow it out some.

@leslyev92, thanks girl ! I feel like he looks like a little man now. We no longer get the “she’s so pretty” comments ! Lol

@leslyev92,

@leslyev92, this was his hair before 🤗

@pinnkmom, he’s such a cutie 😍❤️

@leslyev92, I cut it all off !!! 😩😩

@pinnkmom, you trimmed it or did you shave him bald ?

Yeah I can’t do it to my baby girl. Just can’t lol

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.

@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.

@leslyev92 Exactly I'm sure she will be beautiful no matter what, hair and all, short or long.

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.

@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.

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

@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.

@taylorsmommy1017, that’s crazy!!! Has the dr said anything about it growing back at some point?

(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...

@angelfoodcake, yeah it’s something our parents believed in, I got all my hair cut off as a baby 😒

I've never heard of that being true at all; I thought it was a traditional... I personally would not.

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

@raquely, her hair is beautiful 😍
