Many believe that shaving the baby’s head helps stimulate hair growth and thickens hair strands. However, there is no scientific research to back this belief. Hair experts say that the thickness, length, and quality of hair is decided by genetics, and shaving of the head does not contribute to its growth in any way (3). Shaving should only be done by an experienced person or a professional, using proper equipments safely. And any cuts should be hygienically handled, treated using first aid and if need be, shown to a doctor.
