Na superstition o. It pains me to see babies adorable hair shaved at one. Oyinbos don't shave their babies hair. Muslims shave theirs on the 7th day abi na 8th day ( naming ceremony) and not bother to shave off again except if the baby is a boy.I will keep my baby's hair for as long as its comfy for him or her. In fact, my lil man is gonna be wearing cornrows to school mehn 75 Likes 2 Shares |

My Ist daughter is almost 11 years old, while my 2nd daughter is 8 years old and since I gave birth to them till date, their hair has not been cut. My mom told me then that the hair will fall off if I don't cut it, my nosy aunt in the US said the same thing but today they both have natural beautiful long hair that my 2nd daughter is even complaining that it is too thick to comb and I should cut it cos its too full. (No plans to use hair relaxer till further notice) All in all follow your heart and do what you feel is right for your kids. 74 Likes 1 Share |

The hair is one of the things that make the female child beautiful. Nobody is going to shave my daughter's head, not even when she starts school. If the school doesn't like It, I will go and build my own school for her to attend. I am not joking! 47 Likes 2 Shares |

Does shaving your baby's head encourage hair growth? The straight answer: No The facts: In many Asian cultures, it is believed that shaving a baby's first head of hair helps to promote hair growth. It is not uncommon to see month-old babies whose heads have been entirely shaved, in the hope that their locks grow back thicker, fuller, and healthier. But there is simply no evidence to suggest that this practice is helpful at all. We are all born with a specific number of hair follicles on our head. These follicles are basically sacs from which the hair grows. The follicles determine how much hair we will have throughout our lifetime, as well as dictating the texture and type of hair: fine, medium, coarse, straight, wavy or curly. According to Leonica Kei, director and senior trichologist at Philip Kingsley Trichological Centre in Singapore, the number of hair follicles we have is genetically predisposed 7 Likes 1 Share |

I still asked my mom this question two days ago cos I don't want them to cut my nephew's hair. She told me they cut it cos perpetrators of evil are everywhere and they could use a child's birth hair for their evil deeds. 2 Likes |

Removing the baby's hair at infant is suggesting to me that God Almighty that allowed it from the womb is not as wise as the parent of the baby.... No wonder He gave a serious warning concerning Samson's hair. 3 Likes |

Its an Islamic thing, its Muslims I know that make it compulsory. As for other that do it its basically superstition, My hair was not cut at birth, didn't cut it till I entered sec sch. I do find shaving the head of a new born baby very risky, the scalp is just too tender for scraping in my opinion. 7 Likes 1 Share |
