There is an opinion that if a baby is shaved, his hair will grow thick and beautiful. This method was used by our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. In fact, it's only partly true. The baby's hair will indeed seem thicker, but only because it will grow evenly. So it is inherent in nature that human hair grows unevenly: some strands are long, others are shorter. The fact that the baby seems bald is just a temporary phenomenon, because the bulk of his hair has not yet grown. It is impossible to make the child's hair more dense, just by shaving off his first hairs. All the same, they will grow on the head as much as there are hair follicles. This is largely influenced by heredity. Shaving the baby will not affect the quality of the hair and their structure in the future.
Another old omen is that the kid should not be trimmed earlier than he will be a year old. Our grandmothers believed that if you cut a child, less than a year, then he will begin to get very sick and may even die. Other grandmothers claimed that a small child with hair can cut tongue, that is speech. The child, trimmed to one year, will not talk for a long time. This sign from the scientific point of view has no confirmation. That is, if your baby was born with thick and long hairs, you can cut it for up to a year. Experts nevertheless do not recommend cutting their babies shortly after birth. It is necessary to wait at least a month. During this time, the child will grow stronger.
Despite the fact that the baby's hair has not yet been formed, it is necessary to brush his hair from birth, no matter how many hairs on his head: much or little. For combing, a wooden comb with rounded teeth will do. You need to comb your baby once a day - in the evening. First, comb all the hairs to the right, then to the left, then against the growth, and at the end - in the direction of hair growth. This massage increases hair growth, strengthens the roots, stimulates the nerve endings of the child.
Often moms think about the fact that instead of a homemade haircut, it's better to take the child to a hairdresser. This is also your personal choice. At the same time there is not a certain age from which you can lead a child to a hairdresser. But think, can your little one sit still during the haircuts?
The first haircut is best done at home. All the same, the model haircut on small hairs will not work even with a hairdresser, and you can even cut and straighten the hairs at home. In the hairdresser's better to register already when the baby will understand why this procedure is needed, and that cutting hair - it does not hurt at all. Moreover, at home you can collect shaved baby hair and keep them for memory. They say that the first children's hair brings profit to the family. At home, the baby will not be nervous or worried. For a hairstyle, you will need: a sprayer, scissors with rounded edges and a comb. The main thing is to be able to seat the child. Of course, you will need someone's help. It is better to turn a haircut into a game - use dolls, books to distract the child. After the haircut is over, show the kid himself in the mirror, praise him, tell me what he has become beautiful.
About the choice of hair, you can say only one thing: a small child - the most charming creature in the world, he looks cute with any hairdo, so there is no such thing as a "fashionable children's haircut." The main qualities of a child's hair: simplicity, comfort and naturalness.
