listen

It's a cultural practice also it's mostly done Where the climate is hotter, so the baby doesn’t get overheated.

Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it

Lmao

again, a myth. children will not get overheated by hair unless they are wearing blankets and thick clothing, none of which is safe for infants regardless

yeah in my culture we usually shave girls hair the most so it can grow thick and long my parents said i had thin and no hair as a little one so they shaved it off my hair is super long and thick ofc its curly so its a pain to take care of it

It's a CULTURAL PRACTICE. It doesn’t have to make any sense. They've been doing it for thousands of years. It's not harming the baby. And yes they think it will make their kids hair long and strong as well!

Mine too! It is done to boys too. They make their children shave once every summer untill they are 7-8.

The practice rarely occurs with boys. In my culture having long thick hair is regarded as a beauty standard. Usually, we do it when they are around a year or a few months old.

just because something is cultural doesn't mean you can advocate for it not to be done lol there are actually studies to show childrens scalp should be protected by hair, even if it is a thin layer of it. over all, useless practice that might actually do harm
