Growing Hair

You can't do anything about that. She will eventually grow hair, but there is nothing that you can give her to make it grow faster. My neice had little to no hair until she was about 3 1/2 years old and now she has a full head of hair. You just have to wait for it to grow on its own.

There is absolutely nothing you can do for hair that won't grow. I was almost 4 when my fuzz finally became hair. And now my 6 month old boy is totally bald. Brushing it will not help...and shaving it won't make it grow in thicker...this is all nonsense! Hair is what it is. Stick some bows to her head and move on.

You have been given some good advice. My 3 year old God-daughter has very fine hair but at 4 years old her mom had her hair cut into a cute style which made her look adorable. She is small and petite for her age. Her mom cut it again. Melanie's hair started to grow out stronger and healthier. She now has a beautiful head of hair. It has grown half way down her back (six years old). Hair is what you eat also. So feed your baby healthy foods (vitamins to supplement) and keep the scalp and hair clean/ conditioned. Most of all be patient and love her hair the way it is. Love always makes anything grow.

there is nothing that will make hair grow but time. My daughter is 15mos and has very little hair. I didnt have any until I was about 2 now I have tons. Do NOT shave the hair!! I agree it will change the texture (become very rough)

I agree the best thing to do is wait. My little sister was also one of those who had little to no hair the first few years... but once it took off.... I am jealous of her hair sometimes cause it grows so well.

Hi N.
When my daughter was small she had very short hair. I would look at other little girls her age with their hair in cute little ponytails. People told me that I needed to "pull my daughters hair out" but that didnt work. What I started doing because she was too young for chemicals is that I brushed her hair at least three to four times a day for about two minutes. By the time she was five, her hair was literally down her back. Patience and a lot of love. Take time to keep her scalp moisturized but don't use anything to heavy because it will prolong the growth. I always use coconut oil but before you buy it, rub your finger in it to make sure it is really light.
My daughters hair is very Nappy...(lets be real about it) but now it is so strong and beautiful that no one would ever know.
Don't use rubberbands. Just get her bowretts for now and do a freestyle style. Hope this was helpful.

Shave her head, it might kick her hair follicles into action. I did it to my six month old and her hair not only grows faster, but it came back thicker. It did take about a month to grow back, but it was worth the wait. If you don't have the heart to do this try the brushing the hair 500 strokes every night.

just be patient....once my daughter came off formula and started drinkking whole milk, her hair got super thick and long AND CURLY!! it happened almost overnight. i look at pics from her 1st bday party and then a few months later at easter and it was like a total change. she is 20 months now and i am doing pig tails, pony tails and all kinds of stuff! just keep her on the dairy and plenty of milk. good luck!

The only thing that will help it is time. I was bald until I was over two, and my daughter is 6 months and is just now getting peach fuzz. Just wait. It will come in.

Hi N., the only thing you can do is to be patient. My daughter was the same way so I understand your frustration. Her hair didn't get long until she was three. Try super cute headbands instead of pony tails.

Don't do anything about her hair not growing right now. It will eventually. My daughter did not have much hair when she was a toddler,by the time she turned five years old her hair was all the way down her back to her bottom,it was so long and full.It was so beautiful.

I too did not have hair until I was 2 years old and now I have more than I know what to do with. Very thick and very healthy. Just let God do the work and she will be ok. I am sure it bothers you a lot more than it bother her or anyone else. You can also use Karo Syrup to put a bow in her hair so everyone will know she is a girl and not a boy. That is what my mom did for nearly 2 years.

All I ask is please do not shave her head. My husband thinks that is the answer, but don't. Just try to give her a trim every once in a while. I know her hair is short but it is in a way the same as taking care of flowers. Sometimes you need to cut off the ends to make room for the new growth. Don't feel bad I had the same problem and still do with my daughter of 22 months but slowly but surely her hair is beginning to grow. Just have patience. Hope it helps............

All you can do is wait. My nephews have little hair at 2 and a half. For the record i think the little ponytails that shoot out of the rubberbands are adorable.

There's really nothing you can do to make it grow faster.... my 10 month old niece is almost bald! I mean literally, she just has a little on top her head and that's it. As long as she's healthy, don't fuss too much.

first of all do not shave her head!! It doesn't make her hair grow any faster. Your hair grows from inside at your hair follicle when you shave your head it is just cutting the hair from outside the scalp. there is nothing you could do besides make sure she is eating a well balanced nutritous diet.every child is different and their hair all comes in at different rates some slower than others the only thing you can do is be patient and know it will eventuall come in.

I don't think there is anything you can do. My daughter does not have hair also. As a baby, I did not really grow "girl" hair until I was two. Your baby will get that hair you want, just at her time. :)

I had the same problem with my daughter's hair. I was given advice to get the ends trimmed and when I did, her hair started to grow and turned out she had beautiful ringlet curls

Hi there . You might want to try Redken Oh so long Shampoo and conditioner . I used this on both of my girls , and now they have hair down in the middle of there backs . I started to see results in about a month . I alos use silk drops from the ion product line . It helps the haior cutical to soften they say . Most importantly just hang in there . It will eventually get there . Good luck .

I have 5 girls and all of their hairs grew slow. I do not recommend shaving her head, my ex did that to my 9 year old when she was 1 and now her hair is so thick you can barely brush threw it. I have twin girls and they are 3 and they still have little hair but i have went and got it trimmed and it seems to be working, just give it time and she will have beautiful long hair it just takes time.

DO NOTHING!!! DO NOT SHAVE YOUR CHILDS HEAD, IT WILL CHANGE THE TEXTURE OF THE HAIR.....
B/C everybody knows that bald headed lil girls grow up to have hair out this world. My friends daughter who is half blk/hispanic was bald until she was 3yrs old. After that its like her hair was growing like wild weeds. Now shes 10yrs and her hair is super duper thick and in the middle of her back. Her mom used to also complain about her cute bald headed child, but now she wishes her hair wasnt as thick.....
I think bald children are just the cutest, with the pretty lil head bands....just enjoy your free time of not having to comb hair right now,

Good Luck......

I'd say give it time. I had next to no hair at 1 myself, and I now have a nice head of hair (not to much, not to little).

In some countries they cut or shave all the hair off at a young age to stimulate hair growth. I knew a family from the Czech Republic that were studying here in the states; they cut their 4-year-old's hair to half an inch short all over (if she had been a boy, they might have shaved it all off). It makes the hair grow in thicker than before. I don't know if you want to do it as young as 1 year old, though. Read up on it and see what you can find. But in the mean time, don't worry too much. Like I said, I was like her and she could very well turn out like me. :)

Hi, N.! You are just going to have to let it come in on its own...sorry...I know that personally, I still had that "peach fuzz" on my head even when I went to Kindergarten...my mom says they had to tape bows to my head so that people would know I was a girl! LOL...all in it's own time.

WAL-MART SELLS A GREASE PRODUCT CALLED AFRICAN PRIDE MIRACLE GRO THAT I BELIEVE IS IN A YELLOWISH CONTAINER WITH GREEN LID. IT'S WORKS VERY WELL. YOU CAN FIND IN THE HEALTH AND BEAUTY DEPARTMENT WITH THE "BLACK" HAIR PRODUCTS. IT SHOULD ONLY COST ABOUT $3 AND SOME CHANGE. GOOD LUCK.

I feel your pain, trust me, I do....my daughter was pratically bald until about 18 months...and unfortunately there isn't much for you to do except wait.... Now magically enough once my little girl started growing hair it GREW! At nearly 3 she has beautiful hair to the middle of her back. I'm actually getting ready to bite the bullet and have it cut to her shoulders! But to answer your actual question there isn't any shampoo or cream or anything that would help it to grow any faster...just keep it healthy, wash it every other night (or every 2 nights if she doesn't sweat much or spend time outside), and brush it twice a day. Don't worry so much about it and be sure to take lots of pictures of her now to show her when she's worried about her own beautiful bald baby many years from now!
