Whether or not your child is born with a head filled with hair or not, be assured that she could have as a lot hair as any regular particular person, as she grows up. However if you’re an Indian, then you realize that new moms, and all people round them is obsessive about the infant’s hair! How a lot hair does the infant have, is it straight, is it curly, is it thick, is it black sufficient? These ‘points’ then entail a lot of myths and silly practices that promise ghane, mulayam, kaale baal (thick, delicate and darkish hair). For sure, none of it really works as a result of the amount and high quality of your hair rely on what number of hair follicles you’re born with and your genes.

- Purple lentil paste: After you have tonsured the infant, the very first thing you must apply on its head is a paste of pink lentil. No one ever cared to clarify why. How does pink lentil profit hair? And why do it is advisable apply proper after tonsuring. Do not ask.
- Burnt burlap sack: This one takes the craziest fable award palms down. So this is what you do (hypothetically, solely) you are taking a burplap sack, those used for storing grains in warehouses. Reduce a bit, you may be as fancy about it as you need. Burn it and apply the ash on the infant’s freshly tonsured head. This one is messy, bizarre and is unnecessary by any means.
- Egg: Now egg is a superb supply of protein and does make hair softer when used as a hair masks. However how does it profit a child whose hair is any means softer? For my part, whether or not you apply egg to a child’s hair or not it makes no distinction.
