Will the baby's eyebrows become thicker after being shaved? The harm of shaving the baby's eyebrows

Some babies are born with very sparse eyebrows and hair, and their eyebrows are not dark enough. Therefore, many parents will follow folk remedies and shave their babies' eyebrows, hoping that the new eyebrows will grow thicker. So, can babies' eyebrows be shaved? The following is a detailed introduction.

Can baby's eyebrows be shaved?

Shaving is not recommended.

Generally speaking, the eyebrows of babies will fall off and be replaced by themselves in the 3-6 months after birth. This is the normal metabolism of the human body. Eyebrows are like hair, so it doesn't matter whether they are shaved or not. Therefore, young parents should not shave the hair or eyebrows of their full-month-old babies. It is harmful and useless.

Do eyebrows become thicker the more you shave them?

This statement is unscientific. Whether a newborn's eyebrows are thick or not is mainly affected by the mother's nutrition during pregnancy and genetics. In addition, the growth of a baby's eyebrows is like the growth of the body. Some grow early, some grow late, some grow fast, and some grow slow. As long as there is no disease, most babies' eyebrows will gradually change from sparse to dense, and from yellow to black as time goes by and they grow and develop. It has nothing to do with eyebrow shaving.

Expert advice on eyebrows

Experts have something to say: Shaving children's eyebrows does more harm than good and is a waste of effort.

The baby's eyebrows will fall off automatically when they are 3-6 months old, and new eyebrows will grow out. This is the body's metabolic phenomenon. Moreover, eyebrows are like hair, so it doesn't matter whether they are shaved or not. In addition, the baby's skin is very delicate. When shaving eyebrows, it is easy to accidentally scratch the skin. If the wound is infected by bacteria and ulcerated and scarred, it may not grow eyebrows anymore. If the root of the eyebrow is injured, when it grows again, its position and shape will change, forming an ugly "upside-down eyebrow", which is even uglier. Therefore, in order to prevent the baby from becoming a one-browed nun, mothers should not shave the baby's eyebrows randomly.

In fact, most children's eyebrows don't start to look good until they are around 2 years old, so mothers should be patient and not rush.

Things to note about baby's eyebrows

1. If your baby has light eyebrows, you must let it develop naturally, but you must ensure that your baby's nutrition is balanced.

2. The growth of baby's eyebrows is the same as the growth of body height, some are early and some are late, some are fast and some are slow. As long as there is no disease, most babies' eyebrows will gradually change from sparse to dense, and from yellow to black as time goes by and they grow and develop.

3. The thickness of the baby's eyebrows mainly depends on genetic factors, and there are individual differences. If the parents have good eyebrows, the baby's eyebrows will be better; if the parents have bad eyebrows, the baby's eyebrows will also be worse.
