Does the newborn have to get a haircut?

Newborn hair doesn't have to be cut, but there is a custom in China.

Don't blindly take measures such as shaving fetal hair and shaving head to promote hair growth. China has a tradition of shaving the baby's fetal hair at the full moon, but I don't know that the baby's skin is delicate. A sharp razor may cause hair follicle damage that we can't see with the naked eye when shaving. In addition, if the razor is not clean or the head is not clean, bacteria will easily invade and cause infection.

Extended data:

Gui Ming, the chief physician of pediatrics in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, said in an interview with China Popular Science website that the baby's hair at birth is not too big or directly related to the future hair, and the baby's hair is influenced by parents' genes. Parents' genes not only determine the number of baby's hair,

It also determines the color, radian and thickness of the child's hair. Generally speaking, children's hair growth is similar to that of their parents. If one or both parents have curly hair, the baby may also have curly hair after birth. If parents have thick hair, the baby's hair may be thick and thick.
