Shaving your head on a full moon, is this custom in your place? What is fetal hair used for?

When the newborn comes out at the full moon, it is customary to shave the fetal hair. Some say it is for the sake of good health and prosperous hair in the future. There is also a saying that fetal hair carries the mother's filth, and you can't go out to other people's homes without shaving it. Especially in many places, it is popular that babies will go to grandma's house after the full moon, which is called "moving the nest". "Moving the nest" is for the future baby's ambition to walk around. You can't "move your nest" without shaving your fetal hair. It is unlucky to go back to grandma's house with fetal hair. It's all superstition and unreliable.

My grandson was shaved by the staff of the photo studio. After taking the photo, they skillfully shaved off his fetal hair, then made it into a fetal brush and collected it as a souvenir. These services are all charged, which is memorable and easy to be accepted. After half a month, I received a fetal writing brush, which was well made and well preserved.

We have always had the habit of shaving our heads with a full moon here, and there is no way to prove it since when. When I was in the village, I used to shave my children with that old razor and give them a spoon when I shaved my head. It is said that I will stop crying after shaving [rustic laughter]. Because it used to be that the knife was not fast and the water was not hot, even the hair and meat were cut together! Then I gave it a push with my hand. Now that it doesn't hurt, I naturally don't take a spoon. I just push it with an electric push rod.

I used to tie fetal hair into a gossip shape with a red rope and put it on a pillow for 100 days, and then I gave a piece of white bread to a dog with pure black hair. It is said that children's hair will be dark and dense in the future.

Nowadays, most fetal hairs are made into pens or painted as souvenirs.

For the baby's fetal hair, many parents are always entangled in whether to shave it off. In addition, there is a folk custom that babies should shave at the full moon, claiming that shaving the baby's fetal hair can help them grow better-looking hair in the future. Let's take a look at the baby shaving.

1, the older generation always said that shaving fetal hair can make children's hair grow well. The scientific approach is that babies can cut their fetal hair, but they can't shave their heads. You can leave about 0.5 cm of hair when you cut your hair. Why is this? Because shaving fetal hair is useless for long hair, shaving too bright will be counterproductive, which will not only make the shaved head ugly, especially for female babies, but also hurt the baby's scalp. So fetal hair can be trimmed, but not shaved.

2. The amount of hair is mainly determined by congenital inheritance and acquired nutrition. If one of the parents has less hair or even baldness, the baby is more likely to have less hair. If both parents have thick hair, the baby will not be less. At this time, parents should relax and don't shave all the time because the baby doesn't grow hair for a while. This will not only have no effect, but also increase the risk of injury to the baby. In short, please give your baby's hair some time to grow out slowly.

3. Generally, according to the baby's growth law, the fetal hair will gradually fall off automatically from 3 months to 6 months after birth, and new hair will slowly grow out. This is a process of baby's self-renewal. When the baby grows up, if his parents take good care of him, his hair will become dark and dense. There is absolutely no need to worry. If he is in poor health, his hair will look dry and thin.

China's ancestral tradition, we all have this habit here. Sigh and remember the traditions of your ancestors! ?
