Does shaving a baby's head help hair grow back thicker?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that shaving a baby’s head changes the density or thickness of their hair growth, as these traits are primarily determined by genetics. Some parents choose to shave their baby's head for religious or cultural traditions, while others note that hair simply appears more even as it grows back after being shaved. Ultimately, hair texture and volume will evolve naturally as your child grows, regardless of whether they have had a haircut.
