Baby hairs are short hairs of regrowth that sit around your hairline, including the front, sides, and nape of your head. They are called "baby hairs" because they are reminiscent of the small strands of hair that babies have when they are born.
These short hairs can be caused by several factors, including:
- New hair growth: When new hair starts to grow, it is often short and fine, appearing as baby hairs.
- Hair breakage: Styling practices like tight braids or hair ties can lead to breakage, leaving behind short, broken hairs.
- Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially during puberty or pregnancy, can influence hair growth patterns.
Baby hairs are a normal part of the hair growth cycle, and most people have them. While some people style them or try to remove them, there's nothing wrong with having baby hairs!
