When Will The Hair On My Baby's Head Start Growing?

Babies' hair growth patterns can widely vary. Some babies are born with a full head of hair, while others are born with only a little covering. On top of that, infants usually lose all the hair they were born with during the first six months of their lives. Sometimes the hair will grow right back in-but in a different color or texture. While with some other babies-it will take a while for it to grow back in. Either way, don't worry. Your child will have normal hair growth at some point.

Angelina was born with a pretty full head of hair. It was brown hair-like her father but not quite as dark. She is now 6 1/2 months old. Her hair has sporadically fallen out in certain spots and grown back in. It is turning into a more dark blonde or light brown color now. Also, when she was first born, you couldn't even tell she had eyebrows (because they were so light in color). Those have darkened a little now (along with her beautiful long eyelashes), and you can definitely see them. Her skin was also darker in color when she was born. She has lightened up a lot since then. She isn't pale as a ghost, but she isn't quite so dark. I'm very interested to see what happens over the next five to ten years. Her father was born with lighter skin and hair but turned pretty dark over the first ten years of his life. His skin and hair began changing when he was six months old. So no one really knows what color Angelina's hair will turn out to be. Her eyes, somewhat of a puzzle, are still blue in color. Her father and I BOTH have brown eyes. I have heard many jokes from several people about this-trust me. So don't even think about it! Just kidding. But it really is interesting. Casey and I both have people on both sides of our family that have blue eyes, but for Angelina to come out with blue eyes when both of her parents' eyes are brown is very unique.

So just remember, children continuously change as they grow up. They may have blonde hair one month and, before you know it, they have brown hair! Either way, just enjoy the process of watching your children grow up. There is nothing else out there quite like it!
