Hippoes, I 2nd your thinking. I did not shave my girl during her 1st mth and 4th mth, now she is 21 mths old and her hair is very very soft. Unlike my friend's, cousin & BIL's daughter, they shaved their girl's hair during 1st mth and now, their girls' hair is much courser, especially my BIL's girl, her mum is hair stylist so cut her hair quite often, her hair is very course in texture.
