    What you need to know

    Your baby's hair growth has two stages- resting stage and growth stage. The resting stage is up to maximum six months when the hair follicles don't grow and you tend to witness a hair loss. This happens due to the hormonal imbalance in the baby's body.

    The growth stage runs up to 3 years and this is the time when your baby's hair will grow very thick. This process is know as telogen effluvium. This is perfectly normal. But, the intensity of hairfall may vary from child to child.
