Girl/short hair

maedamalu

I feel really silly about posting this...but DD is 25 months and has very short blond hair. She lost most of her hair as a baby, but I feel it is taking FOREVER to grow. The pedi never said anything and I didn't even mention to her,but I noticed that all her friends have so much hair now(even the boys that were shaved)...any inputs?

I have a cousin who didn't get much more hair than she had as a baby until she was 3 years old; by the time she was 5 she had fairly long hair.  I wouldn't worry about it.

I know it's harder for a girl to pull off and especially now that they are a little older. But we shaved DS's hair completely off when he turned one year and it grew back thicker and more evenly all over.

I also have a friend who all her life has sworn by Hair and Mane. It's a shampoo for horses sold at walmart, but can be found in the regular beauty/health department.

My sister had really short hair until she turned 5 and then it finally started growing.  I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm worried about this with DD. DS has blonde hair and once we shaved his, it did grow in thicker. But DD is 6 months old and has the same amount of hair as she had when she was born. It it hasn't grown any longer. I had blonde hair and it really didn't start growing until I was about 3.

DD's hair just recently started growing more but she still has much less hair than any of the girls in her class. She has very curly blonde hair. I don't think it's anything to worry about though.
