Brushing a toddler's hair

You've read the books and learned early on why it's important to brush your baby's hair regularly, as it has many benefits. However, as you draw near the 1-year-old mark, you realize your toddler's hair is growing slowly, or not at all. Now there’s a wide range of what's "normal" for baby and toddler hair growth. Some babies are born with a full head of hair while others come into the world with a bald head. This is because of a baby's individual DNA, so there's no need to stress either way.

It’s completely normal for babies to have very little to no hair during their first year, but after their first birthday comes and goes, you may wonder why there's no active hair growth.
