First Month: Physical Appearance and Growth The bones in your baby’s skull are still growing together, and the skull is growing faster during the first four months than at any other time in her life. The average newborn’s head circumference measures about 13 3⁄4 inches (35 cm), growing to about 15 inches (38 cm) by one month. Because boys tend to be slightly larger than girls, their heads are larger, though the average difference is less than 1⁄2 inch (1 cm).

Hair Follicle Origin The first identifiable hair follicles appear at about 9 weeks of age, after the embryo has begun to mature into a fetus. The first follicles develop in the areas that will eventually become the eyebrows, upper lip and chin. Hair follicle development on body, face and scalp then occurs in successive waves beginning at fetal age of 4 to 5 months. The fully mature 9-month fetus usually has all of the hair follicles that will ever develop in that person. It is believed that, under normal circumstances, new hair follicles do not develop in an adult.

After the Baby: Secrets to Thicker, Healthier Hair But once the baby's born, androgen production—along with shedding—resumes. Hair that normally would have fallen out during the previous nine months tends to start coming out now—with a vengeance. Doctors call this telogen effluvium, and it can mean temporarily losing between 10 and 30 percent of your hair. By the time your baby's about 6 months old, new hair growth replaces whatever was lost. This is when some women say their hair suddenly becomes grayer or more wiry.

Baby hair loss Yes. Babies often lose their hair during the first few months (AAP 2012). The reason for this is hormones. Before birth, your baby had high levels of hormones in his body from you. After he was born, these levels started to drop. This has caused your baby's hair to enter a resting state, which means it isn’t growing any more.

Typically baby hair curls more easily than adult hair because it is much thinner and has less weight. “Color of both hair and skin often darkens during the first two to three years of life. Often hair in the baby is much finer than it is in the older child or adult,” adds Dr. Paller.
