hi, i am 10 weeks pregnant and i have organised a charity event to raise some money. the event is that i am going to shave all my hair off. a friends mum said that this might not be a good idea as my hair probably wont grow back properly ... i have got really thick hair at the moment and i am wondering if shaving my hair off would have any effect to it growing back.

Dear Shone, Hair of the body has a natural property of growing. In fact many women get haircut done and still their hair grow regularly. Had hair not grown, the saloons and barbers would have closed down. So do not worry. Whatever your hair cut or shaved will definitely grow back. It may take some time to achieve original length, still they will grow. However, sometimes when completely shaven hair grow, they may change their physical character due to change in the quality of keratin in it. Curly hair may not retain their curliness and may become straight. Now you have to take your informed decision about getting shaved or not.
