its normal

It's normal as birth hair sheds. No need for any applications.

my baby is 7 months now, still she has hair on upperlips and forehead.. what to do??

Sonali Shivlani

Castor oil is very thick and sticky hence difficult to wash off. It's not harmful but it will also not cause hair growth.
