Eh, it depends how often they normally bathed the rest of the time
TMI alert
When I first started, I was genuinely perplexed because I couldn't have a bath so what was I going to do about washing my hair? I was told that of course you can still have a bath (we didn't have a shower then) but I've never been convinced - who wants to bathe in that?! Or wash their hair in that same water?! I guess it doesn't help that I feel that way about baths in general anyway, bathing in one's own dirt ... I think I probably washed my hair over the bathtub, and was exceptionally grateful when we did acquire a shower.
The only actual Old Wives' Tale I can recall is crusts giving you curly hair - I think I heard that broccoli would give you curly hair too, and I love the stuff, but alas
My sister (in her 20s) used to think until about a year or two ago that your 'baby hair' was hair you'd had since you were a baby ...
Oh, if you cut a baby's curl off it might not grow back - except that seems to prove true reasonably often. Why is that?!
