When babies pull out their hair or grab and hold onto it without letting go, it can be a combination of control and their natural palmar grasp reflex at work. The palmar grasp reflex is an automatic response that babies are born with, causing their fingers to tightly close around any object that touches their palm. This reflex helps them hold onto things instinctively, but when it’s their own hair, it can lead to pulling without realizing the discomfort it might cause.

At the same time, hair pulling can be a way for babies to explore their growing sense of control over their body and surroundings. As they develop motor skills, they test their ability to grab, hold, and manipulate objects. Hair pulling may also be a soothing or self-soothing behavior when they’re tired, overwhelmed, or seeking sensory input. While it’s typically a harmless phase, parents can gently distract babies with toys or other safe objects to hold, helping them redirect their natural curiosity and reflex-driven actions.
