Young people who love to pursue beauty conduct cosmetic surgery may no longer scour news pages. But have you ever heard about babies going through cosmetic measures? Recently, some netizens have been heatedly discussing that there is a "baby head-correction." This requires babies to wear a corrective band to shape their head for 23 hours a day. Some netizens asked, "Isn't this appearance anxiety passed by the parents to their children?" Some people like to say, "Study harder if you are not good-looking enough." Into this wormhole, some who open short video apps will be surprised to discover that most of the female anchors have very similar features. They have pointed chins, small faces, and big  eyes. These ubiquitous videos and photos of "beautiful" people may have continued to convey an increasingly homogeneous standard of beauty. However, beauty should not be stereotyped. Nor do appearances reflect a person's true beauty. As for babies, whether their heads are round or flat, this will never change the fact that they are the most beautiful angels in our lives.
