'''Artificial cranial deformation''' or '''cranial modification''', '''head flattening''', or '''head binding''' is a form of [[body modification]] in which the skull of a human being is deformed intentionally. It is done by distorting the normal growth of a child's skull by applying force. Flat shapes, elongated ones (produced by binding between two pieces of [[wood]]), rounded ones (binding in cloth), and conical ones are among those chosen or valued in various cultures. Typically, the shape alteration is carried out on an [[infant]], as the skull is most pliable at this time. In a typical case, headbinding begins approximately a month after birth and continues for about six months. | '''Artificial cranial deformation''' or '''cranial modification''', '''head flattening''', or '''head binding''' is a form of [[body modification]] in which the skull of a human being is deformed intentionally.

Artificial cranial deformation or cranial modification, head flattening, or head binding is a form of body modification in which the skull of a human being is deformed intentionally. It is done by distorting the normal growth of a child's skull by applying force. Flat shapes, elongated ones (produced by binding between two pieces of wood), rounded ones (binding in cloth), and conical ones are among those chosen or valued in various cultures. Typically, the shape alteration is carried out on an infant, as the skull is most pliable at this time. In a typical case, headbinding begins approximately a month after birth and continues for about six months.
