For many babies, having a beautiful black hair is the most desirable thing for mothers, but many babies are born with poor hair quality and are still very sparse. Do you know what's going on? In fact, the development of baby's hair is affected by heredity, nutrition and other factors. If you want your baby to have thick and beautiful hair, your mother should adjust the diet structure, take care of it carefully, and let your baby's hair sprout as soon as possible!
Analysis of the cause of baby hair scarcity
1. Hair growth is affected by genetic factors
The genetic tendency of hair is obvious, and there are individual differences. The number, color and straightness of hair are related to the heredity of parents. If the parents' hair is good, the baby's hair is also good, the parents' hair is bad, and the baby's hair is also bad.
Some babies are born with less hair, so mothers don't have to worry about it in the future. The growth of the baby's hair is the same as the height of the body. There are early and late, fast and slow. Most of the baby's hair will gradually develop with his physical development, gradually from thin to dense, from yellow to black. By the time most babies are 1-2 years old, their hair is no different from other babies.
2. Malnutrition leads to hair hypoplasia
There are many reasons why baby's hair is less and yellow. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, hair is related to blood and kidney. In addition to genetic factors, some newborn hair is rare, which may be due to malnutrition, indicating that the mother did not pay much attention to nutrition intake during pregnancy. Generally speaking, fetal malnutrition in the womb, especially the lack of vitamin A and vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12, folate, calcium, zinc, iron and other minerals, will make the hair sparse, thin and soft.
When the baby is about 1 year old, the hair is still small and yellow, which may be related to the lack of trace elements, such as zinc, calcium, iron, etc., which will lead to the scarcity of the baby's hair. It's about the way you feed. Some babies don't add auxiliary food in time and in proper amount, the diet is too monotonous, and some babies' diet is too fine and irregular, resulting in disharmony between the spleen and stomach, weak gastrointestinal function and poor appetite, which will certainly affect the growth of hair.
3. Long term unclean hair affects hair growth
Some mothers are afraid to wash their baby's hair every time. They are afraid that they will wash off the little hair left by the baby and never grow out again. In fact, it's totally groundless. When shampooing, the hair falling off is aging, and it will fall off if not washed; on the contrary, if not washed for a long time, the stimulation of grease and sweat will cause secondary infection, but affect the growth of new hair. Some mothers listen to the rumor that they rub ginger on the baby's scalp to increase the blood circulation around the hair follicle and promote the growth of hair. This approach is unprofitable and has no scientific basis. It's even more dangerous to grow more hair by shaving your baby's head. When shaving your baby's hair with a razor, many pores will be damaged that we can't see with the naked eye. In addition, if the razor is not clean or the skin on the head is not clean, the bacteria will enter by this opportunity, leading to local small abscesses or skin suppurative infection, which will make the hair development even less optimistic.
4. Disease causes hair to grow slowly
Some babies have sparse hair which is related to diseases. Such as rickets, the lack and excess of some rare elements, genetic metabolic diseases and other children will show sparse hair, yellow hair and so on. If the baby's hair is still not significantly improved at about 1 year old, you can go to the hospital to check if the baby has some diseases, and pay attention to adjust the diet structure and strengthen physical exercise according to the doctor's advice.
