The child's hair is very yellow and dry. How's it going?

Every parent wants his child to have bright black hair, but this is not the case in reality. Some children have little hair when they are born, and some children have only a little hair when they are over/kloc-0 years old, which makes many parents feel anxious. Young people who have just been promoted to parents will inevitably worry about the surprise of the arrival of a newborn. However, if novice parents can understand some basic common sense, they can avoid these emotions, which is of great benefit to both adults and babies. Next, let's take a look at what causes the child's hair to be sparse and yellow.

1, genetic factors

The growth of baby's hair is the same as that of the body, there are early and late, and there are fast and slow. Newborns don't have much hair, but as the baby grows up, the hair will gradually change from thin to dense and from yellow to black. However, the growth of hair is also closely related to heredity. The genetic tendency of hair is usually manifested in quantity, straightness and color. If mom and dad have thick hair, the child may do the same. On the contrary, if parents have sparse hair, there are naturally not many babies.

2. Physiological alopecia

Some babies have little hair after birth, and parents think it will be fine after a long time, but what I didn't expect was that after a while, the baby's hair not only didn't grow, but also fell out, which made parents extremely worried: Will the baby suffer from the hair loss crisis that will only be experienced in middle age? In fact, this is one of the characteristics of physiological alopecia, so parents need not be too nervous.

Hair will fall out when the baby is still in the mother's stomach, not after birth. The baby is still in the fetal period, not only the head is covered with fetal hair, but also the whole body is covered with fetal hair. About 5 months of pregnancy is the most obvious and abundant time for fetal hair, and then it will slowly fall off. The fetal hair will fall off from front to back according to the physiological cycle, and it will slowly grow out at about 7 months.

After the baby is born, hair loss often occurs due to changes in the environment. In fact, this is also a normal physiological phenomenon, and parents don't have to give themselves too much psychological pressure. The fetal hair of the newborn is brought out by the mother, and most newborns have obvious hair loss within 2 ~ 3 weeks after birth. This is because after the baby is born, most hair follicles quickly change from growth period to dormancy period within a few days. Generally, after 9 ~ 12 weeks, the child's hair follicles will re-form hair balls and grow new hair. So the baby may have a lot of hair when he was born, but then he began to lose it slowly. This is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Medically, the baby's hair will grow better and more at the age of 1 year, and the hair growth will tend to be stable, so there is no need for special treatment or excessive worry.

3. Individual differences

The growth of baby's hair is the same as that of the body, there are early and late, and there are fast and slow. Every baby also has its own individual differences. The amount of hair at birth has nothing to do with the amount of hair later.

When a baby is born, the amount of hair varies from person to person. Some babies may have thick hair, but some may have sparse roots, and some may not even have one. The reason for this is that when the fetus develops in the uterus for 5-6 months, the fetal hair will slowly fall off. If the fetal hair falls off less, the baby will have more hair when he is born. Babies with sparse hair will grow out slowly when they reach 1 year old. After 2 years old, the hair will grow like an ordinary child. When you are 5-6 years old, your hair will be as thick and black as other babies.

4. Lack of nutrition

The growth of baby's hair is also closely related to nutrition. Insufficient intake, consumptive diseases and rapid growth of children lead to the lack of vitamins, trace elements and other nutrients.

Many people think that calcium deficiency in babies will affect the development of bones. In fact, if the baby's calcium deficiency is too serious, it will make the baby's hair stunted, yellow or even hairless. Furthermore, the lack of nutrients such as zinc and protein will affect the development of baby's hair. It is suggested that Ma Bao can choose the corresponding nutrients on the advice of doctors. Clinically, it is believed that one of the fundamental reasons for baby's hair loss is the lack of certain elements, so the baby can pay a little attention to this problem every day.

If you want your baby's hair to grow well, you must ensure adequate intake of trace elements such as protein, vitamins, calcium, iron and zinc. However, some children are picky eaters and have a single diet, so it is difficult to ensure comprehensive nutrition, which not only affects hair, but also interferes with intellectual development.

5, breast baldness/pillow baldness

Some babies have thick black hair after birth, but some mothers will find that when the baby grows up, some parts of the hair on the back will fade, some will be less than others, and even feel hair loss. This phenomenon is actually called pillow baldness, commonly known as milk baldness.

Milk baldness is a normal phenomenon. Generally, it will disappear with the increase of baby's age and the addition of complementary food, and the lost hair will grow back. Don't worry. The following are the specific reasons for infant milk baldness:

(1), the baby often sweats when he falls asleep, so the pillow will be soaked with sweat. Children will also feel unwell and increase their physical activities, including shaking their heads from side to side. In this way, the baby's headrest often rubs the pillow or bed surface, and the hair will be less.

(2) After 2 months, the baby began to show interest in external sounds and images. Especially the mother, the voice and appearance attract the baby. At this stage, the child can only lie flat, and the mother's pursuit can only be realized by turning her head. This often turns around and rubs the hair on the pillow repeatedly, and local hair loss can occur.

(3) The pillow on which the child rests or the bed lying flat is hard, which can exert pressure on the hair on the pillow. After the pillow touches or rubs the baby's scalp, it will be easier to lose hair, and as a result, local hair will be reduced.

(4) There are many reasons for occipital baldness, which may be the mother's insufficient nutritional intake during pregnancy or the early manifestation of vitamin D deficiency rickets. But pillow baldness is often caused by physiological hyperhidrosis and frequent friction between head and pillow.

It must be pointed out that some babies' hair is quite prosperous when they are born, but after a few months, the occipital hair gradually wears off, falls off and appears? Bald pillow? At the same time accompanied by sweating, irritability, crying and other symptoms. This may be the manifestation of rickets caused by calcium and vitamin D in the body. In this case, we should go to the hospital in time, find out the reasons and treat the symptoms.

6, the wrong care

There is a folk saying that children's hair and eyebrows will become dark and thick if they are shaved frequently. This is just a statement, which has not been confirmed. Because hair and eyebrows are keratinized, shaving has nothing to do with hair growth. On the contrary, because the child's scalp is delicate, if the child is shaved frequently, it will damage the child's scalp and cause folliculitis and skin infection. So, don't just shave your child's head. Is it best to cut the baby's hair? Cut? This can prevent the baby's skin from being hurt during the haircut. In addition, rubbing the scalp with ginger to stimulate hair growth is not suitable for children. On the one hand, it is easy to cause skin infection, on the other hand, it will interfere with children's hair growth.

Some parents cut back on washing their children's hair for fear of washing off their only hair. In fact, the hair that falls off when washing your hair is aging, and it will fall off if you don't wash it; On the contrary, if you don't wash your hair for a long time, your child will be stimulated by oil and sweat, causing infection and affecting the growth of new hair.

7. Effects of disease

Of course, there are also babies whose hair has little to do with the disease. For example, children with rickets, the lack and surplus of some rare elements, genetic and metabolic diseases will all have thinning hair.

Endocrine factors: abnormal function of thyroid, liver and kidney, abnormal secretion of sex hormones.

Immune factors: low immune function and disorder are also the causes of hair loss.

If the child's hair is still not significantly improved around 1 year, you can go to the hospital for trace elements and other related tests. It should be said that some diseases will affect the baby's hair development in clinic, but if the baby's hair development is affected by diseases, it can generally be reflected by some symptoms, and parents don't have to have too much psychological pressure.

Many parents envy other people's baby's hair, and worry that their baby's hair is less. As parents, everything about children is the focus of attention. Once any problems are found, parents will try their best to remedy them. Around us, many parents have been troubled by the problem of baby hair thinning. How to help your baby grow good hair? As long as it is not the disease that causes the child's hair to be scarce, then through daily care, the child can have black and bright hair! Let's talk about the baby's sparse hair. What should parents do?

1, wash your hair frequently

Many parents think that their baby's hair is scarce and dare not wash his hair for fear of losing it again. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Babies should always wash their hair. Keeping the hair clean can stimulate the scalp, avoid itching, blistering and even infection, thus promoting hair growth.

Because the baby's growth and development speed is extremely fast, the metabolism is very strong. Therefore, it is best for babies half a year ago to wash 1 time a day, and wash more 1 time when the weather is hot; After 6 months, wash every 2 ~ 3 days 1 time. Pay attention to the use of pure, gentle, non-irritating and foaming baby shampoo. When shampooing, gently massage your baby's scalp with your fingers, and never rub your hair hard to prevent it from tangling and falling off.

Step 2 comb your hair often

Don't think that you don't need to comb your baby's hair if it is less. In fact, combing your hair often can stimulate the scalp and promote blood circulation, which will naturally make your hair grow better.

Comb skills: prepare a special comb for your baby, and take it out and comb it a few times when it is convenient. The comb should not be too hard. It is best to use an elastic and soft rubber comb to avoid damaging the baby's delicate scalp. In addition, the hair should be combed in the direction of natural growth, and the action and strength should be consistent. Never comb your baby's hair in the opposite direction as you wish. If the mother likes to divide the baby's hair, it should be changed every few days, otherwise the divided hair will be scarce.

3. Balanced nutrition

Because the composition of hair is 97% protein, the growth of hair needs a certain amount of sulfur-containing amino acids, which cannot be synthesized by human body and must be obtained through protein in food. If the baby's daily intake of protein is less than 50g, it will cause a serious lack of protein and affect the growth of hair. Therefore, the mother must give the baby a proper amount of protein.

Comprehensive and balanced nutrition can supply hair roots through blood circulation, making hair grow stronger and more beautiful. Therefore, it is necessary to add complementary food to the baby according to the age of the month and correct the bad eating habits of partial eclipse and picky eaters in time. In the diet, it is necessary to ensure the intake and collocation of various foods such as milk, lean meat, fish, eggs, shrimp, bean products, fruits, carrots, etc., and seaweed and kelp rich in iodine should also be given to the baby regularly.

Step 4 get enough sleep

The baby's brain is not yet mature and it is easy to get tired. If you don't get enough sleep, you are prone to physiological disorders, which will lead to poor appetite, frequent crying and easy to get sick, which will indirectly lead to poor hair growth. Under normal circumstances, newborns should ensure 20 hours of sleep every day; 1 ~ 3 months sleep every day 16 ~ 18 hours; Sleep 15 ~ 16 hours every day for 4 ~ 6 months; Sleep 14 ~ 15 hours every day for 7 ~ 9 months; Sleep 10 ~ 13 hours every day for more than 10 months.

Step 5 get more sunshine

Proper sunshine and fresh air are very beneficial to the growth of baby's hair. Solar ultraviolet rays have a strong bactericidal effect, which can kill harmful bacteria on the baby's scalp, promote the blood circulation of the scalp and promote the healthy growth of the baby's hair.
