- Bald warning

When my baby was born, she didn't have the trouble of hair loss, but when the doctor wrapped her in a small quilt and put her on a small bed, she could see a thick black hair in the distance.

The photos were sent to relatives and friends who had been waiting for a long time, and they all said that the child's hair was good, not at all like the appearance of the newborn.

I also thought she wouldn't have hair troubles.

After the full moon, the baby often swings his head from side to side after falling asleep, which causes the back of the head to rub frequently with the bed.

At that time, I often saw her broken hair in bed, and I thought that even the best hair could not stand such a way to fall!

Sure enough, in March, when the spring flowers were blooming just in time, she was bald!

It was only a big fist on the back of his head, how to see how to be uncomfortable.

After a fierce ideological struggle, I decided to shave her head.

Watching the strands of hair that we were once proud of drift to the ground, we also comforted the baby and comforted ourselves: the hair will soon grow out.

At that time, I was young, I didn't know that the world was dangerous, I didn't know that my baby was about to usher in her bald life...

The baby is now one year and three months old, watching her cover her jagged hair, and then rummaging through the small hairpins and small leather bands that have been prepared in the drawer, I fell into deep thought.

I still can't get out of the shadow of the first shaving of my head, what little girl likes to wear a flower skirt and show a big shiny head?

In fact, the hair loss surgery on the back of the baby's head is the pillow baldness that we often hear.

Unlike the location of adult baldness, babies lie down for a long time every day, long-term friction between the back of the head and pillow, coupled with sweating, which will affect the growth of hair in the back of the head, resulting in pillow baldness.

However, you don't have to worry, as your child ages, the incidence of occipital baldness will gradually decrease.

At that time, people around me kept advising the baby to shave his head, saying that it would be better to shave a few more times.

So can shaving your head improve your baby's hair quality problem? Does the old man's experience really work?

Hair for a lifetime

After the baby lives in the mother's belly until the third month, the hair follicles begin to develop. The first is the eyebrows, lips or chin, and it is not until the fifth month that the hair follicles of the whole body slowly form.

Hair follicles are the main source of hair formation, and like the plant and its roots, it is a very important part of the body's skin.

It is also from five months that the baby's hair enters the growth phase. At this time, pregnant mothers can properly eat some black sesame seeds and walnuts, which can help better hair growth and development, and also conducive to brain growth and development.

Why are some babies born with thick hair, while others have a small bald head?

The above mentioned can help with diet when the baby has long hair, but this method does not allow every baby to have thick hair.

Genetic factors.

This is an important indicator of the baby's hair volume, and most of the parents of the baby with thick hair have a beautiful hair. Some babies have not very good hair when they are born, and after the fetal hair falls off, they will gradually produce hair as thick as their parents.

Feeding on demand.

Feeding patterns can also affect later hair growth, with some babies having yellow and thinning hair, possibly due to indigestion or lack of trace elements due to overfeeding. Of course, this point needs to be handled by the parents themselves.

Can shaving your head really change the amount of hair?

After some babies shave their hair, moms may think that mom's hair is getting better.

In fact, hair is more or less determined by genes and hormones.

The hair follicles that affect hair growth are hidden deep in the skin, the hair follicles are constantly growing deep, the hair on the outside is dead, and cutting the cross-section of the hair does not change the state of the hair.

Even though we feel like our hair is getting better, it's just hair that should have grown in the first place, and it's not directly related to shaving your head.

On the contrary, the baby's hair follicle is not yet fully developed, and shaving the head may cause damage to the hair follicle and become inflamed, which will affect the baby's hair growth and development later.

An effective way to improve your baby's hair

diet.

Eating more protein-rich foods and fresh vegetables and fruits can supplement vitamins and trace elements, and you can also add walnuts or sesame seeds to your baby's food supplement.

clean.

Wash your baby's hair regularly and use the right toiletries to keep your scalp dry and clean. In mild sunny weather, take your baby out in the sun.

sleep.

Adequate sleep is very important for growing and developing babies, try to cultivate the good habit of your baby falling asleep before 10 o'clock at night.

In fact, there are so many different people in this world, everyone is different, everyone has their own color. There is nothing more happy for parents than the healthy and happy growth of the baby, the anxiety of the hair is put aside, and don't shave the baby into a small bald head more often!
