Yesterday, someone in the mother group mentioned this question: My child is four months old and his hair is thin and yellow. I think the child is still young, and maybe his hair will improve in the future.
But the elderly at home think it was because they did not shave their child fetal hair when they were full moon. Then he also said that the child from the xx family had bad hair after giving birth. After shaved it a few times, his hair was dark and much.
I would like to ask, is it necessary to shave the baby's hair? Is the child's hair really getting better? If this is the case, it would be better to shave it directly, so as not to be muttered all day long, "Why don't you shave your child's hair?"
As usual, the friends in the group enthusiastically expressed their experiences and opinions:
"When the full moon, my baby was shaved by his grandmother. Now he is 5 months old and has not grown up yet."
"My baby's hair was very good when he was born. When he was 1 month old, my mother and mother-in-law said they wanted to shave the hair. I didn't understand, so I let it shave it. As a result, it grew a little bit after half a year."
" We also have the custom of shave hair here, but I haven't heard of it all shave. On the day of the child's full moon, cut a strand of hair, tied it with a red rope, and then wiped the temples with my hands. "
...
It's not difficult to see that in fact, there are customs for shave hair in many places, and some places even use razor blades to shave the eyebrows.
So the question is, is it necessary to shave your hair?
To be honest, it is really unnecessary. Because after the baby is born, as the metabolism continues to continue, the fetal hair will fall off automatically and slowly.
Then new hair follicles will be produced and new hair will be grown again. In other words, even if you don’t shave your hair , your baby will change his hair by himself.
Full month shaving hair, is it better to shave your hair the more you shave your hair?
In fact, many people want to shave their children's hair mainly because they think that the more they shave their hair, the better they will grow.
, especially those children with , who have relatively sparse , their family may persistently believe that as long as they shave a few more times, the baby's hair will become thicker and even brighter.
Little do you know that the amount of hair, color, thickness, and curvature of a child are mainly affected by genetic factors. If one parent has thick hair, black and shiny hair, thick hair, and a little curly , then the child's hair will be similar.
In addition to genetic gene , the nutritional status of the mother during pregnancy will also affect the child's hair volume and hair quality.
If the mother does not consume enough protein , vitamins, etc. when she is pregnant, and even suffers from severe nutritional deficiency, the hair growth status of the child after birth is often not very good.
Blindly shaving the baby's hair will damage the hair follicles and it will be difficult for the hair to grow
Newborns' skin is particularly delicate. If you use a sharp shaver or razor to shave the child's hair, even if you are careful during the shaving process, it is easy to cause hair follicle damage and bacterial infection.
Especially for some people, they are more ruthless and directly stick a root on their children and shave them into clean bald heads. It is very likely that hair follicles will close and it will be difficult to grow hair again.
For example, there was a news recently that a father in Shaanxi used a razor to shave his baby who was just over a month old. Two months have passed, and there is still a large area of hair on the top of the child’s head that has not grown.
The child's mother quickly took the child to the hospital for examination. It turned out that the child had local hair follicles closed, and it was difficult for the hair to grow in the future. The child's mother said that it was really not possible and could only give the child hair transplant .
But that said, if the child's hair grows too fast and has too much hair, you can still shave your child's hair. But don't use razors or razors, or shave your head, but use a baby-specific head-cut fader.
