In the scorching summer, we often see some bald children. Some parents shave their children's heads because they are worried that their children are too hot. Some parents also shave their children's fetal hair, thinking that this way their hair will grow thicker, but unfortunately, many babies do not grow hair after shaving their fetal hair. So, what are the reasons why babies don't grow hair after shaving their fetal hair?
What is the reason why babies do not grow hair after shaving their fetal hair
In fact, from a medical perspective, the thickness and thickness of a child's hair are not related to whether or not to shave after one month, but rather to the diet of the pregnant woman during pregnancy and the genetic makeup of both parents. The baby's lack of hair growth after shaving fetal hair may be due to the mother's inadequate nutrition during pregnancy, or it may be caused by the baby's calcium deficiency.
When should fetal hair be shaved
In some places, there is a custom that babies shave their "full moon head" when they are one month old, shaving off all their fetal hair and even eyebrows. I believe that by doing so, my child's hair and eyebrows will grow black, dense, and beautiful in the future.
Experts believe that there is no scientific basis for "full moon shaving of fetal hair". The speed of hair growth, whether it is thin or thick, whether it is abundant or scarce, and whether or not to shave fetal hair are not related, but rather to a child's growth and development, nutritional status, and genetics. Baby skin is thin, tender, and has weak resistance. Shaving can easily damage the skin and cause skin infections. If bacteria invade the roots of the hair and damage the hair follicles, not only will the hair not grow well, but it will also backfire and lead to hair loss. Therefore, it is better not to shave the "full moon head".
There is no scientific basis for shaving baby's fetal hair to make it thicker, so it is recommended that parents do not blindly shave their baby's fetal hair. If you are worried that your child will develop eczema due to thick fetal hair in the hot summer, you can shave your baby's hair shorter. It's best not to shave your head. If you want your baby's hair to grow darker and denser, you still need to pay attention to their diet.
