Old people in rural areas say that shaving their heads will make their children's hair look better. Is it true?/You don't say.

Do children have to shave their heads when they are young? Baby's hair grows very slowly, which is not directly related to shaving. This phenomenon is mainly due to the change of living environment after birth, and the physiological hair growth changes temporarily. Children 1 year-old, hair will gradually grow up, thick hair can grow to 2 years old. It's normal for a 3-and 4-month-old baby to have sparse hair. Because the child grows up slowly, this phenomenon will naturally disappear, so don't worry.

Folklore: Shaving your head will make your hair look better. Is it true?/You don't say. It has always been said that shaving your baby's hair and eyebrows will make your baby's hair and eyebrows look better. In fact, this statement was denied. Hair and eyebrows are angled, and there are no living epithelial cells, which does not promote shaved and unshaven hair. The thickness, growth range, color and curl degree of baby's hair are mainly determined by genetic factors.

On the contrary, because the baby's head is very delicate, it is easy to damage the child's scalp when shaving, leading to diseases such as folliculitis and skin infection. From a medical point of view, we do not advocate shaving children. If you have to give it to your baby, you'd better use the method of "cutting" instead of "scraping", which can effectively prevent the baby's skin from happening.

Why does your baby have no hair? Some mothers report that the hair on their baby's back is actually bald. Most of the reasons for this phenomenon are that when the baby is lying in bed, his head is easy to sweat and his head is itchy. In order to itch, the baby's head will turn and rub against the pillow, so it may be bald!

What should the mother do if the baby appears in the bald pillow? First of all, we don't want to choose a pillow that is too hard for the baby, but try to choose a breathable pillow, so that the baby will rub his head with the pillow because of hot sweat.

Secondly, another reason for pillows is that babies stay asleep for a long time and sweat easily. Therefore, we suggest to help the baby turn over every 2 to 4 hours to prevent the baby from maintaining the same posture. In fact, often helping the baby to change the sleeping posture can avoid pillows and make the baby's skull shape healthy.
