What to do if your child's hair doesn't grow long

When a child is born, he may not have long hair, but if the hair does not grow as the child grows older, then it must be taken seriously. Some children may not grow hair due to malnutrition. For example, the child looks very thin, has a picky eating habit, or has a poor appetite when eating. This will eventually lead to malnutrition, and may lack vitamins or trace elements, making it difficult for hair to grow.

Check whether your baby is lacking in trace elements. Whether the baby is zinc or calcium deficient has always been a topic of concern for mothers. If a child is born with calcium deficiency, it can easily lead to hair growth and even affect bone development. There are also various vitamin deficiencies and so on. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. See if your baby is sick often. Babies who are often sick will have weakened immunity, which will affect their physical development, especially for children who often suffer from diarrhea and fever. It is recommended to take your children out more often to bask in the warm sunshine. Outdoor exercise can enhance the baby's resistance.

Whether the scalp is infected with bacteria. Even adults' hair can easily be infected with bacteria which can cause hair dysplasia, let alone babies. Some bacteria and fungi can easily cause scalp inflammation. In daily life, you should pay attention to household hygiene and dry your quilt frequently. When the air is bad, try to wear a hat when taking your baby out. Don't use inferior shampoo to wash your baby's hair. When washing your baby’s hair, try to choose pure natural herbal or plant shampoo, or use baby shampoo to prevent scalp allergies, which can cause slow hair growth over time. Bad shampoos may even contain trace amounts of harmful elements.

It is also important to note that a child may often catch a cold and have diarrhea, and his immunity is not very good, which will affect the growth of hair. Even if hair grows, it will be very fragile. Some children may suffer from scalp eczema, tinea capitis, or bacterial infection on their scalp, which will eventually lead to their hair not growing.
