What causes yellow hair in children?

Many parents will find that their children’s hair is always turning yellow, and most parents will think that it is caused by malnutrition. In fact, it is not only malnutrition that can cause yellow hair, there are many other reasons. Parents must also be vigilant and check in time. Next, I will introduce to you the reasons for children’s yellow hair!

(1) Malnutrition-related yellow hair: It is mainly caused by severe malnutrition. You should pay attention to adjusting your diet and improving the body's nutritional status. Eggs, lean meat, soybeans, peanuts, walnuts, and black sesame seeds not only contain large amounts of animal protein and plant protein, but also contain cystine and cysteine, which are the main components of hair, and are the best foods for hair care.

(2) Yellow hair due to acidic body type: This is related to the increase of acidic toxins in the blood, as well as excessive fatigue and overeating of sweets and fats. You should eat more kelp, fish, fresh milk, beans, mushrooms, etc. In addition, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as celery, rapeseed, spinach, Chinese cabbage, citrus, etc., can help neutralize acidic toxins in the body and improve the yellowing condition.

(3) Copper deficiency-related yellow hair: In the process of hair melanin production, there is a lack of an important enzyme called "tyrosinase" containing copper. Copper deficiency in the body can affect the activity of this enzyme and cause hair to turn yellow. Foods rich in copper include animal liver, tomatoes, potatoes, celery, fruits, etc.

(4) Radiation-induced yellow hair: Long-term exposure to radiation, such as working with computers, radars, and X-rays, can cause yellow hair. You should pay attention to supplementing foods rich in vitamin A, such as pork liver, egg yolks, milk, carrots, etc.; eat more foods that can resist radiation, such as seaweed, high-protein foods, and drink more green tea.

(5) Functional yellow hair: The main causes are mental trauma, fatigue, seasonal endocrine disorders, drug and chemical stimulation, etc., which lead to disorders in the production of melanin and melanocytes in the body. People with this type of yellow hair should eat more sea fish, black sesame seeds, alfalfa, etc. The active ingredients in alfalfa can replicate melanocytes and regenerate melanin; black sesame can biochemically produce melanin; the niacin in marine fish can dilate capillaries, enhance microcirculation, make qi and blood flow smoothly, eliminate melanin production barriers, and make hair look healthy and beautiful.

After reading the introduction above, I believe everyone already knows what causes children’s yellow hair! There are many reasons that cause children's hair to turn yellow, which will have a certain impact on the children. Parents must pay attention, actively go to the hospital for examination and treatment, and pay attention to nutritional supplements in daily life to be healthier.
