What is the reason for children's yellow hair

We are all yellow people, so we should have yellow skin and black hair. However, many parents find that their children’s hair is too yellow. How come their hair, which should be black, becomes so black? Maybe most parents would think that it is caused by malnutrition, which can cause yellowish hair. But is this really the reason? What causes children’s hair to turn yellow?

1. Functional yellow hair: The main reasons are mental trauma, fatigue, seasonal endocrine disorders, drug and chemical stimulation, etc., which lead to the disorder of melaninogen and melanocyte production 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.

2. Pathogenic yellow hair: Certain diseases, such as iron deficiency anemia and recovering from a serious illness, can cause hair to turn from black to yellow. In this case, you should eat more black beans, walnut kernels, fennel, etc. Black beans contain melanin generators, which promote the production of melanin. The aisole in cumin helps convert melanogens into melanocytes, making hair darker and glossier.

3. Copper deficiency yellow hair: In the process of hair producing melanin, there is a lack of an important copper-containing "tyrosinase". 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 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.
