Why is the child's hair yellow?

I have always felt that Chinese people’s hair should be black, because only black can look healthy. When adults’ hair turns yellow, everyone thinks it’s because they lack some element, but in fact it’s actually some disease. So is yellow hair a disease for children? Why do some children have yellow hair? What is the reason? Is this because the child has a disease? What should parents do?

Perhaps everyone knows that the medulla and cortex cells of normal hair contain melanin granules, which determine the color of the hair. The keratin cells in the hair obtain nutrition from the hair papilla. Any factors that affect the nutrition supply of the hair papilla will affect the growth of melanin, and thus affect the hair color.

In addition, the level of human nutrition affects the division of hair matrix cells. Therefore, the speed of hair matrix cell division directly affects the density, growth rate and quality of hair. People with low nutrition levels or even severe malnutrition will suffer from hair withering or even hair loss over time. It can be seen from this that thin and yellow hair in children is not a disease. The quality of hair has a lot to do with the baby's nutritional level.

If you want your baby to have thick, black hair, you must first ensure that the child has enough nutrition and add some foods rich in iron, zinc and calcium to the diet, such as milk and dairy products, beans, vegetables, and dried shrimps, which are high in calcium. Liver, meat, fish, rapeseed, amaranth, spinach, leek, etc. contain high levels of iron.

In addition, the use of iron tableware can help supplement iron. If you have a picky eating habit, you should try to correct it. It is also worth mentioning that some parents shave their children's hair when they are infants in order to make their baby's hair grow thicker. This practice is extremely harmful because shaving a baby's head can easily cause trauma. When a baby's scalp is injured, due to its low resistance to disease, bacteria can easily invade the scalp, causing scalp inflammation or folliculitis, thus affecting hair growth.

The above content is some introduction to the question of whether yellow hair in children is a disease. Knowing this, you will understand the real reason why children’s hair turns yellow. Therefore, do not mistakenly think that this is the reason for the child's illness. You can let the child eat a reasonable diet in life and try to eat all kinds of vegetables. Do not let the child be picky or partial eaters. If the child's nutrition intake is rich, the child's hair will naturally grow well and become darker.
