What is the baby's lack of yellow and sparse hair?

In our daily life, we may see that many girls have yellowish hair. The appearance of this hair color may be due to insufficient nutritional deficiencies in the body, which leads to insufficient hair pigmentation, so the hair appears yellowish. For yellow hair caused by malnutrition, you should focus on taking care of your diet and having good living habits.

1. What is the reason for children's less hair?

1. Lack of nutrition

Healthy hair growth requires protein, vitamins, and trace elements such as iron and zinc. Children's diets may be relatively monotonous and they can only eat certain foods. Some older children may also be picky eaters. Therefore, special attention should be paid to children's dietary health from an early age. If there is a serious deficiency of iron and zinc, appropriate supplements should be made from relevant nutritional products. This is not just a hair problem, the child's intellectual development will also be affected.

2. Improper head cleaning

Some parents are afraid to wash their children's hair for fear of washing away the only hair they have. In fact, the hair that falls out when you wash your hair is old hair, which will not affect the growth of hair. On the contrary, if you do not wash your hair for a long time, the stimulation of oil and sweat will cause secondary infection, which will affect the growth of new hair. Some parents even rub ginger on their baby's scalp in an attempt to increase blood circulation around the hair follicles and promote hair growth. This method is totally unsuitable for children as it is too irritating and can easily cause skin infections.

The method of shaving the baby's head more often to achieve more hair growth is even more dangerous, because when the razor shaves the baby's hair, many pores will be damaged in an invisible way to our naked eyes. In addition, if the razor is not clean or the skin on the head is not clean, bacteria will take the opportunity to enter the body, causing local small abscesses or skin suppurative infections.

3. Genetic problems

Generally speaking, newborn babies have very little hair. As they grow older, their hair will gradually change and become darker and thicker. This process varies from person to person. Some children may have sparse hair when they are 3 or 4 years old, but the hair becomes normal after they go to school. This is all due to genetics. If the child is in good health and has no problems in other aspects, then there is no need to worry too much about thinning hair. It is better to observe for a while and make decisions first.

Therefore, in addition to nutritional supplements, cleaning the head is also very important. There is no need to worry too much about children's thinning hair. Generally speaking, as long as they are healthy, their hair will grow normally.

2. Reasons for children's yellow hair

1. Genetic factors

Many children have the same hair color as their parents when they were young, and as they grow older, their hair will gradually turn darker.

2. Nutritional factors

The color of a child's hair is related to the protein, vitamins, and trace elements he consumes. For example, children who are iron or zinc deficient will have yellow, dull, and sparse hair. Children who are protein deficient will also have poor hair quality. Children grow and develop very rapidly in their early years, and the nutrition they consume often cannot meet the needs of rapid growth, especially the tall and fat children we see. Therefore, for such children, we need to pay attention to the nutrients they consume to ensure their further growth needs. As the child's nutritional needs are met, his hair will gradually become darker and brighter.

This article talks about the specific reasons why baby's hair turns yellow and thin. If your baby has yellow and thin hair, and this condition is not caused by genetic factors, then you need to check carefully to see if the baby is lacking in nutrition. Generally speaking, the baby's hair turns yellow and thin due to a lack of zinc, protein and other nutrients.
