The reason why a 1.5-year-old child has less hair

Many babies still have very little hair when they are one and a half years old, which makes them look ugly. For baby girls, it is even uglier. My baby has less hair, and the mother is very worried about it. She is afraid that the child has not developed well and that the child will remain like this when he grows up. What should I do? What is the reason why a one and a half year old child has less hair? Let us find out through the following.

In fact, thinning hair is normal for babies of this age. It is just a temporary physiological phenomenon and will not last forever. At the same time, it has nothing to do with the mother's nutrition, medical condition, pregnancy reactions and emotions during pregnancy. Usually, when the baby is about 1 year old, the hair will gradually grow, but it will be sparse. In the second year, it will grow thicker. When the baby is 5-6 years old, the hair will gradually become thick and black, but the mother needs to take care of it carefully according to the following methods:

The first rule is to wash your baby's hair diligently. Newborn babies grow and develop very quickly and have a very active metabolism, so the scalp secretes a lot of oil. If the mother does not always wash the baby's hair, the oil, sweat and other secretions on the scalp as well as pollutants will irritate the scalp, causing itching, blisters, and even secondary infections, which will make the hair fall out easily. Only by washing your baby's hair frequently, keeping the hair clean and hygienic, and stimulating the scalp can you promote hair growth. When washing your hair, you should use baby shampoo to promote hair growth. When washing your hair, you should use a special shampoo for babies. Gently massage your hair while washing and do not rub it hard to prevent it from getting tangled. Then rinse with clean warm water.

Second, when combing your baby’s hair, you should use a rubber comb, which is elastic and soft and will not damage the baby’s scalp. You need to comb your baby's hair in the direction of its natural growth, and don't force it in one direction.

Through the introduction above, you already know the reason why a one and a half year old baby has less hair. If the baby has sparse hair, mothers can use the above care methods to increase the baby's hair. A baby's thin hair may be due to genetics or a lack of trace elements. We should take good care of the baby and seek medical attention in time if he feels unwell.
