The reason why baby's hair grows vertically

In fact, in daily life, most people don’t have time to take care of their babies too much. Sometimes they are always busy with their work and simply don’t have the energy. In this case, they are very unfamiliar with taking care of their children. If the baby’s hair grows vertically, it will feel very strange. So let us understand the reasons why the baby’s hair grows vertically.

main reason:

The quantity, shape and quality of a baby's hair mainly depends on genetic factors, and secondly on whether the mother consumes enough protein and vitamins during pregnancy. If a baby is well-nourished in the embryo and is born full-term and naturally, the baby's hair will generally have clear texture at birth and be softer than an adult's, like fine threads. If the baby is malnourished in the embryo or is born prematurely, the hair will be thinner and look like cotton. Some hair may even fall out gradually within a month after birth and new hair will grow. In addition, the amount of hair varies greatly among newborns. Some have almost no hair, while others have thick, black hair. However, these cannot determine the characteristics of the child's hair in the future.

Generally speaking, a child's hair will gradually grow well around the age of one, and will become naturally full around the age of two. Of course, not all children’s hair is the same; some may be better, some may be worse, some may be denser, and some may be thinner. Most of the time, this is normal and parents don’t need to worry too much.

A baby's thin and yellow hair is not a disease. Whether it is good or bad has a lot to do with nutrition. Low nutrition levels or even severe malnutrition will directly affect hair density, growth rate and quality.

In addition, if you consume too much sugar, fat, and acidic substances in your diet, your hair will turn yellow and you will lack certain trace elements (iron, copper, zinc, etc.). Copper deficiency can reduce the function of tyrosinase, thus affecting the metabolism of melanin, and iron and zinc deficiency can affect the development and growth of hair cells, causing hair to turn yellow.

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 more iron (cooked in an iron pan).

Try your best to correct your baby's picky eating habits.

Also, if your baby is lacking in trace elements and has problems with his diet, you can try rice seasoning for your child, mixing it with rice or porridge. It is sold on Taobao. There are many flavors and balanced nutrition. Our baby likes to eat rice seasonings with red mushroom and fresh vegetables, chicken liver and egg yolk, and tuna and seaweed flavors. You also need to consider whether it is related to the shampoo product. Try changing a brand. And don't use it with adults. Use shampoo products specially designed for babies.

There is a saying that shaving off the baby's hair during infancy will make the baby's hair grow thicker. This statement has no scientific basis and this practice is extremely harmful because shaving a baby's head can easily cause trauma. Babies have low resistance to disease and it is easy for bacteria to invade the scalp, causing scalp inflammation or folliculitis, which affects hair growth.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the reasons why baby's hair grows vertically. I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if such a situation occurs, it is at most hereditary and there is no need to panic too much.
