Reasons and solutions for slow hair growth in babies

In fact, parents should be very concerned about their baby's every move.

The development of a newborn's hair goes through lanugo, downy hair, and finally permanent hair. This process varies in speed. Generally speaking, the fetus will grow lanugo when it is 4 months old in the mother's body. For some fetuses, the fetal hair will slowly fall off while in the mother's womb; if the fetal hair falls off less, the baby will have more hair when it is born. After birth, new hair grows after 1-2 rounds of natural shedding. The first batch of hair loss usually occurs at 2 to 3 months, starting from the back of the head. After half a year, hair growth enters another stage, with the baby's hair being reborn and growing permanent hair. A stable hair growth cycle begins. A baby's hair growth usually starts from the top of the forehead, and the hair grows at different rates in different areas, so it often looks sparse or mosaic-like. Parents don't need to be too nervous about this. Usually, the hair will begin to grow gradually about half a year after birth, and by about one year old, the growth rate of all the hair will tend to be basically the same. By the age of one and a half, the hair has basically grown out and the head is full of hair.
