It’s time for parents who shave their children’s “full-moon hair” to stop, or be careful of damaging their children’s appearance.

More than once, I listened to the advice of an old man to shave the head of a newborn baby. But children are so young, is shaving their heads really good for their hair growth? In fact, this statement is still related to the past era when the material foundation was poor. At that time, the children did not take baths, but after the confinement period, mothers and babies who were 100 days old began to return to normal life. In order to make their children look good-looking and energetic, some old people simply shave their children's hair.

It seems that shaving a child’s head has nothing to do with the child’s ability to grow more and darker hair. In fact, not only does it not matter, it may even be bad, and it will also affect the quality of the hair that will grow later.

Scientific parenting advice is that a little boy should have some hair, about 5-10 mm. Too long will make the child look too messy, and too short will damage the child's scalp. In addition, there are certain types of children who must not shave their heads.

3. Children with dandruff

Babies secrete sebum faster, so they are more likely to develop dandruff. Many parents think that there are ways to deal with these dandruff. It means shaving the child's hair, but on the contrary, these dandruff have already stuck a lot of hair together. When shaving the head, they will definitely involve each other and cause pain to the child. The child will cry because of this, which will increase the number of scalp injuries. opportunity.

It seems that the child's hair should not be moved around. It is not too late to shave the child's skin when it becomes rougher.

As for whether the child's hair is black or thick, apart from the influence of genetic genes, parents should not expect that shaving their hair will solve the child's problem. It is better to give more advice during pregnancy or when the child can eat complementary foods. Give your child some foods that are good for hair growth and blackening, such as black sesame seeds, black beans, walnuts, black fungus, etc.
