Question
Parents inquire about the potential negative effects of children having long hair.
Answer
Experts state that the nutritional requirements of hair are relatively small compared to other parts of the body and are part of the body’s normal metabolism, so there is no need to worry too much about the length. However, if a child has health issues, parents should promptly take the child to the hospital for examination and treatment, and follow the doctor’s instructions for symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication.
