Question
My baby is nine months old, and his hair looks thinner than that of children of the same age. Although he is growing and developing well, we have checked for trace elements and found no deficiencies. When he was a hundred days old, we used a special baby hair cutting tool to trim his hair. His grandfather says that using a blade to shave his head will make the hair grow better. I’m not sure if this method makes sense?
Answer
This situation may be due to malnutrition. To improve this condition, we can give the child some calcium, iron, and zinc oral liquids, and also take oral vitamin AD capsules, which all help promote the development of hair follicles and improve hair growth. At the same time, parents should pay attention not to let the child develop a picky eating habit, as maintaining a balanced diet is also very important for hair growth. If the child is diagnosed with an endocrine system disease, timely treatment is needed, along with appropriate gastrointestinal pressure relief measures. In addition, maintaining good hygiene habits also helps promote healthy hair growth.
