A child's hair growth depends on factors such as nutrition, health, and heredity. Poor hair growth is very often a matter of concern, especially for girls' parents, so you need to know how to deal with this disorder.
Instructions
Step 1
Hair is an indicator of health status. Improper and unbalanced nutrition can make hair dry and brittle. Therefore, include fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A, B and C in your baby's diet, as they have a beneficial effect on scalp health and prevent hair breakage.
Step 2
Feed your baby eggs for breakfast. They are able to delay the entry of the hair into a resting state. In addition, eggs contain magnesium and biotin, which are essential for baby's hair growth.
Step 3
Replace white bread, crackers, and spaghetti with whole grains. They contain vitamin B and biotin. The latter promotes the production of keratin, the protein that makes up hair. Whole grains also contain inositol, which protects hair follicles.
Step 4
Be sure to include fish, beef, and olive oil in your child's diet so that he gets Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids.
Step 5
To improve the growth of baby's hair, substances such as zinc and iron are very important. Their deficiency in the body can lead to hair loss. You can get these elements from beef, pork, chicken, bran, oatmeal, and wheat germ.
Step 6
Teach your child to take proper care of their hair. Explain that they should not be rubbed down with a towel after washing (they will break). You need to comb carefully without damaging them. Moreover, the brush should be made of natural bristles. If necessary, it is advisable to use a hair conditioner to prevent hair from tangling.
Step 7
If any diseases of the scalp appear, you should immediately consult a doctor. It is very common in children to have lichen, dandruff and alopecia, which can cause poor growth or hair loss in a child.
Step 8
If you are in doubt about the normal growth of your child's hair, contact a specialist who, based on the necessary tests and medical history of the child and your family, can determine the true cause of the problem.
