Each baby's hair grows at its own speed - some quickly enough, and some very slowly. All this is due to a large number of various factors, paying attention to which, you can accelerate the growth of hairs.
About hair
Hair follicles are laid in the scalp at about 6 months of fetal development. This explains the fact that some babies are born with a fluff on their heads. However, this is not necessary at all. There are several main reasons why the crumbs do not grow hairs or grows very slowly. These include: nutrition, heredity, stress factors.
Food
Hair is a kind of indicator showing the internal state of the body. Therefore, it is very important to structure the child's diet in such a way that the baby receives as many vitamins and minerals as possible, uses various foods, but at the same time ate a balanced diet. For good condition and rapid hair growth, it is necessary that calcium and vitamins are present in food: A, B, C, D, E. Make sure that the child eats a lot of protein foods: meat, cheese, eggs, legumes. The fact is that hair is almost 70 percent protein. Limit your crumb from eating fast food and a lot of sweets by replacing them with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Heredity
The rate of hair growth is very strongly associated with hereditary factors. So, if the mother's hair length changes by only 0.5-0.7 cm per month, then one can hardly expect that her daughter's hair will grow at a rate of 2 cm or more. Pay attention to what the parents' hair was like when they were as small as their baby. If there are no strong differences, you should not worry. However, if by the age of 3 the baby has practically no hairs, see a doctor. Maybe the reason lies in the presence of some kind of disease.
Stress
The calm, relaxed atmosphere at home has a beneficial effect on the health and mental well-being of all family members. Scientists have noticed that easily aroused, nervous children grow hair more slowly than their more relaxed peers. Therefore, if you notice that the child is often freaked out and nervous, consult a neurologist. Perhaps the reason for the slowed down hair growth lies precisely in this.
Care
There is an opinion that in order to accelerate hair growth and make them thicker, the child must be shaved bald. Scientists have long refuted this myth, since it has no scientific justification. After all, as mentioned above, the bulbs are laid even in intrauterine development. Therefore, cutting off all hair cannot affect the number of hair follicles. This also does not affect the growth of hair.
Be careful when choosing a shampoo for your baby. It should be as natural as possible and free from synthetic additives, and the pH should be close to neutral.
Comb your hair with a soft brush before bed. This massage will increase blood circulation and will have a beneficial effect on the rate of hair growth.
