Moms and dads want to see their child the smartest, healthiest and most beautiful. Slow hair growth in a child can be very distressing for parents. There are several common causes of poor hair growth in children.
Poor nutrition
The child's daily menu should be balanced and nutritious. Indeed, with food, all the substances necessary for its normal functioning enter the body.
Excessive use of all kinds of desserts and sweets, flour products does not affect the hair in the best way.
Lack of vitamins
The quality of the baby's hairline may also depend on whether his body's need for vitamins, especially E, A, PP, B6 and B12, is met. In addition to a balanced diet, the child needs to take special vitamin complexes. It is also worth noting that a small person may lack trace elements, for example, calcium, phosphorus, which are responsible for hair growth.
Hair follicles are nourished by good blood circulation in the head, which is why a lack of nutrition leads to weakening of the roots and slower growth, in some cases, hair loss in large quantities.
Improper care
In order for the child's hairstyle to always be at its best, you need to properly care for his hair. For example, the harmful factors that slow down the growth of strands include daily shampooing with poor quality shampoos, improper combing with iron brushes, and combing the head immediately after bathing.
Genetic predisposition
Heredity is often the culprit for many deviations from the average statistical norms. Paying attention to the relatives of the older generation, it is quite possible to determine the reason for the slow growth of the hairline.
Stress
There is an opinion that in children who are prone to stress and various experiences, hair grows much slower than in calm ones. In this case, the child should be shown to a pediatric neurologist who will help you solve the problem of such behavior of the child, thereby eliminating the cause of slowly growing hair.
Diseases
In addition to all other factors, there are many different diseases that can also affect normal hair growth. For example, rickets. This ailment can be caused by a lack of vitamin D in the body. For the prevention of rickets in the cold season, it is useful for children to give synthetic vitamin D, and in the summer, it is necessary for the child to spend time outdoors under the sun's rays as long as possible.
