HAIR babies sometimes thin, sometimes entirely without hair (bald), and often too crusty. Indeed, the condition of your scalp and your child is not the same.The little need more intensive treatment. To be sure, as long as he's healthy, no problem. After all, the hair that grows on your baby's head still temporary hair, the hair is not permanent.

Well, how do I treat this problem hair that later has beautiful hair and healthy? .

Straight, wavy or curly?
Actually, before the baby is 1 year old up, parents will never know what kind of hair later. Growth and infant hair type (straight, curly, thick, thin, or blond, black, etc.), strongly influenced by:

• Genetic factors from both parents. Not necessarily from parents directly, but can also from the above parents' generation, such as grandparents.
• Nutritional factors. Child malnutrition hair texture will be affected. Child's hair color is red, drier, more easily fall out or break, and grow thin.

Although its role is not large, these nutritional factors are also required children to get healthy hair texture. Some vitamins and minerals may trigger hair growth, such as zinc (found in fish-fisheries) and selenium.

• Many in the sun or pollution also affects hair texture. As with diseases, such as dandruff which often occurs in infants or children.
• Hormones. One of these androgen hormones. Often there is a baby who is very thick hair at birth. It could have been due to the influence of his mother androgen hormones. The reason, he could not produce the hormone androgen alone. After birth, long borne the effects of androgen from the mother missing. Child's hair was falling out, replaced with the original hair may be thin.

Shaved hair

So far there is no medical research to prove the child is often shaved, the hair will eventually grow thick. Rationalization that might happen is because the hair at the base of the hair is thicker than at the end, so that when the hair was shaved, the hair looks more solid or more.

Similarly, if the child's hair when the baby straight, then grow into large curls as she, it is also not true. That affect a baby's hair growth are the factors above, particularly factor genetic.

Newborn baby's hair can not be used as a benchmark hair as adults later, because in most cases still a vellus hair. When the baby over the age of 1 year, generally choose a terminal hair can be a picture of how the type of hair as an adult later on. But it is not a guarantee. These three factors above may affect the process of hair growth journey.

Dense because pecan
So did the celery and hazelnut. Although most of the myths about the hair can not be explained medically, there are a few of them that makes sense. For example, for thick hair, should be covered with hazelnut oil. There is also a suggested use of celery or young coconut water.

Remember, empirically, based on experience, this myth may have a point. The reason, walnut oils. Well, the oil can be used to treat dry hair or less fertile. But in terms of pharmacological never researched, what the content and the impact of pecan.

What is clear, as long as no side effects, try this way okay. Only natural materials such as sometimes it does not contain substances that we know that can irritate baby's scalp. In fact, the baby's skin is more vulnerable and easily irritated by the materials from the outside. This is to be careful.

Hair care for babies
Hair care during the baby also affects hair growth in babies. Some parents panicked look thin baby hair that using too much lotion, tonic, or materials of hair grower. Yet, these substances can actually cause irritation or allergies in the baby's scalp and hair actually trigger baldness.

Babies do not need too much hair. Shampoo does not need to be given every day, just 2-3 days. However, rinsing the scalp should be done every bath. Noteworthy is:

• Use a shampoo with a pH balance, which is 4,5-6. Most shampoos have high pH, resulting in tangled hair and burning when the eye.
• Make sure the shampoo does not contain sulfate (as contained in the adult shampoo) because sulfate can also cause hair matted.
• Although the baby's hair had grown, try to maintain the cleanliness of the scalp by using a mild shampoo (super lightweight).
• How to rinse the head or a good shampoo is as done in the salon, where the position of the child's head facing the ceiling, to avoid dribbling of shampoo into the eyes or face.
• Use a comb with a soft brush hair
• Do not use too many cosmetics, hair at the age of 1 year first, because it could trigger irritation or allergy to the baby's scalp.
