Grandparents often recommend shaving blood and hair so that their children will have beautiful hair. Is this a folk concept or is scientifically proven?
Shaving the blood will make your child grow fast, healthy ...
Shaving off the blood will help hair grow longer and thicker ...
There are many other legends that fathers, mothers many times hear from births, aunts, uncles ...
The ugly truth
There is no scientific evidence that blood haircut helps babies have beautiful hair in the future
Unfortunately, up to this point, there is no scientific proof that this is true.
According to research by the Trichological Center (Singapore), the baby's hair texture is determined genetically. All hair follicles are born with your baby.
More specifically, a hair follicle is a pocket of cells underneath the scalp that stimulates hair growth. The size of the hair follicles determines the thickness of the hair in the future.
The larger the follicle, the thicker the hair. The more the follicle, the greater the number of hair.
Thus, it can be seen that shaving off all the blood isn't going to help much for your child's future hair. Even if not careful, the razor also hurts the baby because the baby's head is very thin, the bones are afraid of being soft.
How about other hair phenomena after cutting?
Many Vietnamese families have a tradition of cutting their children's hair and blood
Many people also questioned, why does the baby's hair look so different after the blood has been cut?
The answer is that if the hair is not cut, the child's hair will gradually be completely replaced.
Initially, infant hair is characterized by "short, extremely fine but poorly pigmented". Gradually, during the development, hair will be replaced by the daily nutrients that babies eat. It is this nutrient absorption that makes hair different when born.
Many parents also wonder, do not know why babies often have hair loss, baldness?
According to LIVESTRONG, this phenomenon is caused by hormonal changes in the child's body and lasts about 6 months. In addition, it is also possible that the baby's hair loss is caused by sitting, lying down and sleeping. For example, rubbing your head in a chair, bed, or a cushion.
Notes parents should remember
Hair blood - cut or not does not matter
It is a Vietnamese habit to cut off all of a child's hair when he is born. Because this can be considered a custom passed down from many generations, WebTech360 would not comment.
Because of the fact, whether or not you have a haircut, your child is still thriving.
We only give some notes if parents intend to cut their children's hair:
- Do not cut hair when the baby is less than 5 months old
- Do not cut hair when your baby is sick, unwell or spoiled.
- Use safe tools for children
- Cut as quickly as possible - but be very careful
- Cut her hair while talking to her, comforting her.
- After cutting, bathe your child with warm water.
