Modern young mothers are reached by such myth: it is necessary to shave the head to the kid in a year that hair at him grew better. Earlier it practiced practically all families. But actually, skin and hair at children too gentle for similar manipulations.
Why shaved babies earlier
Several years ago practically all kids in a year were bald. Our grandmothers and grandfathers very actively shaved the heads to our parents to stimulate growth of hair. Already it is possible to see the shaved baby much less often. And it pleases, because of such treatment of gentle leather it is possible to receive a set of problems.
As hair at children change
Hair at the newborn very much differ from those at the adult. They are more similar to light down. Even if hair at the baby very long, they most often thin and easy. From any breeze they bristle. Extremely seldom kids with dense curls are born.
Down on the head of the baby very thin, it is easily wiped from a collar on clothes (especially if there is not enough vitamin D). Gradually hair at children become longer and more dense. About a year process when full-fledged hairs appear begins. At this age often there is a need to make a hairstyle: tickles ears, the bang gets into eyes, etc. But it is not necessary to shave the child.
Than shaving of the head is harmful
The quantity of hair bulbs does not increase over time how many they are in skin, it is so much and will be. Is more visible to an organism of the kid when and as they have to work. Shaving will only injure head skin. And it is just fraught that a part of hair bulbs will just die. The razor will scrape off a protective layer because of what the crust can be formed from skin.
Hair after such procedure will become really more rigid, but for gentle skin of the little person in it there is nothing good. The rigid bristle will scratch it from within, inflammations and gnoynichka are formed. The density of hair at children does not depend on whether shaved the head in a year.
All these inconveniences – a scab on the head of the kid, inflammation, the grown hairs, a rigid bristle – hardly promote good health of the child. More adequate option of actions of parents: it is simple to allow hair grow, shearing them where they bring discomfort. At someone in a year already dense hairstyle, and someone goes almost up to 2 years with "two hairs". You should not worry and harm because of it to own child, shaving him the head. Everything is good in its season: the down is replaced with hair at children sooner or later.
