How to Take Care of Your Baby's Hair?

There’s no way to predict how much hair a baby will have at birth. Some babies are born with a lot of hair and others are born without hair. Even when a baby has hair at birth, their hair will fall shortly after delivery, then later regrow. 

Understand that it’s completely normal for a newborn to have no hair or to have hair loss! It doesn’t indicate an underlying health problem. But you might be eager for your baby’s hair to grow. If so, here are a few things you can do:-

1. Apply coconut oil. Coconut oil is rich in natural vitamin E, which is a nutrient with antioxidant properties, it can also promote hair growth by improving blood circulation to the scalp.
2. Brush your baby's scalp. Gently combing, brushing, or massaging baby’s scalp can also stimulate hair growth.
3. Shampoo regularly keeps their scalp clean and also loosens cradle cap.
4. Use a hair conditioner. Conditioner is a moisturizing agent that replaces moisture stripped away by shampoo. It helps protect and strengthen the hair.
5. Use a soft towel. When drying your baby’s hair be as gentle as possible. Use a soft towel to lightly dry their hair.
6. Detangle hair. Each day, gently use a soft brush to detangle your baby’s hair.
7. Maintain a healthy diet. A healthy balanced diet is helping your baby grow thicker, fuller hair.  
8. Apply gelatin to your baby's scalp. Apply the gelatin mixture to your baby’s scalp and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse out the gelatin and shampoo your baby’s hair as normal.
9. Avoid hair ties. Tying your baby’s hair too tight can damage their hair and cause hair loss.
10. Give baby a haircut. If your baby has hair loss or bald spots, a haircut can get rid of patchiness and allow their hair to grow in evenly.
