Why do you want to cut the full moon head?

The popular saying is: shaving the "full moon head" at the full moon means that everything starts from scratch, and the more the fetal hair is shaved, the denser it becomes. There is rhetoric in meaning, but it is unscientific to scrape tighter.

In this regard, Zou Xiaoyan, director of the dermatology department of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that it is wrong to say that fetal hair is thicker, which is a kind of "superstition". Because the thinning or thickening of hair is related to hair follicles and pores on the scalp, the growth speed, thickness and thinning degree of baby's hair are affected by many factors, such as parents' genetic factors, baby's nutritional status and growth and development level. In most cases, parents have thick hair, and the baby's hair will be thicker after birth.

According to reports, under normal circumstances, when full-term newborns are born, scalp pores and hair follicles are mature and the number is relatively constant. Hair grows about 0.3 mm every day for about 3 days1mm. The amount of vitamins and the length of sunshine exposure have certain effects on the growth rate of hair. Shaving fetal hair will only shorten the original hair, not increase hair follicles and pores, and of course it will not make the hair more and more dense.

It is very risky to shave fetal hair prematurely.

1, the baby's scalp is delicate. If you don't cooperate, in the process of shaving fetal hair, the baby's scalp may be damaged due to twisted head or unskilled hairdresser, which may seriously cause bleeding and scalp defects.

2. The blood supply of infected scalp is very rich. Once the baby's scalp is accidentally damaged or even caused local damage, bacteria can easily invade the baby's body through the damaged part, causing local or even systemic infection; And if the shaving tools you use are not strictly disinfected, even if there is no obvious scalp defect, there may be some minor injuries, which may lead to some infectious diseases;

3, the scalp skin of the baby with damaged hair follicles is delicate. If the hair of the fetus is not carefully shaved or the hair is shaved too short, it may hurt the hair follicles under the scalp, resulting in hair follicle damage, resulting in less hair than before.
