Talking about shaving fetal hair

Whether to shave the newborn's fetal hair is also a very tangled thing for many young parents. Old people often remind them to shave their baby's fetal hair at the full moon or 100 days, so that the new hair that will grow back in the future will be black, bright and thick. However, there are also questions. Baby's skin is thin and tender, weak in resistance, active and difficult to control. If you are not careful when shaving fetal hair, it is easy to damage its skin. If bacteria enter the hair roots, it will cause skin infection. If you hurt your baby's tender hair follicle, it will cause hair follicle inflammation, which is not good for future hair development.

Shaving fetal hair is a popular folk saying. It is generally believed that shaving fetal hair for babies born in March and February can promote their hair growth. Many places also have a strong sense of ceremony. Generally, a baby boy is born 24 days, a baby girl is born 20 days, or a fetal hair shaving ceremony is held at the full moon. Shaving fetal hair should choose an auspicious day, hold a banquet and invite a guest, and you can't shave yourself. You should hire a professional barber and give him a red envelope. When shaving fetal hair, put 12 pebbles, 12 copper coins and 12 red eggs into warm water in the basin in advance. After scraping, take out the red eggs, gently roll them on the baby's head, and smear them on the baby's head with egg yolk and onion juice, indicating that the child will be smart and become an official when he grows up. Shaved fetal hair should be wrapped in red cloth and thrown on the roof, and then the baby should be held to accept the congratulations from the guests. Nowadays, many parents will keep their children's birthmarks as souvenirs. Common ones are made of fetal brush and seal, and some are made of lanugo painting.

Is shaving fetal hair really like the legend? It will grow well after shaving, but it will not grow well without shaving. I don't think so. As far as adults are concerned, many people we know don't shave their fetal hair, but most people shave their fetal hair according to the custom, and then many people go bald. What's more, most of them lose their hair after middle age. Therefore, there is not much scientific basis for saying that hair grows well if it is shaved, but not well if it is not shaved. On the surface, hair growth should be closely related to genes. Judging from the hair color and curly hair, people with yellow skin rarely have blond hair, and curly hair is even rarer. I'm afraid a few exceptions are also genetic variations. The quality of hair should also have a great relationship with acquired nutrition. Isn't it said that eating more walnuts and black sesame seeds is good for hair growth and important for daily care of hair? Otherwise, who will sell all kinds of shampoo and hair care products in the supermarket?

Shaving fetal hair should be treated with a normal heart and get rid of stereotypes. When the weather is hot, you should cut your hair, but after all, children are not adults, and safety is the most important thing. In the fifty-second episode of Jin Ping Mei, there is a wonderful description of scaring children by shaving their heads: I saw the head of Zhou Xiao in front of the screen, and Li Pinger said, "Zhou Xiao, you are really good. Come in and shave with junior officials. His hair has grown. " Zhou Xiao quickly kowtowed to everyone and said, "Just now the old man told me to let the younger one in and shave his head with his brother." Yueniang said, "Sister Liu, take a look at the calendar head. Do you shave your head with the children on good days and bad days? " Jinlian handed Xiaoyu the calendar head and opened it. He said: "Today is April 2 1 day, and it is Geng Xuri. It is decided that the golden dog should be upright, sacrifice properly, take officials with him, travel, cut clothes, take a bath, shave his head, repair the ground and break ground, and use the afternoon appropriately. -Good date. " "Since it's a good day," said Yueniang, "send the maid to fetch hot water. You wash your baby's hair and teach Zhou Xiao to coax him to shave slowly. " Xiaoyu put a sweat towel on his hair, only scratched it a few times, and the official boy began to cry. That little Zhou quickly cried at him and just wanted to shave. He didn't want to hold back the child's crying. He was silent and his face flushed. Li Pinger panicked and said, "No, no!" That little Zhou fooled away from the housework and ran outside without feet. Moon Niang said, "I said this child is handsome and protects his head. Cut him yourself. Teach me to shave for no reason, and shave well! " It is natural for the child to hold his breath for a long time before making a sound. Li Pinger relieved, patted him and said, "Good boy, how dare you! I came in for no reason and shaved my brother's head. Shaved half, bullied my brother. Don't take it back until I take it out on my brother. " So I held it in front of the moon. Moon Niang said, "Xiaohua, who is not handsome, shaved her head and lied to you. Why are you crying? The rest tomorrow will be the sheep shearers. " Eyebrow criticism: I saw a good day to shave my head, but I almost shaved my child. Can yin and yang be trusted? Unbelievable? Micro-words ridicule.

It seems that shaving fetal hair should not be superstitious, but also have some scientific common sense.
