Some special babies with long, vertical hair can feel very strange, giving the first impression that the baby is sick. Because its hair growth pattern goes against common sense, which is a typical manifestation of zinc deficiency for some people, is the baby's hair growing vertically zinc deficient?
1. The growth status of a baby's hair is closely related to many factors. If parents have vertical hair, then the baby's vertical hair is a genetic result, not due to zinc deficiency. Parents don't need to feel worried or anxious.
2. The vertical length of a baby's hair is closely related to their hair texture and hardness. If your hard hair is short and hard, you will particularly like to stand up. Moms can choose shampoo with soft hair function. If the hair no longer stands upright after using the hair softener, it means that the baby's standing hair is not related to zinc deficiency.
3. It may be caused by insufficient calcium. In this case, not only will the baby's hair grow vertically, but they will also experience symptoms such as excessive sweating, pillow baldness, and night terrors. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement calcium and zinc in a timely manner. Eat more complementary foods that contain calcium and zinc elements, such as sesame paste, dried fruits, oysters, etc. These foods can help to quickly replenish calcium and zinc.
4. Giving babies fresh vegetables and fruits can also help improve their hair. It can effectively supplement vitamins and nutrients, which will greatly improve the phenomenon of sparse, yellowing, and standing hair in babies.
