Is shaving your head a standard for babies in summer?

As the weather gets hotter, babies often sweat. In order to reduce the burden on their babies, many parents shave their heads to cool them down. However, this practice may not be very friendly to babies.

First of all, when you shave your baby's head, their skin is tender and easily scratched and scarred. If there are scars, the baby may scratch his scalp constantly, which will affect his rest.

Secondly, if the baby's resistance is reduced, bacteria can easily invade the scalp, leading to infection. Infection may damage the hair follicles. A person's hair follicles are basically determined by genetics. **The number of hair follicles determines the amount of hair a person has. **The size of the hair follicles determines the thickness of the hair. When the hair follicles are damaged, it will affect the normal growth of the hair.

In addition, without the protection of hair, the baby's scalp is completely exposed, and its ability to absorb heat is enhanced. After being exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, it may feel hotter. This is like when the sun is shining brightly, we will choose to wear a hat to block the sun to reduce the temperature. Shaving the head may cause heat stroke or prickly heat. Moreover, without the protection of hair, it is easy to attract mosquitoes.

For the sake of our children’s good looks and physical and mental health, let’s abandon the bald hairstyle.
