Patient's question:
I have never noticed any issues with my daughter's hair before. It's long, but one of my colleagues keeps saying her hair has some split ends. At first, I didn't think much of it, but now I can see it clearly—there are indeed some split ends, and they are a bit yellow. I'm very suspicious that she might be malnourished.What kind of help I need: My child's hair is splitting. Is this due to malnutrition?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Split ends in a child's hair are mostly caused by malnutrition, but some are also due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to have a thorough check-up. In daily life, you can give the child more foods rich in protein. Eat more vegetables and fruits. The above suggestions are for the question "Is split hair in children a sign of malnutrition?" I hope it helps you. Wish you good health!
