Patient's question:
My daughter is now 10 months old, but she has very sparse hair. However, her development in all aspects is not normal. What could be the reason for her sparse hair?! How is it that newborns have less hair?Doctor's answer:
According to your description above, I suggest you shouldn't worry too much. On the one hand, the genetic tendency of hair is very obvious, and there are individual differences. The number, color, and pros and cons of hair are related to the parents' genetics to a certain extent. If the parents have good hair, the child's hair will also be better. If the parents have poor hair, the child's hair will also be poor. On the other hand, the number of hair at birth has nothing to do with the future number of hair. The growth of hair in infants is the same as the growth of the body. It can be early or late, fast or slow. As the body develops, most children will gradually go from thin to dense, from yellow to black. A large number of facts show that by the time they are 1 to 2 years old, infants with sparse hair are no different from other children.
