Patient's question:
Hair follicles are fragile, so is it good for children to wash their hair every day? Does anyone know? Please help answer.Doctor's answer:
Hello, washing your hair every day is not good because the child's hair follicles are quite fragile and cannot be washed daily. Adults also shouldn't wash their hair every day. Generally, it's recommended to wash your hair three times a week, not every day. It's troublesome and not good, and frequent hair washing can also damage the scalp.When washing a baby's hair, you can hold the baby's head with your left hand. At the same time, use your left thumb and index finger to cover the baby's ears to prevent water from entering. Then, use a small towel dampened with water to gently clean your right hand. After washing, use a dedicated towel to gently dry the baby's head. If water accidentally gets into the baby's ear, you can use a clean cotton swab to absorb the water from the ear.
