1 Answer

A. Scanty hair in an 18-month-old can be caused by several factors: Possible Reasons: 1. Genetics: Family history of fine or thin hair can affect hair growth in toddlers. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients, particularly proteins, vitamins (like biotin), and minerals (like iron), can impact hair health. 3. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, especially after the first year, can affect hair growth. 4. Health Conditions: Conditions like alopecia areata or other skin conditions may lead to hair loss or thinning. 5. Environmental Factors: Frequent exposure to harsh chemicals, such as those in hair products, can affect hair health. What to Do: 1. Nutrition: Ensure your child has a balanced diet rich in proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. 2. Gentle Hair Care: Use mild, natural shampoos and avoid excessive brushing or styling. 3. Consult a Pediatrician: If you're concerned about hair growth or if there are other symptoms (like skin issues or changes in appetite), consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for evaluation. Regular check-ups can help address any underlying issues and ensure healthy development.
