1. Nutritional deficiency- Iron, Zinc & Biotin
Hair follicles need 3 nutrients most -
•Iron - carries oxygen to follicles
•Zinc- build protein structure if hair
•Biotin- produces keratin
Solution: Iron(Ragi, Spinach, Beetroot, Moong & Masoor Dal.
Zinc(pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, dahi, Rajma, paneer)
Biotin(sweet potato, banana, almonds,walnut, avacado)
2. Poor scalp health - cradle cap, dryness & itchy scalp
•Cradle cap creates a waxy, scaly layer on the scalp that blocks follicle openings. New hair has nowhere.
•Dry scalp reduces blood circulation - follicles receive fewer nutrients.
•Itchy scalp leads to scratching causing physical damage to follicles.
Solution: Regular oil massage
3. Harsh shampoo
Baby scalp ph is slightly different from adults around 4.5 to 5.5.
Solution: Choose gentle & mild baby shampoo without Parabens & Sulphate.
