How to preserve baby's hair and make it into a hair brush

After the baby's lanugo is shaved, the family can use the hair to make lanugo pens, lanugo stamps, sachets and other things. These are very collectible and can be preserved for a long time. However, parents should note that it is not recommended to shave the baby's hair for babies under three months old.

1. Fetal hair brush: The fetal hair of the baby is made into a brush. The pen holder is made of various materials, generally nanmu, white jade, etc., and there are also more ordinary materials. High-end materials use fine carvings and have high collection value, which is a good choice. Since it is a collection, you can only look at it but not use it, so you must keep it well. The disadvantage of high-end materials is that they are too expensive

2. Fetal hair stamp: Put the baby's fetal hair into the stamp, and then seal it with glue. The stamp can still be used, which is also a good choice. The materials of the stamps on the market are generally crystal, glaze, glass, amber, acrylic, etc. There are many choices of size and shape, and most of them are zodiac signs.

3. Sachet: Many people also make small sachets out of cloth and put the baby's birth hair into them. Hanging them on the baby or at the head of the bed is said to ward off evil spirits. However, the disadvantage is that sachets are made of cloth, which will get dirty over time. After ten years, the cloth will fade, become old or even damaged, and the sachets are easy to lose. But the antique style has a classical charm and is indeed attractive.

When should the baby's hair be shaved?

You can wait three months to shave the baby's head. In some places, there is a custom that when the baby is one month old, the fetal head and even the eyebrows should be shaved off. It is believed that by doing so, the child's hair and eyebrows will grow black, dense and beautiful in the future. Experts believe that there is no scientific basis for "shaving the fetal head on the full moon". How fast or slow, how thin or thick, how much hair grows has nothing to do with whether the fetal head is shaved or not, but is related to the child's growth and development, nutritional status and genetics. The baby's skin is thin, tender and has weak resistance. Shaving can easily damage the skin and cause skin infection. If bacteria invade the roots of the hair and destroy the hair follicles, not only will the hair grow poorly, but it will backfire and cause hair loss. Therefore, it is better not to shave the "full moon head".
