When I was younger then; I used to play a lot and whenever they give me comb to Comb my hear some thing will just be coming out there life small particles.

Some times if a lady is comb her hear in the saloon and the particles us coming out of her hear she will really fill disappointed and people around there some times they might even be looking at some one who do not use to take good care of her self.

But here I will like to talk about babies.
Cradle cap is an oily, yellow crust that forms on a baby's scalp. The skin is often red and irritated. Cradle cap usually results from not washing the baby's head often enough, or from keeping the head covered.

If one notice any signs of it on baby.
Treatment:
- Wash the head daily. If possible use a medicated soap.
Frequently scrubbing with soap and water is often the only treatment necessary for dandruff, cradle cap as well as for minor ringworm, tines, and other fungus infections of the scalp.

- Gently clean off all the dandruff and crust. To loosen the scales and crust, first wrap the head with towels soaked in lukewarm water.

- Keep the baby's head uncovered, open to the air and sunlight.

If the problem persist get Medical help.
