The clothing should be modified in conformity to seasonal changes of cold and heat, the criterion of which lies in the fact that the children's hands and feet are warm but do not sweat.

The children's clothing and quilt should particularly avoid being too thick and too warm while too much clothing should not be advisable at usual times.
Combing the hair often tonifies the brain. According to the theory of meridians and collaterals in TCM, the head is "the place where all yang meridians meet and all meridians communicate". The acupoint in the middle of the vertex is called Baihui (GV20). Combing the hair regularly makes people and the mind refreshed and overcomes fatigue. The process of combing the hair is actually massaging the every acupoint of the head, which regulates the excitement and inhibition of cerebral cortex via this stimulation of massage, improves blood circulation and the secretion of subcutaneous body of gland and improves nutritional metabolism. This is the so-called function of activating blood circulation and qi flow, dispelling wind and improving sight, nourishing and consolidating the hair, refreshing the mind and improving sleep.
It is advisable to comb the hair once in the morning and in the evening respectively. Comb the hair from the front to the back, and then from the back to the front, from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left. Repeat the cycles for from dozens of times to more than one hundred times until the feverish and contracting sensation appears on the scalp.
It is advisable to comb the hair more and wash it less. An ancient book says: "People should wash the hair once in five days except in summer." Take particular care not to expose the head to wind and cold. Otherwise, it would be susceptible to headache. In addition, it is not advisable for girls to have the hair permed. It is not even more advisable for girls to wear the hair-curling tube or hairpin to go to sleep in case the hair roots should be suppressed to affect blood circulation.
