How is Baby's Hair Care?

With your baby, the main goal to keeping your baby's hair healthy is moisture. With that being said, you should only wash their hair once or twice a week when they are young, because this should be all the baths they have unless they are crawling. Once you start bathing your baby daily, still keep washing their hair to a minimum, unless it absolutely needs it. If your baby is biracial, you should adjust the number of times because biracial hair sometimes gets greasy if not washed daily.

 

With babies and toddlers, however, I don't recommend using these products just for the simple reason that you don't know what all is used in these products. What you'll want to do is take about a dime to nickel sized amount and rub into your hands before distributing throughout your baby's hair. Any more than this and it will make their head greasy.

Babies don't come with a manual, unfortunately. Even so, motherhood will not be the exciting journey that it is without the challenges along the way. But to get at least one thing out of the way, here's a little 101 on taking care of your baby's hair. Be very careful not to go obsessive-compulsive on your child. Applying pressure to the soft spot on top of your baby's head will endanger her.

That's called adolescence. But that's a whole other story. One reason could be that their shampoo has stung their eyes once before and they are afraid that it might happen again. One solution is to make sure you buy a shampoo that is especially formulated for babies. They are also free of sulfates that are in most adult shampoos. However, also consider that baby shampoos tend to have a higher pH-balance, which causes hair to tangle. One solution is to switch to very mild shampoos as your child grows older and develops longer hair.
