Aim for a quick, light shampoo when you bathe your baby, which doesn’t need to be more often than a couple times a week because over washing can strip away the natural oils of the scalp. Always use a mild, tearless, baby shampoo.
When washing, be gentle when you massage the baby shampoo into your baby’s scalp.
After washing pat hair dry gently with a soft towel.
Comb your baby’s hair with a natural soft-bristle brush or a wide-toothed comb or brush that won’t snag on tangles or pull your baby’s hair.
Avoid headbands or ponytails that pull your baby’s hair back too tightly, this can damage the hair.
