What products to use to wash baby and children's hair?

Use a specificshampoo for children with a neutral pH that also helps moisturize the scalp. If the baby has cradle cap, an oily shampoo may be preferred, which aids in the subsequent removal of the scales with a fine-toothed comb. Remember for the first few months it is not necessary to use shampoo: it is fine to use a bath-shampoo for babies or rinse the head with plain water. Never use a generic shampoo intended for adults.

With the first bath you can also wash your head, paying attention, as we said, not to let water get into your eyes. You don't necessarily have to use a shampoo, just warm water or the same product you will use for the bath is fine.

When you wash your hair pay attention to the delicate areas of the fontanelles, pass gently on these areas and do not linger rubbing too much.
