Daily Care and Other Considerations for Kid's Hair

Proper Washing - Use a gentle shampoo for cleansing children's hair. Emulsify it in your palms and spread it through, concentrating on the scalp. With the balls of your fingers, rub semi-firmly all over the scalp and squeeze the shampoo into the ends gently. Be sure to rinse adequately. Scalp itchiness and irritation can be caused by residue from your shampoo. Lift the hair away from the scalp and let the water flow right through.

Conditioning - If your child has long hair or suffers from static, use a daily conditioner to keep it smooth and well-behaved. Be sure to rinse well, especially at the scalp to reduce build-up.

Tangles - Leave-In-Conditioner is the key here. And a wide tooth comb. Plus a sprinkle...no make it a heaping spoonful of patience. To eliminate the pain factor for the child, always start combing at the ends and work your way up. Grasp the section of hair you're working with midway down and hold it firmly. This way, the tugging is happening in your fist rather than on your child's scalp. If the hair is thick, separate it into a few large sections and work through each before combing the hair as a whole.





Chlorine - If the hair has that sickly greenish cast to it already from exposure to chlorine, there are a few tricks you can use to neutralize the color out. Try a rinse with tomato juice, or make a shampoo paste by mixing your usual shampoo with a touch of water and one of the following ingredients...baking soda, dissolved aspirin, or alka selzer tablets and rub it into the hair. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse and condition as usual. Apple cider vinegar can also be used as a rinse for removing chlorine.

As a preventativle measure, saturate the hair with a pre-treatment like Joico's Phine which is a conditioning chelating treatment. It protects hair from discoloration due to chlorine, copper and other impurities.
