What is the best way to wash baby's hair?

What parents pay most attention to nowadays is the health of their baby. Therefore, for the sake of their baby's health, parents pay great attention to their baby's food, clothing, housing and transportation. In order to make their babies clean every day, many parents will bathe their babies and wash their hair at the same time. What is the best way to wash babies' hair? You must pay special attention when choosing shampoo for your baby. Here I will tell you which shampoos are suitable for babies.

1. How to choose baby shampoo

Because each baby's physique is different, mothers should pay attention to different things when buying baby shampoo. So how to choose baby shampoo?

1. A neutral detergent that does not contain fragrance or soap is the best: The baby's skin is very sensitive (especially the scalp), and it is easy to be allergic to chemical ingredients, fragrances, and flavor ingredients, especially chemically synthesized surfactants, because of their strong degreasing power, which can easily cause damage to hair follicles in the long run and affect the healthy growth of hair.

Dermatologists suggest that when mothers choose cleaning products for their babies and young children, they should not only focus on the "fragrance", but also choose neutral cleaning products that are "fragrance-free" and "soap-free" so as not to burden the baby's skin.

2. Avoid ingredients that may cause scalp allergies in babies: The following are several chemical ingredients commonly added to shampoos. Infants and young children should try to avoid using shampoos or bath cleaning products containing the following ingredients.

3. Mild and non-irritating: It has moderate acidity and alkalinity, contains moisturizing ingredients, is easily soluble in water, and does not contain fragrance. Such shampoo will minimize irritation to the skin and eyes.

4. Thin texture: Shampoos and other products for infants and young children are thinner than those for adults, because infant and young children's skin care products have a high water content. You should never buy very thick infant and young children's skin care products.

5. Less foam: The more foam the baby shampoo produces, the worse it is, because foam is irritating and will make the baby very uncomfortable. A good baby shampoo has a certain viscosity and does not produce a lot of foam.

6. Tear-free formula: Tear-free formula does not irritate eyes, moisturizes hair and prevents skin allergies.

2. Precautions for baby shampoo

Babies are not like three or four-year-old children who can listen to their mothers, so it is relatively difficult to wash their hair, and there are many precautions when using shampoo for babies. But do mothers know what the precautions are for baby shampoo?

No matter how old your baby is when washing his hair, you should always pay attention to giving the baby emotional comfort in a timely manner. When washing the baby's hair, keep the baby's body as close to the mother's chest as possible, and in close contact with the mother's upper body. The baby's head should not be hung too upside down, just tilted slightly. While washing the baby's hair, the mother can whisper a few warm words to comfort the baby.

Water that is too hot or too cold will irritate the scalp and make the baby feel uncomfortable! Supervisor Liu Wenqi suggested that the appropriate shampoo temperature is about 37-38℃. If the mother wants to measure the water temperature more accurately, she can prepare a water thermometer to measure it.

When washing your baby's hair, do not scratch your baby's scalp with your fingers. The correct way is to use your entire palm to gently massage the scalp; when washing the hair, mothers should not scratch the head with their fingernails to avoid scratching the baby's delicate skin. If the mother's hands are small and cannot cover the baby's ear holes, she can also use cotton to plug the external auditory canals of the baby's ears to prevent water from entering the baby's ear canals.
