Most parents understand how important it is to regularly bathe your child, but far from everyone knows how to do it properly and what makeup is better for children. Every year the assortment of children's care products is growing. Even today, at any children's store, you can buy different lotions, creams, shampoos, powder and bath foam. Although still some 20 years ago, a variety of children's cosmetics included only baby soap, cream, powder and shampoo "Krya-krya." Therefore, many mothers sometimes find it difficult enough to make their choice among such a variety of goods, and some do not see at all, washed away in the acquisition of children's cosmetics. In this article, we'll look at how best to wash your child's head and what pediatricians advise about it.
Than to wash a head to the child?
To wash a child's head with baby soap or shampoo for adults is strictly forbidden, this can be confirmed with certainty by any pediatrician. Baby soap contains a lot of liquor and can cause irritation on the skin of the baby's head, and adult shampoo, as a rule, contains many additives and can cause allergies.
Some moms think that the use of shampoo is absolutely not necessary. Hair as such on the head is not there, so you can use soap. This is not exactly the right approach to business. Today the situation is such that shampoo serves not only as a means to clear the head of fat and dead cells, it is also able to strengthen hair follicles and nourish the scalp. Especially good with this task cures natural baby shampoo. Extracts of chamomile, nettle and string perfectly strengthen the hair. Shampoo with lavender will help the baby to relax before going to bed. A calendula has an antimicrobial effect.
Now there are shampoos with different smells: even with the scent of cola, caramel or cake, which will appeal to a child who does not like to wash his hair. They often add a harmless substance that gives a bitter taste. This will not allow the child to drink it with pleasure.
Which baby shampoo is better?
A huge number of manufacturers today are engaged in the manufacture of children's cosmetics. But when choosing a shampoo in the first place, pay attention to its composition, not the brand. Remember:
- shampoo for children should be hypoallergenic;
- it should have a weakly acid pH;
- he should not irritate his eyes.
Children's shampoos without sulfates have a great advantage. They do not so dry the scalp and have a mild detergent effect. But they have one drawback - the price. Not everyone can afford it.
