Should I Oil Baby’s Hair Everyday?

It is not important to apply oil every day to the baby’s scalp. But it is important to apply oil. So you can keep it for a few hours and then wash it off. Remember that keeping a baby’s hair oiled for too long can attract dust into it. So it’s better to apply a small amount of oil to the baby’s scalp to keep the hair healthy.

How Can I Take Care of My Baby’s Hair?

The first thing is to avoid using any adult products on your baby. Use baby-friendly and baby-specific products for your baby’s hair care regime. This is because adult products contain chemicals that can be harmful to the baby. Only use a soft and gentle baby comb. Be patient and use gentle motions when dealing with your baby’s head and hair. Your baby’s hair will look best when handled with care and compassion.

Baby Hair Oil: How To Use It

You can start by gently massaging your baby’s scalp with baby-safe hair oil. You can pick pure and organic coconut hair oil. Then wait for a few minutes after the massage and use a mild shampoo to wash it off if the hair wash is due. Avoid applying too much oil as it can attract dust.

Divide your baby’s hair into different sections if it’s thick. You can use a dropper for convenience. Focus on the dryer and flaky areas of the baby’s scalp, especially if there’s some cradle cap. Use a washcloth after applying the oil to get rid of any dry flakes and dandruff.

Pick A Natural Baby Hair Oil

You can pick a natural baby hair oil with the goodness of ingredients like coconut oil, vitamin E, aloe vera and other essential oils that can help to sustain moisture in your baby’s hair. Avoid using scented oils as they can irritate the baby. Massaging the baby’s scalp gently can be good stimulation for the baby. However, be careful as too much oil can clog the pores and the baby’s scalp could get infected.

You can find many varieties of organic baby oils in the market which claim to be natural. However, organic oil is the best as it is safe to use for the baby and is free from preservatives, parabens and synthetic fragrances.
