Coconut Oil For Baby’s Hair and Skin

Smoothing Hair

If you’re unsure about how to tame your baby’s wild hair as it grows, coconut oil is all you need. Simply rub a bit between the tips of your fingers and then smooth your baby’s hair. Coconut oil helps to keep the flyaways in your desired place naturally, without the use of harmful chemicals that many traditional baby oil contains. Plus, coconut oil is great for your baby’s hair because it’s a natural moisturiser that’s even great for the scalp underneath those strands of hair.

Cradle Cap Treatment

If your baby is developing scaly, rough or flaky patches on the scalp, it’s likely a cradle cap. Your little one may also get it behind the ears or on the face. However, a cradle cap is perfectly normal and isn’t cause for worry. 

Coconut oil helps effectively treat the cradle cap because it provides a moisture barrier for your baby’s scalp while softening the existing skin flakes. Plus, it also helps in soothing any skin inflammation the cradle cap may have caused. Just apply a small amount of coconut oil to your baby’s scalp and gently massage until the oil absorbs into the skin. After that, use a mild shampoo to rinse the oil away with water. Regular use of coconut oil also prevents the scalp from having flaky skin.
