Tips for using shampoo with children

Bath time is not usually a bitter time for children, but things change when we want to wash their hair. The water falling down his face and sometimes getting into his ears, the shampoo that irritates the eyes and the feeling of having spoiled his moment of relaxation can complicate this obligatory hygiene measure that is to wash the hair.

That is why it is important to master some tricks so that washing hair does not turn into a battle: 1. Luckily, children's hair should not be washed every day, it is better to space the washings every two or three days or according to the needs of each child's hair type. And of course, the key factor when it comes to washing hair is shampoo. No 2. There is no need to use a large amount of shampoo, just put on our palm a quantity similar to de a walnut

to leave the child's hair clean and shiny.

The question that most worries parents and children is what type of shampoo for children is the most appropriate. The fundamental premise is that it is a shampoo as natural as possible, that does not damage the scalp and does not irritate the eyes of children. And to know what

type of shampoo

we are buying there is that unwritten rule that says: if you can not easily pronounce the ingredients of the shampoo, do not buy it.

If for children it is important to choose a shampoo with a fun container, colored and with drawings that draw their attention, for parents it is more important that the shampoo does not contain too many chemicals that in the long run will be harmful to your hair. What we are looking for is a soft shampoo , without dyes, without preservatives, without artificial fragrances and that does not cause irritations or allergies.

The key is in the shampoo label. We must verify that the infant shampoo is free of parabens, those preservatives that prolong the life of many cosmetic products but that over time produce allergy. If in addition the words organic or natural are read in the shampoo and do not contain artificial sulfates or dyes, we will be facing the type of shampoo that best suits our children.
