What you use will definitely not work for your little one, be it your shampoo or moisturizer. You need to be very careful when it comes to using beauty products on your baby. The scalp and hair of a newborn are just as delicate as their skin and needs equal attention too. It is important to keep the hair and scalp of your baby healthy. The right amount of care and choosing a specific hair care routine for babies in the growing days will help in getting significantly thick, soft, and healthy hair. Recently, Dr Prathibha Babshet, Ayurveda Expert, R&D, The Himalaya Drug Company, issued a statement listing out certain things that you need to keep in mind regarding your baby’s scalp and hair.

Opt for natural products

It is always advisable to opt for products which contain natural ingredients and are known to be safe and gentle for baby’s hair. While selecting the right hair oil, use a product that is gentle, safe, and scientifically researched, and is free from mineral oil, alcohol, parabens, synthetic colour and phthalates.

Choose hair oil with herbs

A baby hair oil with herbs like Amla, Gotu Kola, Methi, Bhringaraja, and oils like coconut, almond, olive and sesame helps moisturize scalp, prevent dryness,nourish hair, and make it soft and healthy. Amla in the hair oil helps strengthen hair and promote hair growth, gotu kola helps improve hair density, bhringaraja helps strengthen and darken hair, and Methi helps prevent hair loss and strengthen and moisturize hair.

Coconut oil is a good option too

The goodness of coconut oil helps moisturize scalp, prevent dryness, and promote healthy hair growth, almond oil helps condition, nourish, and soften hair, olive oil helps keep hair silky and lustrous, and sesame oil helps in nourishing hair.

Massage will help

Massage your baby’s scalp regularly to improve blood circulation and promote hair growth and use a soft towel and gently pat to dry hair; this will prevent breakage.

Body oil will not work for your baby’s scalp and hair

Your baby’s hair and scalp are sensitive during the initial months, making it vulnerable to allergies and irritation. So, try and avoid using the same oil for body and hair.
