Do you condition your toddler's hair?

[Pearls18]

DS has only started getting hair cuts regularly the last few months as it took a long time for it to grow, even now it's still quite a babyish style and colour he looks like I did at that age but he will no doubt darken up as DH and I are both very dark haired but were blonde toddlers, anyway I digress, after his last hair cut his hair has felt very course and dry, it kinda makes it stick up easily when he sleeps on it...no big deal obviously lol, but I was just wondering if conditioning would help moisturise it a bit? But we only use Johnson's baby shampoo ATM and not sure if this is normal or strange behaviour to condition lol, my husband will think it strange...

Yes I pop my conditioner on my 4 yr olds ( it's really long ) about once every ten days, just on the ends x

I use a two in one shampoo and conditioner on Maria's hair (its a kids one)

I use a grownup good shampoo and contioner on megans hair - she is 4. I also use salon products after washing it to help with the snarls and to try to help her handle me combing it. I use an expensive kids shampoo on Jordan who has 1/4 inch of hair but sometimes just water and no conditioner yet.

Yep, I've been using conditioner on my LO's hair for quite a while. Definitely a necessity for curly hair like hers.

No i dont, she doesent need it. Johnsons baby shampoo is very drying and by no means gentle as it claims. Try swapping to another shampoo and only wash it twice a once or twice a week if you can.

 

[x__amour]

Yes.

 

[CaptainMummy]

Sometimes. Im still trying to figure out how to tame my daughters wild curls!

We don't use a conditioner at the moment - had been considering due to all her knots but found a great hairbrush to tackle them instead.

I'd try a gentler shampoo first and see what that does - I think johnsons can be drying to skin so stands to reason it could do same to hair (my hv said 9 times out of 10 she can get a baby's skin condition cleared up simply by telling mum to switch from johnsons - it's all the alcohol perfumes).

 

[SarahBear]

No, I don't use shampoo on her (or myself, for that matter), so no need to use conditioner.

 

[Pearls18]

Oh I'm jealous of the curls lol! Okie doke I shall switch from Johnson's, any recommendations? Should it still be child/baby specific?

 

[OmarsMum]

We have Mustela & Everyday Shea shampoos for Omar, I use coconut oil as a conditioner.

We use halos and horns, get it from boots

 

[lovelylaura]

Yes. And i would say change shampoo too, anything but johnsons. TBH i just use my normal shampoo on the girls now.

 

[supertabby]

We use Cussons Mum and Me Baby shampoo and bath wash, I've heard Halo and Horns is good too.

Lo hair was quite dry at the end and I was using Johnson's till I was told it can make hair quite dry. After his dry ends were cut off I started using Asdas little angels shampoo and conditioner 2 in 1. His hair is in much better condition plus it's a lot cheaper to buy! X

 

[Dragonfly]

I just go for a 2 in one with the boys they have longer hair.

 

[XJessicaX]

Yup, I use an adult conditioner on DD1's frizzy hair as it is curly and she looks like a nutty professor without!

 

[katy1310]

Yes, she has very long hair with ringlets so it really needs it. Any time I don't use it, it doesn't look right! I only wash her hair 2-3 times a week because it doesn't really get dirty, plus if it was washed every day, it would be too soft to stay in a ponytail/plait.

I use either the Johnson's baby leave in conditioner in the green tube, or the L'Oreal kids one. Sometimes I use a 2 in one shampoo and conditioner instead. If I'm using conditioner, it's after the Johnson's baby shampoo for light/blonde hair, the one with chamomile in it. Her hair is awful if I just use that shampoo on its own with no conditioner but beautiful if I use conditioner. For the 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioners, she has a couple of the L'Oreal ones, a couple of Avon ones and one of the Naked ones and they all seem to work really well xxx

 

[SaraEmily]

Now that her hair is longer I do. The ends have turned into ringlet curls so if I don't use adult conditioner it turns into a frizzy, knotted mess.
