How often do you wash your lo's hair ?

[Laura--x]

Maisie has a bath everyday before bed, and most nights i do wash her hair because its got mucky from during the day, but then i had a thought and i know that we're told we shouldnt wash our hair everyday because of it stripping the natural oils it, does that apply with kids too? Is it best not to actually wash their hair everyday?

I wash it every 2/3 days. But if it is dirty i will use water to rub all the bits out (dont have a bath so Jaden showers)

She generally has a bath every other, but if she has rubbed food/suncream/paint into her hair (more often than not now), then she's in bath every night. So yeah washed every to every other night, i have no choice!

i don't wash my sons hair every day he has a bath but only usually wash his hair 2 maybe 3 times a week, it aways looks healthier to me the less its been washed. some weeks when he gets super mucky it gets washed loads and after a few days being washed in a row it looks quite dull etc

we usually do a bath every other night! but sometimes he gets a bath every day but unless he's smeared something in his hair idont always wash in every day

If I can get away with not washing it every night then I will... but Sofia has a lot of hair and she likes to put stuff in it so more often than not it gets washed, baby wipes just don't cut it! I use a really gentle shampoo (burt's bees) and just hope that helps.

It's normally every 2 days or every other even depending on whether its caked in food or not
He's not keen on having his hair washed so when he's in the bath and I can get away with needing to wash it the better really as boy does he yell when I wash his hair!!

I give Grace a bath every other night unless she's really mucky. I wash her hair whenever she goes in the bath. I used to do it every night but like you said, it strips natural oil from your hair so I don't now

 

[Snowball]

I do every 2/3 days

I never thought of that I wash my lo hair every day as he has a abath every night before bed, my sister is a hair dresser and she washes her lo hair every day aswell

I never really thought of that either! I wash Charlie's hair every night cos it's usually covered in food/drool/paint/suncream whatever! Hope I'm not damaging it now

I wash Ruby's hair with shampoo only once a week! Another time in the week I just rinse it with water. It doesn't usually get dirty.

I'm pretty much the same. I wash it with a solid shampoo from lush once a week but wet it maybe another time he's in the bath. It looks really healthy so I don't feel like I need to wash it more. If he gets loads of dirt and stuff in it I might give it an extra wash.

I was gonna ask the same thing!! I would love to know how to keep his hair clean for a day haha! Just tonight he rubbed some raspeberries into his fringe and he had suncream on all day so his hairs quite sticky - no way I could'nt wash it!

Olivias is just the same, her hair is always dirty at the end of the day (food, paint, soil etc) I wash her hair in Burt Bees body and hair wash.

Harvey gets his hair washed every Sunday plus whenever he needs it throughout the week. We bath him most nights but don't always wash his hair.

Me too, love that stuff, smells so nice

Even if I didn't wash her hair Sofia does it herself, pours water over her head and then rubs bubbles in.

I don't know what she does to her hair but we often end up with dreadlocks at the back by the end of the day!
