Hair Loss Care

From a very young age, hair is a large part of your child’s identity. Kids want to look good, and you will find them taking an interest in their hair even at kindergarten age.
As parents we can teach our children how to take good care of their own hair, and encourage them to learn good hair hygiene techniques. Below are some of the hair care tips for children which should be followed thoroughly to make his/her look gorgeous: Washing - wash hair using a mild shampoo that doesn’t sting their eyes. When they are old enough, teach them how to shampoo and rinse their own hair. Use conditioner when your child is older and has longer hair. Avoid putting conditioner on the scalp. Tangles – detangling is best done before you wash your child’s hair. Use a wide tooth comb and start at the bottom of the hair, working your way up. Tangles can cause terrible battles between you and your child. To reduce the pain of combing tangled hair, hold taut the section of hair you are trying to comb. For problematic tangles, you can spray in a good detangler. Combing/Brushing – encourage your child to comb/ brush their own hair. Use a comb, not a brush on hair that is wet. It promotes shine and minimizes hair breakage. Accessories – use good quality brushes, combs and accessories for your child’s hair. Kids love having fun clips and hair ties. Avoid hairclips with sharp teeth, as these can hurt the scalp and cause hair damage. Keeping hair neatly tied back is a good way of avoiding hair tangling. As your children get older, they will begin to have preferences about the hairstyles they like. This is a natural identity issue that stays with us into adulthood. By teaching your children good hair care techniques when they are young, you will be guiding them to a lifetime of healthy hair.
