If you have an infant (ages 12 months and under) with natural hair, there are a few things to keep in mind. Learn hair care tips from a dermatologist and a doctor.
A new baby can bring so much joy, and also a long list of things to learn. Keeping their cute little tresses intact is one. If you have an infant with natural hair, there are a few things to keep in mind.
“If you’re going to use something, look for products that have as few ingredients as possible,” Jones says. “Baby’s hair is sensitive in that first year of life and very gentle, so read those ingredients!” Think simple and gentle. Keep in mind that “some shedding and patches on baby’s hair are normal,” Jones says. “Your baby’s hair doesn’t need to lay down. Their hairline may be uneven and that’s OK. And they definitely don’t need any chemicals!”
While adults with natural hair may wear satin bonnets or wraps at night to prevent hair dryness, that’s not a good idea for infants. “When babies are very young, they aren’t moving as much, so you don’t want to use anything that can slide over the face,” Jones says.Sometimes hair and scalp issues can be caused by a well-meaning caregiver. So let your babysitter, relative, or anyone else who helps with your baby know what you prefer.
