Understanding Your Baby's Scalp and Hair Type
We don't think of the scalp as skin, but that's exactly what it is. It's skin that our hair grows out of from hair follicles underneath the scalp. Therefore, the scalp can also be sensitive, allergic to chemicals and fragrances just like the skin on our body.
Children's scalps are very delicate and must be treated and taken care of just like the skin on the body. Most hair care products in the market are too harsh for children because they contain chemicals and fragrances that will irritate your children's scalp. Children need hair products that are specially formulated for them. Gentle, chemical free products is best for children.
