How to Care for My Baby’s Hair

November 5, 2025 by Maya Leave a Comment

Some babies are born with a full head of it, others with barely a fuzz — and both need care. Between cradle cap, tangles, and dry patches, figuring out what’s normal takes time.

Let’s be real: baby hair has a mind of its own.

Here’s what actually worked for us — and what didn’t.

What Helped:

  • Washing only twice a week with gentle baby shampoo.
  • Brushing daily with a soft-bristle brush to prevent flakes.
  • A drop of coconut or baby oil on dry spots.
  • Pat-drying instead of rubbing.

What Didn’t:

  • Using adult shampoo — too harsh.
  • Over-washing — made the scalp drier.
  • Tight hats right after bath — trapped moisture.

Our Lifesaver:

A silicone baby scalp brush — soft, easy to clean, and great for cradle cap.

If you’re wondering whether your baby’s hair will stay curly or fall out — it’s all part of the journey. Keep it clean, soft, and natural — the rest takes care of itself.
