Your child’s hair probably accumulates more wear and tear than yours does- whether they’re learning to swim, playing out in the cold, running around and sweating, or playing with their own hair. Pick a gentle shampoo, such as NaturAll's all-natural and sulfate free Avocado Shampoo. However, shampooing more than once a week is likely to dry out natural hair as well, since it strips out natural oils. The result is dry hair! Also, don’t forget that your child is a child- their hair will get dirty while they’re playing. Product residue builds up over time and can clog pores and block moisture from entering hair follicles.
No matter what you’ve heard, you DO need to shampoo your child’s natural hair.
