Reply With QuoteDS has his hair wet every night in his bath or shower and washed with shampoo once or twice a week depending on what he's been doing ie in the sandpit or swimming or just plain hot and sweaty.

DS (8) washes his hair everyday, DD (4) probably every second day as she has REALLLLLLLLY long thick hair and it ends up in a mess if I don't.

I don't!! I make my husband do it!! DD squeals and carries on if I try it but apparently it isn't an issue when Daddy does it....so he does it about once a week.

Every second day here, my kids have fine hair like me and it gets greasy quickly if it isn't washed often!
Sorry to sound ignorant LOL, but how does this keep nits away Trillian? I'll have to keep that in mind if the kids get nits!

Nits do not like clean hair. I think they can't get hold of the hair if it's a bit greasy?
I wash my boys once a week and DD when I remember. She can go a good couple of weeks without me washing it. I wet it most nights in the bath. I washed DD's for the first time last night since?????

When I was growing up it was every Sunday night!
My 3 little kids shower instead of bath, so its wet-washed every night. I hate using chemicals so thats fine with me. I rarely pull out the shampoo and cond for them. Only when I have to!
The 3 big kids shower each night, and wash hair every second night. The boys have short hair, and the tween has past the shoulder hair, but they all have thick hair.
Does anyone know a good alternitive to sham and cond????

don't worry Sterla....I have no idea how often it gets washed either. When it looks like it needs it.
We wash the kids hair most nights. I have never even thought not to wash it, I just do it because they're in the bath or shower and that's what you do
Mind you I wash my hair every 3rd day.
*walks off scratching head wondering how I came to the above conclusion*

i do it about once every 2 weeks. unless it is particularly dirty....

once a week with shampoo unless its needed more but normally its just a wet wash (no shampoo or conditioner) every night as she rolls around in the water and I tip the water over her head.

Errmm... once a month, maybe? When it gets kind of stinky? Lol, DD2 hates having her hair washed so I generally don't bother unless it's getting really foul - her hair is super-thick and curly and actually looks best with a bit of natural oil to keep the curls in nice little ringlets, so I try to avoid causing her the stress of getting shampoo in her eyes! DD1 likes having her hair washed but isn't keen on sitting still while I brush it so I tend to just wet their hair and let it do its own thing

I can't remember ever using shampoo on DD. She gets her hair wet in the bath but I've never made a concious attempt to wash her hair, she is pretty bald though!

Every Saturday after swimming and any time there is food in Elijah's hair... he also gets his washed probably 1 or 2 times more during the week as he's a real sweaty bubba and gets a stinky head lol.... so not a nice baby smell to him anymore!!!
Trillian, they say that nits are a sign of nice clean hair, so makes sense
Also re: washing hair... the more you do it the worse it can actually be for your hair... it's actually really good to not wash your hair too often... and before you say oh but I have oily hair... that quite often can be because you are washing it with shampoo and stripping the oils so your hair goes into overdrive and creates more and more oil to try to fix it. If you leave it and go through that oily stage it should start to balance itself back out again and you won't have to wash it all the time because it won't get oily!

Every 2nd night.. DD1 has long curly hair for her age and it gets knotted on itself, i also use a tea tree spray on it every day when i brush it.
Registered User
I thought you washed their hair at every bath time...
DD doesnt have very much hair at the moment but i always shampoo it every bath time which is generally every second day. But when shes up and about the will change to every night as part of our night routine.
Are we not supposed to wash their hair every bath time or is that because they grow to not like it??
