Mum washed our hair every week. I intend to wash bubs hair with just water when they're a small bub...maybe when they get to the stage of being up and about, mushing food through it etc I'll do it once a week with a non chemical, natural shampoo.
KM, I think it's just cos bubs hair is so healthy on it's own :dunno: Be careful with shampooing every night (especially if it's not a non-chemical natural shampoo) as it might end up irritating Miss K's scalp, especially as she has little hair lol.
She's been fine so far with it. And she has dry skin so i use a moisterising bath wash. These are the things nobody told me about! :lol:
We used to wash DS's hair every day or second day when he was a little bub, then somewhere along the way it became less frequent... and now we're at the point where we can't remember when we last did it! The thing is, his hair doesn't look oily or dirty at all, and it doesn't smell bad. I guess cause I'm in Tassie and we haven't hit full summer yet it's not hot enough for him to be sweating too much yet either.
Ozzie: I've heard that about washing your hair less often - I wash mine every day, though I'd love to break that habit and do it much less often... but having to get through the oily hair phase certainly doesn't appeal! :lol:
I havent washed DDs hair...ever...never used shampoo on her hair. She has fine blonde VERY curly hair. She showers with me most mornings and baths every night, i rinse her hair really well and then put some spray conditioner in and brush it when we get out otherwise it forms into one big dred lock!! I guess as she gets older it might need a shampoo but at the moment it never looks oily.
DS goes a couple of months between proper washes, but it gets a straight water wash every couple of nights in the bath/shower. It never looks greasy so I don't bother with the trauma of shampoo.
I rinse DD's hair with water every night. I think I have washed her hair with shampoo 3-4 times in her 15 months, if she has rubbed something in there that won't come out with water.
DD about once a fortnight or if she has food in it. DS only if he has vomited in it
We have to wash DD1 hair daily, only because it's really thick & gets very knotty by the end of the day.
We wash DD2 hair once a fortnight, she has really fine hair & could go a month without washing it & it would still look good.
I was DD's hair everytime she has a bath which is daily or every second day. I wash it with a bit of QV wash and water.
I wash both kids hair after swimming on a Friday and DD11 occasionally has another hair wash in between. When they're not doing swimming I would probably only put shampoo in DS's hair once a fortnight if that, but still wash DD1 hair a couple of times a week as she has really thick hair nad it helps with the tangles.
once a week (but that is only bc all of a sudden DS1 loves it) and if it needs it in b/n... ie paint or food or something in there
