Shampoo for kids - no tears

[ladybirdflies]

have you seen those jugs at kmart that are rubber and plastic. The rubber bit goes against their forehead to waterproof eye area, maybe try that. My kids don't waas their hair much, but anytime they go in chlorine they need it washed that day so don't stop washing their hair!! Goodluck!

DS loves to lay back in the bath and 'float', while he does this I tend to wash the shampoo out (GAIA), would your kids go for this trick?

However he goes to swimming lessons and it really depends on his mood, some times he will let me pour a jug of water over his head and he doesn't care, other days he is rather precious about it.

Hey OP, I had a bit of a lightbulb moment last night about this

With my dd's they would freak when they saw the bottles of shampoo and conditioner, let alone when I attempted to wash their hair.
But last night I was thinking (whilst washing dd's hair) I wonder if the kids would still react the same if you got some of those clear or coloured sauce bottles, decorated them, then filled them without the kids knowing with shampoo and conditioner. When hair washing comes round you could grab it and call it something random and add a quick story to it, perhaps they will play the game and let you wash their hair?

Just a thought anyhow? Im tempted to give it a go with mine to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for the thought beans! Might be worth a try. We've gone back to J&Js... I just do a bit of this :lalala: while I'm using it I did have an awesome two weeks where DD's hair was braided (thank you Vanuatu!!!) and I didn't have to wash it or brush it or anything. It was fabulous!!! But the holiday is over, so we are back to it.

I saw a pic on AliBaby's FB of her DS with some sort of hair washing thing, maybe I'll ask her what that was. Might help.
