1. Use a wide-toothed comb or soft-bristle brush to comb your baby’s hair to avoid the risk of pulling hair too tightly or snagging on tangles!
2. Washing and shampooing are important to keep baby’s hair and nourish it as well. But don’t overdo it – don’t do it every day! Excess shampooing may lead to irritation.
3. Use tearless baby shampoo, and be gentle when you massage it into the scalp of your newborn. Baby’s hair follicles are more vulnerable to get stress when you do a too-brisk scalp massage. This is important to reduce the risk of hair breakage.
4. Avoid high-risk hairstyles such as ponytails or headbands that can pull baby’s hair too tightly!
5. If necessary, consider taking a quick trim for your baby’s hair.
