9 important cares for children’s hair

Here’s what to do to keep children’s scalp healthy at all times

Scalp care is essential, regardless of age. In the case of children, in particular, it needs more attention, as this region is more sensitive than that of an adult. Even the little ones, in addition to routine care, can also do hair treatments outside the home, as long as they are in specialized places.

“The best way to avoid unhealthy hair is to teach children healthy habits to take care of their hair. This way parents help prevent damage to their little one’s hair,” says Sandra Perondi, technical director and trichologist at Mais Cabello, chain which currently offers the Detox Kids and Nutritherapy Kids protocols.

Below, Sandra Perondi shares tips on how to take care of your child’s scalp.

1. Get a scalp massage

Massage increases blood circulation and, in turn, helps strengthen the hair follicles. To use this technique on your baby, use a blend of natural oils while massaging the area to be moisturized. It is recommended to perform a 5 minute massage on the scalp at least once a week. Besides being a good spa for children, it is very relaxing.

Two. Avoid tight hairstyles

Tight hairstyles can damage the scalp and strands, as well as make kids’ hair pull out due to the discomfort, which isn’t even a good thing. Go for hairstyles that aren’t too close to the scalp.

3. Use gentle hair products

To avoid dandruff on the scalp it is important to use it hair products most suitable. Using light moisturizing products, with a more natural concept, based on plant extracts, vegetable oil for example, is a good way to moisturize without weighing down or risking excessive accumulation of products on the scalp and on the strands.

4. Avoid harsh chemical treatments and heat

It is not recommended to use baby or relaxing plates on your children. These harsh chemicals can leave scalp burns and are generally not good practices for taking care of hair health.

However, relaxants alone should not be avoided. smooth the baby’s hair regularly and the use of excessive heat can also be harmful to the scalp. Avoid straightening your baby’s hair before teens. Leaving your hair in its natural state for as long as possible is the best way to maturate the scalp organically with minimal tension.

5. Examine the scalp regularly

Common signs of scalp problems include itching, irritation, redness, hair loss, and many more. By examining your child’s area and hair regularly, you will be able to notice any changes. Prevention is always better than cure.

6. use shampoo regularly

We know that children play a lot. Therefore, wash regularly. Hair helps cleanse the scalp of products and removes any scales, sweat and dust that may be present.

7. Use mild conditioners

After washing your baby’s hair, apply a gentler conditioner to help style it and soften the softness of the strands. The shampoo cleanses the scalp, while the conditioner moisturizes the strands. This is especially important for hair that is naturally drier and therefore needs extra help to keep it manageable.

8. Pay attention to food

Everything we ingest will inevitably affect our body’s performance. So yes, the way you feed your kids can make a difference scalp health. Developing a regular habit of feeding children balanced meals that include nutrient-rich foods like whole fruits and vegetables is definitely worth the extra effort. Teaching them to eat right will serve them well physically, mentally and emotionally as they grow up.

9. Consider other pre-existing conditions

Although the scalp is considered part of hair care, it is made up of the skin. So, if your child has pre-existing conditions, such as flaking and dermatitis, which make the skin dry or oily, these problems can also occur in this area. In this case, you may need to create a more personalized hair care routine.

Pay more attention to the type of ingredients in the products you are using on your little one’s hair. Some ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, petrolatum, dyes and synthetic fragrances can worsen the condition of the scalp.

In this case, simple products, with few ingredients and with more natural concept, as it is derived from plant extracts, essential and plant oils, it can be a good option. It is also always recommended to consult a specialist to avoid more serious pre-existing changes in the area.
