Children’s hair care should not be taken lightly as washing too frequently or using the wrong shampoo may cause hair and scalp damage. So, how often should a child wash his or her hair? For toddlers three times a week should be sufficient unless he or she is active and perspires frequently, you may then need to consider washing it more frequently. As the child’s hair gets longer, wash it every other day but less often for those with very curly or dry hair.
Whether it is short, shoulder-length or with long tresses, having manageable healthy and beautiful hair is every girl’s desire. So what shampoo would be suitable for controlling frizzy hair and achieving beautiful, tangle-free and healthy hair?
To answer these questions, CARRIE JUNIOR recently organized a hair workshop to share about hair care for children. Conducted by celebrity hair stylist Dwen Soteto, the lovely afternoon workshop was also attended by celebrity guests Nazril Idrus and his twin daughters as well as Ben Ibrahim and his daughter. Guests and members of the media were taught more than just combing or hair braiding but they were also given valuable insights into caring for the delicate scalp and hair of children.
Some of the tips shared were:
- Squeeze dry hair gently
Prevent frizz by using a soft towel to gently absorb water from strands post-shower. Using softer material will prevent your hair from getting tangled and damaged when you dry it. When you use a coarse towel or when you rub your hair it is more likely to cause frizzing. Do not wring out your hair or squeeze too hard as this can easily damage hair.
- Wide tooth comb on wet hair
Use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair. Avoid using brush on wet hair as wet hair is more prone to breakage and may also lead to frizzing.
- Brushing hair
Brushing hair helps in stimulating the blood capillaries, thereby increasing the blood circulation and transportation of nutrients and oxygen to the stem, root and bulb of the hair. It also helps in stimulating various oil and hormone producing glands to help hair retain their natural oils. By brushing your hair properly you add life, shine and volume to your hair. Only brush when hair is dry.
- Comb from the ends
Don’t start at the top; you’ll just make tangles worse. Instead, begin at the ends and slowly work your way up the hair shaft towards the roots, gently pulling apart knots with your fingers.
- Curly and dry hair
Curly and dry hair types are usually more fragile than straight hair. It is a good idea to wash it less frequently.
