If baby loves bath time and playing in the water, washing his hair is not automatic. But then, how often should we wash our children’s hair? Should you do this every time you shower or bathe? We show you the right actions to adopt to keep your children’s hair clean without damaging it.
While it is easy for us, as adults, to know when to wash our hair, after a long day outside, a sporting activity or even when we notice to the eye that our hair is no longer as shiny and clean, this is more difficult for a child. Indeed, you should know that children’s hair is much more fragile than that of adults, even if it requires regular washing to keep it healthy, it should not be overused.
Eh yes ! A child’s scalp does not secrete as much sebum as that of an adult, so it is very important to take a few small precautions so as not to damage the scalp of your little blond head! If you can use special non-aggressive pH-neutral shampoos, what will really matter is the washing frequency required. Experts indicate that up to the age of eight, one shampoo per week is sufficient for a child with rather short and fine hair. If, on the other hand, you have to deal with thick and long hair, you can go up to two or three shampoos maximum per week.

Around the age of 10, children’s hair follows hormonal changes and tends to get greasy more quickly. In this case you could increase the frequency of washing while massaging your child’s scalp with lukewarm water. The activity your child does will also be a determining factor in how often he or she washes his or her hair. Intensive practice of a sport or repeated swimming will, for example, encourage them to wash their hair more often.
Still, it is important to give the sebum on your child’s scalp time to nourish it sufficiently before washing their hair. Even if your child goes swimming every day, it is recommended to allow at least a day to pass between washes.
