Children's hair: special features and hair care tips
Hair care for children is just as important an issue as it is for adults. There are products specially developed and designed for children's hair to meet their special needs.
Unfortunately, the subject of hair care is still not easy. Most children protest against washing and combing. In addition, the hair is still very tender and sensitive. The children's scalp is also more sensitive and more susceptible to external influences and incorrect treatment. It is now a matter of choosing the right care products.

An extensive hair wash with suitable shampoo can be intensified by a conditioner. A conditioner prolongs the shampooing process, and the time the products take to soak in makes it easier to comb the hair afterwards. Such a conditioner can work wonders against a ruffled mane. Be sure to use a mild shampoo and conditioner specially formulated for children's hair. This will also prevent redness and irritation of the scalp. The shampoo should not contain any silicones. Children's hair should not be washed daily, once or twice a week is sufficient.
There are also products that can be massaged or sprayed into washed hair. They additionally care for the hair after washing and make styling easier.
If possible, use brushes with natural bristles, such as wild boar bristles. The soft bristles protect the scalp. Brushes that specialise in untangling hair are just as suitable.
Braided hairstyles or braids are practical for long hair and are currently very trendy. Knotted or tousled hair does not please any child. You should always use hair bands without metal transitions, because these can damage the hair.
When washing your hair, it is best to wash it only with lukewarm water. The cooler the water, the less the hair will swell, which makes combing easier. To prevent water from running into the eyes, place a washcloth on your child's forehead and eyes. After washing, allow the hair to air-dry lightly before brushing. Wet hair is more elastic than dry hair and can be damaged more quickly.
The dry tips of the hair should be cut regularly. The hair remains healthy and free of splits. This prevents the hair from being confused and tousled so quickly.
Conclusion
In summary, it can be said that children's hair has very individual needs and must be distinguished from adult hair. With the products specially developed for children's hair and a few tips and tricks, you can give your child this specific care.
