Beginning a child’s hair care journey starts with their first natural shampooing. Morrocco Method Int’l Baby Friendly Shampoos hardly foam and yet are simultaneously gentle and potent. Unless Baby's scalp has accumulated excess debris, dead skin cells, and oils washing once is enough. Even babies without much hair still benefit from having their scalp washed to promote follicle and sebaceous gland health for when their hair does grow in.
Dilute: Our shampoos are super concentrated, dilute it 1:1 with water for easier application.
First Wash: Apply about a tablespoon of diluted shampoo to Baby's scalp and spread it with a light massaging motion. It won't lather. Rinse thoroughly.
Second Wash (if needed): Apply shampoo again and massage longer to stimulate blood flow to scalp and hair. Rinse.
Infants generally do not require an additional wash-out conditioner as our Morrocco Method Baby Friendly Shampoos are ultra-moisturizing. For knots or tangles, our leave-in spray conditioner Diamond Crystal Mist is perfect for additional detangling power. Plus, babies generally find the mist coming from the blue bottle fun and entertaining.
Words from Our Hair Shaman
Making Baby's first hair care moments a pleasant experience sets the tone for a lifetime of healthy self-care. You can easily avoid early hair care trauma by adjusting the following to your child's preferences:
Temperature: Find out your child's tolerance from cool to warm. Start with lukewarm water, always avoiding icy cold and super hot.
Pressure: Adjust the pressure and the jet of the shower-head before directing it onto your child's scalp. While your child is happily playing in the bathtub he might get startled if suddenly, a gushing sound and a strong jet hits his head. We recommend applying the diluted shampoo first, spreading it over the scalp and then once the child is used to the touch, introduce the gentle flow of water for the rinse.
Eyes & Face: Before you begin rinsing your child’s hair bring their attention up. Take a toy and make it fly, have your child reach out for it or find something else, which makes your child look up and tilt her head backwards. Then start the rinsing. Another alternative is teaching your child how to close his eyes by demonstrating yourself how you close your eyes before you let the water run over your head and face.
