How to wash your toddler' s hair

Sometimes washing your toddler' s hair can be a very daunting and sometimes exhausting task. After several attempts, I have come up with a way that has worked with both of my children.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Baby shampoo
• 2 to 3 wash cloths
• a towel
• some bath toys

1. Adjust the water tempter.
2. Have your toddler get into the tub before it fills up.
3. Wet a washcloth and begin to wet down their hair while they are playing with their toys.
4. Apply shampoo gently and massage the scalp.
5. Begin rinsing the hair with the washcloth. Asking your toddler to close their eyes and wetting their face from time to time.
6. toddler bath rinse cup. Announce that it is time to rinse the hair. Using a cup, gently pour water from the back of the head to the scalp.
7. Blot their face with the towel and you're done!

Tips & Warnings

• Allowing the toddler to be in the tub while it fills will get them used to the rushing water.
• Using a rinse cup is very effective. These can be found in any department store. .I found mine at Wal-mart for under 3 dollars.
• Use calm, flowing motions while washing your toddler.
• Every child is different. You may need to have the tub fill at a slower rate if they are uncomfortable.
• Make sure you have enough washcloths and towels handy.
