While some babies are blessed with a full head of hair from birth, others might be born bald and remain that way until beyond their first birthday.
Even if your baby has minimal hair, using a baby shampoo can help keep their head clean by gently removing spit up, food and dirt without harming their scalp.
As a newborn’s skin is very delicate, it is highly recommended to use a mild shampoo to keep them protected.
Check out our picks to keep your baby’s hair clean and luscious.
