You’re raising your kid to have a good head on their shoulders — make sure they also maintain a great head of hair! Keeping your kid’s hair clean isn’t always easy, especially when playtime and bedtime could amount to tangles, dirt, and dandruff. Finding the right hair care routine is so important for keeping your kiddo’s hair happy and healthy. A great shampoo and conditioner is the perfect place to start! Here’s everything you need to know to find the best shampoo and conditioner for your kid.

When it comes to children’s hair care, fun shampoo scents and colorful conditioner bottles abound. However, toxic chemicals and faulty hair formulas can be just as common. Make sure your kid’s hair care is safe, natural, and effective. Here are a few key qualities to look out for when choosing your kid’s shampoo and conditioner. 

Cleansing and moisturizing

It goes without saying that shampoo should be cleansing, but the cleaning agents in many kid’s shampoos are too harsh. This strips away the hair’s natural oils, and can lead to a dry scalp, dull hair, and dandruff. It’s important to make sure that your shampoo is also hydrating, so look for shampoos that feature a high-moisture formula. Similarly, you should look for a clean and natural conditioner that will moisturize without adding grease or build-up.

No harsh chemicals or toxins

Many kids’ shampoos and conditioners feature the same harmful chemicals as adult hair products —  including parabens, sulfates, and even formaldehyde. Colorful kid’s products may also feature harmful dyes and synthetic colors. Be sure to take a close look at the ingredients in your kid’s products, and look for paraben and sulfate-free products. 

Natural ingredients

Natural, plant-based ingredients are always the best and safest option for your kid’s hair care. Many natural ingredients feature wonderful benefits — for example, kiwi extract features hair-strengthening zinc, and mango seed butter is great for hydrating and conditioning. 

SoCozy has an incredible line of safe and natural hair care. The great-smelling, salon-quality formula makes finding an awesome shampoo and conditioner easy. From curly hair to 3-in-1 products to lice prevention, SoCozy has the perfect shampoo and conditioner combo to help hair shine and grow.
