Cradle Cap

by Marlena

(April 2007) (rank 13th)

I had a Q&A about my son and cradle cap and i got some really great advice from other Minti Members. What I find works for my son is to not use any products in his hair like Gel or leave in conditioner or detanglers. I

have purchased a anti-residue shampoo and it is helping a lot. I have a special boar brush and when I apply the shampoo I massage his scalp with the brush. When I rinse I use fresh water not bath water because There is soap and sometimes bubble bath also. I didn't think about this before and it helps to use fresh water.

Re: Cradle Cap

All my son's have had it and i found softening it with shampooing or just washing and then combing it out with a fine tooth comb - i've actually used a nit comb. This seemed to work the best for me rather than oil which is a common way of removing it.
