A. For a baby with dense hair facing dandruff, here are some steps you can take: ### **1. **Gentle Shampoo** - Use a mild, baby-specific shampoo that's free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. - Look for shampoos that are specifically formulated to help with dandruff or dry scalp. ### **2. **Regular Washing** - Wash your baby's hair regularly, but not too frequently, to avoid stripping natural oils. Once or twice a week is usually sufficient. ### **3. **Scalp Massage** - Gently massage the scalp with your fingertips while shampooing to help loosen flakes and improve circulation. ### **4. **Moisturize** - Use a gentle, baby-safe conditioner if the hair and scalp seem dry. - Consider applying a small amount of coconut oil or baby oil to the scalp before washing, which can help loosen flakes. ### **5. **Avoid Irritants** - Avoid using adult shampoos or products that may contain harsh ingredients or fragrances. ### **6. **Consult a Pediatrician** - If dandruff persists or is severe, consult your pediatrician for recommendations and to rule out any underlying conditions. ### **Additional Tips:** - Ensure your baby’s hairbrush or comb is clean and use it gently. - Maintain a clean and healthy environment to avoid exposure to irritants. Regularly caring for your baby’s scalp and hair with gentle products can help manage and reduce dandruff effectively.
