Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best product for baby hair?

When choosing the best product for baby hair, it is essential to look for gentle, hypoallergenic, and tear-free formulas specifically designed for infants. Products like Mustela's Foam Shampoo for Newborns are popular because they are formulated to prevent and treat cradle caps while being gentle on the scalp.

What is safe to put in a baby's hair?

For safety, it is crucial to use products free from harsh chemicals, parabens, phthalates, and when putting anything in your baby's hair. Natural oils like coconut or almond oil are safe and can be used to moisturise the scalp and hair.

What are the steps for proper newborn haircare?

Proper newborn haircare involves simple steps: use a soft-bristled brush or comb to gently detangle hair, wash the hair with baby shampoo, and ensure the scalp is clean and dry. Avoid using adult hair products on your baby, as they can be too harsh for their delicate skin.

Do I need a haircare routine if my baby doesn't have hair?

Establishing a haircare routine is still beneficial even if your baby doesn't have hair. Gently washing the scalp with water or a mild baby shampoo helps remove oils, dirt, and potential cradle cap buildup.

How often should I wash my baby's hair?

Washing your baby's hair should generally be done two to three times a week. However, this can vary based on your baby's needs, activities, and whether they have conditions like cradle cap.

What's the best way to care for dry skin on my baby's scalp?

For dry skin on your baby's scalp, it's best to use gentle, moisturising products like Mustela's Stelatopia Foam Shampoo, designed for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Massaging the scalp with natural oils can also help alleviate dryness.

Should I worry if my baby is losing hair?

Hair loss in babies is usually not a cause for concern. Due to hormonal changes, it's common for babies to lose hair within the first few months of life. Hair typically regrows within a few months. If the condition persists, you should consult your paediatrician.

Every strand deserves the utmost care, especially regarding your precious baby's delicate hair. At Mustela, we understand the importance of using gentle, tear-free formulas to cleanse and nourish your little one's scalp from the first bath. We also know that some babies develop cradle cap, a common condition that causes flaky patches on the scalp. Mustela's gentle shampoos can help loosen and remove cradle cap scales, promoting healthy hair growth.

Nature's Goodness for Healthy Hair

Mustela's baby hair care products are formulated with carefully selected natural ingredients to nurture your baby's hair and scalp:

  • Avocado Perseose: This hero ingredient, derived from avocado, helps to reinforce the skin's barrier and protect the scalp.
  • Organic Sunflower Distillate: Known for its hydrating and soothing properties, to keep hair hydrated and reduce itchiness.

These gentle formulations are tear-free and hypoallergenic, minimising the risk of irritation and creating a truly enjoyable bath experience for your little one.

Making hair care a joyful experience

Bathtime can be a wonderful opportunity to bond with your baby. Here are some tips to make washing their hair a breeze:

  • Create a warm and relaxing environment: Fill the tub with warm water and use calming music or soft lighting to set the mood.
  • Use a soft washcloth: Wet it with warm water and Mustela shampoo, gently lathe it, and cleanse your baby's hair.
  • Rinse thoroughly: Rinse your baby's hair with warm water using a cup or pitcher to avoid getting water in their eyes.
  • Wrap up with a soft towel: To avoid rubbing, pat your baby's hair dry with a soft towel.

With Mustela's gentle hair care products and a little love, you can keep your baby's hair healthy, happy, and ready for their next big adventure.
