Simplicity is best: Babies' hair requires very little extra attention other than normal bathing activity every 2-3 days. Simple water, with a little gentle baby soap or dove soap is more than adequate. For children with cradle cap that is causing hair to break off, there are some simple cures, such as baby oil. For more advanced treatments, consult your pediatrician.

"babywash" liquid: Liquid "babywash" or liquid "baby shampoo" can be used a couple of times a week during the bathing, to wash the hair. Remember that washing a baby too long or too often will make him too dry, and prone to more dry skin rashes.
