Summer Hair Starts at the Cradle: Baby Hair Care Basics

Your baby’s scalp is naturally sensitive, and summer heat can cause extra dryness. Use a gentle, natural oil or baby-safe hair butter to lightly moisturize the scalp 2–3 times a week.

Focus on ingredients like:

• Coconut oil (in small amounts)
• Calendula or chamomile-infused oils
• Shea butter whipped with a little aloe vera

Hot Tip: Always do a patch test and talk to your pediatrician before trying new products!

Summer schedules may be unpredictable, but one thing stays the same: sleep = growth. And what’s rubbing against your baby’s head while they sleep? Usually cotton sheets or blankets that cause friction.

Try This:

• Lay a satin liner in the car seat or crib (when safe).
• Pop on a Kraddle Kare satin bonnet after bath time to lock in moisture.
• Use a soft, satin pillowcase under baby’s head during supervised play.

Think of it like giving your baby’s hair a break while they take theirs.

After a warm summer day, a quick rinse or bath helps keep the scalp clean and fresh. Use a fragrance-free baby shampoo once or twice a week (not daily!), and follow with a gentle scalp massage using your fingertips—not nails.

Think of it as a spa day in a onesie.
