Moms everywhere scour the internet searching for hair care tips, products, and best practices when it comes to baby and toddler hair care. It's natural to want your baby to be cared for from head to toe and in the best way possible.
We understand and couldn't agree more. So, we have compiled a quick list of 3 things that must be a part of your baby's hair care routine.
Tip 1- Bath time Does Not Always Have To Mean A Hair Wash
The urge to wash your baby's hair every time they have a bath will naturally start to wane, especially as they grow. Their hairstyle requires less direct daily mange (i.e., cornrows or similar), but in the meantime, yes, they are cute, and no, they typically do not need their hair washed every day. Yet, when it comes to wash day, use gentle, preferably natural baby hair care products to give your child's hair the best advantage. We recommend washing their hair 2-3 times a week.
Tip 2- Choose Hair Products That Accommodate Your Baby's Hair Type
This is extremely important. Your child's hair shafts are delicate, and their strands have a unique pattern. Infants and toddlers who have curlier textures require less moisture and careful detangling. While the ones with coarse textures need adequate moisture because the rate at which their hair retains moisture can vary which can lead to breakage and dryness. After washing and moisturizing the hair choose gentle styling like a wash n go or twist out or cute curly fro. Low tension styles are great for infants and toddlers as their head and scalp is very delicate at this stage and tight styling can affect hair growth as they age. Knowing your child's hair type is essential in choosing a product that best applies. In some cases, there are products like NyRose Naturals that provide a balanced product that can adequately moisturize, protect and hydrate all hair types.
Tip 3- Protect Their Tresses
This is a critical component of any hair care routine. Clean, moisturized hair needs a little bubble of protection, especially for bedtime. Satin, like the material of the NyaRose Satin Reversible Baby Bonnet, is healthy hair's best friend. It helps retain moisture, which reduces breakage and helps to promote healthy growth.
Achieving a healthy baby hair care routine doesn't have to be intimidating when you have great baby hair care products. Choose a simple and convenient routine that you can be consistent with and watch your baby's hair thrive.

]]>Scalp irritation is a nuisance. Adults can barely tolerate it, so we can easily understand how a parent can cringe at the sight and the thought of discomfort their baby may be experiencing as a result of cradle cap or a dry hair and scalp condition.
They have at least one common characteristic: flaky skin. There are a few things that differ between the two conditions.
Dry Scalp
It is precisely what it sounds like: dry, flaky skin on their delicate scalp. It's extremely common and should be a reason to sound the alarm. A few factors that cause dry scalp in infants and babies include:
Signs include a dry, flaky scalp, slight inflammation, and discomfort. If you see these signs on your baby follow these simple steps. Try not to wash your baby's hair every time you bathe them. Be sure to hydrate and moisturize their scalp using natural products preferably a liquid leave in product and light oil moisturizer. Do scalp massages frequently and always protect their hair with a satin bonnet. Choose products that are suitable for the texture of your child's hair looser textures require light products (styling mousse, light oils) thicker texture require heavier products ( creams, heavy oils).
Cradle Cap
Consider it the not-so-friendly twin to a dry scalp. At its core, the condition is the same, but it's a step further. Unlike a dry scalp, the cradle cap may be much thicker and accompanied by oiler sections on the scalp where present.
It typically stems from the overproduction of the natural oils of the scalp. The condition is common, and nearly 70% of infants experience it before three months.
While unsightly, it's surprisingly less, if any at all, likely to cause discomfort for your baby.
You can also grab our cap the cradle hair kit and follow these 3 simple steps repeatedly until the cradle cap has disappeared. Step 1- saturate the hair with light oils, this will help to lift the scales from the scalp due to cradle cap. Step 2- use our cap the cradle brush in a gentle massage motion to help lift the scales gently. Use a gentle mild shampoo to wash the hair. Step 3- Use a liquid leave in hydration conditioner to help refresh snd repair the scalp from lifting the scales. Repeat as necessary at least 3 times a week until resolved. Use a satin bonnet to protect the hair at night.
However, if present for a prolonged period, you may consult with your child's healthcare provider.

]]>Hair is meant to be taken care of and handled with care. This includes styling practices. While it's tempting to forget that although your tiny human feels like your own life sized doll, they aren't. This means it's not ideal to style their hair multiple times a day and in over stressful hairstyles.
In fact, less is best for younger children under the age of five! Here are three quick, low-tension hairstyles for your little one.
Simple Cornrows With Beads
This is one of the classic styles that always gets the job done. While it may take a little time on the front end (depending on the number and size of cornrows), it pays off on the back end. Cornrows are perfect for protective styling because they last at least three weeks and do not require daily management. Moisturize with NyRose Hair Oil Moisturizer and cover with your NyRose Satin Reversible Baby Bonnet at night. Wake up in the morning and go.
Baby Fro
Mamas everywhere love this style! It's great, especially in the younger ages, moisturize, slightly detangle as needed, and go. It's one of the best because there's virtually no tension, simple and can be dolled up with a small barrette for added cuteness.
Cornrows Or Flat Twists into Buns
Simple, cute, and chic. This style brings us back to those cornrow days. They are a staple and always present a polished look. Give your baby’s braided look a soft finish by winding the ends into a bun. Perfect for protecting ends from the elements and changing up their look just a little. You can easily substitute cornrows for flat twists.
Low-tension styles go hand in hand with proper hair care regarding healthy and thriving hair. Start with a healthy scalp using NyRose Naturals hair products, and watch your baby's hair thrive!]]>When Beyoncé began showing peeps of Blu Ivy, many people had input on her physical appearance. The most notable conversation topic was her hair. It was often restraint-free, typically in her natural fro. The commentary was rampant about what 'she needs to have done' referencing her daughter's hair.
Fast forward to today, Blu Ivy's hair is a picture of health and thrives in every new photo. Beyoncé recognized a couple of things that can help you manage a healthy head of hair for your infant or toddler.
Infant Hair Care
It's important to remember that an infant's emerging hair has a much finer and softer texture, resembling silk. Considering this, you must handle it accordingly. During these times, the primary need for your infant's hair is to maintain clean hair. that's hydrated and moisturized. Using a delicate product to gently cleanse and moisturize their tiny scalps without skin irritation can help keep them on their healthy hair care journey. Our Leave In hydration spray is great for this it has aloe vera in it which is very gentle on the skin and scalp and helps to repair and refreshes the scalp to promote healthy hair growth from the root.
Toddler Hair Care
As your child grows older and their hair texture begins to change, their hair needs will also. Cleanliness is required consistently across the various stages of hair growth and texture changes. Observe your child's hair growth and adjust their hair care where needed.
For Example; Infant and toddler hair shares some values in terms of ensuring healthy, manageable hair, proper cleaning, and using a product that cleans and nourishes the scalp. However, it's also essential to know that each stage has different requirements. In regards to hair care tools, infants may only require a soft bristle brush at the beginning, while a toddler can stand a sturdier styling comb, of course, utilized with care. When it comes to styling the hair infants and toddlers can let their hair be free with wearing a cute headband or bow but toddlers can start getting ponytail or braid styles depending on their hairs health. be sure when styling to always choose low tension hairstyles.
The best overall approach is to utilize quality hair care products like NyRose Naturals for gentle, and delicate hair care.
One of the most rewarding items in the Hair Care Bundle is the “Cap the Cradle” brush because it has multiple purposes. It’s not only amazing for curbing your child’s cradle cap but us adults can also benefit from using it as well.
]]>All of the products are amazing and has their unique benefits but the “Cap the Cradle” brush is really amazing. It’s not only amazing for curbing your child’s cradle cap but us adults can also benefit from using it as well.
Incorporating a cradle cap brush into you and your child’s hair care routine has major benefits. The first, of course, is that it helps alleviate cradle cap symptoms from your baby’s scalp. But, what is Cradle Cap? Well, Cradle cap occurs when thick, white, yellow, crusty or oily patches are formed on your baby’s scalp. But don’t worry, it is not itchy or painful but can be hard to remove and, at its worst, can look very unpleasant. The best way to clear this up in the most gentle and healthy way is to use a soft bristle brush, mild shampoo, or a hydration spray followed by natural oils. My daughter’s cradle cap is the reason why I wanted to incorporate a soft bristle brush in the Hair & Scalp bundle.
Regular use of our Cap the Cradle Brush helps to lift and exfoliate dead skin from the scalp stimulating hair and scalp health. When used, the brush works to increase blood flow throughout the scalp which further introduces oxygen and nutrients to the scalp. Which is why I say that even adults can benefit from incorporating a soft bristle brush into their hair care routine. What I like to do is use it throughout my wash routine. While shampooing my hair, I will apply the bristles of the brush directly to my scalp and work it in quick circular motions. I do the same in my daughter Nylah-Rose hair too, it is a very gentle and soothing experience for her and encourages major growth. Remember healthy hair starts with a clean and healthy scalp.
Happy Healthy Hair Growing!
