Dry scalp 😩

Morgan • hubby + daughter ♥️

My baby girl has severe dry scalp! I’ve tried coconut oil and olive oil and have seen no change. Her baby hair that’s still on top and super long seems to be thinning because it’s so freaking dry.

Has anyone had any success with mustela shampoo or head and shoulders? My ped suggested both of those to try and get rid of it. (It’s a mix of cradle cap and dry scalp)

I know its hard

to see in this picture but it’s just super scaly.

Thank you!!

I haven't had much luck with mustela, but maybe I'm not using it as frequently as I should. My daughter's scalp is also dry and shes still battling cradle cap. Let me know how it works for you!

My doctor prescribed some cream - actually it was zeroveen and oatmeal cream worked a treat and we are finally getting some hair

I used sage shampoo by maple holistics (bought on amazon) on my LO. I would lather it, brush it in with a soft brush to try to get the flakes off, and left it in for a few minutes before rinsing it out. I think that leaving it in for a few minutes helps regardless of what you use. I did this when she was a newborn, and I know that waiting may be more challenging with older babies. I was also so afraid that it might get in her eyes. Did it about twice a week, used our regular jack n Jill baby wash on her hair other days and I combed out the flakes daily. This shampoo doesn’t smell great but it’swhat worked for us. Hope this helps!

Mustela is the absolute best for cradle cap. Clears it right up. I still use it on my almost 3 year old and his scalp has been healthy since he was tiny.

Perfect!! She’s 7 months so I’m hoping if I can clear up the dry skin her hair will be ok since it “shouldn’t” fall out anymore but I’ll start mustela tonight!!
