First I put baby oil on his scalp and let sit for a few minutes then I used a fine tooth baby comb to comb out some of the flakes. Then I got some olive oil and massaged it in his scalp and let that sit for a while before combing again. Aftet all that I put Vaseline on the scalp and let sit for about an hour before bath time. Once in the bath I wet the hair and applied baby shampoo and combed through his hair and just let it sit while i bathed him. After i was done bathing him I took a soft bristle brush and brushed his hair thoroughly before rinsing ( may have to wash a few time to get all the Vaseline out.) And btw none of his hair has fallen out and he his 7 weeks old.
