Scrub a Dub Dub

Haircare products made especially with your little ones in mind

Kids and cleanliness don't really go together. They're more so repelling forces in the world. Bath time is a hindrance to further fort building in the living room or to making sweet bike jumps off dirt piles in the backyard.

That's why bathing has to be fun and full of bubbles. Appeal to kids' senses (cartoon characters help) while you appeal to yours, literally, with yummy scents and tear-free formulas.

Dinosaurs Take Baths, Too
What better way to convince your little ones to suds up than to use a shampoo with Rex, the Tyrannosaurus rex from the movie Toy Story, as its mascot? Rex's Rip Roarin' Rapple Shampoo by L'Oreal is as fun to use as it is to say aloud. Plus, it promises an extra gentle formula, despite its tough name.

No More Troublesome Tangles
Combing one's hair should not be a traumatizing experience. Babo Botanicals Berry Primrose Instantly Smooth Detangler uses a lightweight leave-in conditioner to moisturize your little one's strands, allowing faster detangling for fuss-free brushing. Plus, you can use it in the morning to refresh bed head! No more crazy kindergarten hair!

Style is Everything
Sometimes, kids' hair can be as hyper as they are, running in every which way and resisting all temptation to just lie down for a moment. While you can't freeze your child, you can put the hold on his or her hair with Valérie Vanilla Freeze Hairspray by Circle of Friends. Each product in Circle of Friends comes with its own adorable character, and on this particular one, Valérie, who is from "the Canadian Mounties and pristine alpine forests," promises to hold hair in place with a botanical mixture of papaya, pear and grapefruit.

Sunny Days are Here Again
Getting your kid to take a bath is a challenge, but peeling them away from a swimming pool during the summer is virtually impossible. Go figure. While they're soaking up the rays learning how to doggie paddle, you can protect their hair from sun damage with Fairy Tales CoCo Cabana Leave-In Sun Spray. With its combination of coconut oil, jojoba and banana extract (yum!), it'll leave hair moisturized and smelling like tropical goodness.
