Anyone one know a good treatment for dry scalp on a toddler?

Question

I'd like something natural to use as most treatments seem very harsh!

Answer 1

ask the pediatrician before using any remedy you learn about online. the child needs a diagnosis in order to be treated.

Answer 2

Absolutely, my kids and i have eczema so we deal with dry scalp all the time. Coconut oil is the best thing or olive oil. Their not heavy feeling and provide vitamins and norishment as well as make the hair shinier and healthyier lookng. u can find either one at any store in the hair care isle, walgreens , Kmart , etc.

Answer 3

very very simple. If you bath him in tap water from the showers or drain , the water is contaminated with chlorine and other minerals that irritate the skin. It makes your hair crunchy, dry, etc. skin dry and peel.Yes, normal water from the drain does that to you. also, when you take a shower in hot steamy water you absorb all of the chlorine and damage your vein and arteries. swimming in pools too. Why? chlorine. solution= a water filter; or a showerhead that has a filter built in. your skin will also improve. other products and shampoos just hide the symptom without curing it.

Answer 4

Jojoba Oil, or MiraCell-both natural, and both readily available. They will work great, no matter what you choose. You can find Jojoba oil just about anywhere-perticularly in health food stores, or vitamin stores. Miracell can be ordered online from their site or you can find it in just about every drug store-Eckerds, Wal-Mart, Walgreens. It worked for me.
