Why adult shampoos are not suitable for children

Did you know that adult shampoos are terrible for children’s hair?

Not many people are aware that adult shampoos and conditioners can damage your child’s hair – they don’t really think about it.

It’s now time to think about it! Not only for your child’s hair but your child’s overall health. And it’s not only about shampoos for ‘no more tears’.

Here’s why you should avoid adult shampoo for your kids…

A child's skin and scalp produces almost six times less oil on a daily basis than an adults.
Children can be particularly sensitive to synthetic perfumes, colours and preservatives.
Adult hair products often contain heavy film-forming conditioners and aggressive surfactants. These maybe harmful on a child's sensitive skin.

Children don’t produce enough oil until they are teenagers. Why is this important? Adult shampoo is designed to strip the oils from adult hair using chemicals. This makes them too harsh for hair that lacks oils. Adult hair products are not suitable for your child’s young MopTop!
