Dandruff Remedies for Toddlers

While dandruff in toddlers is not common, it might be the reason your toddler suffers from an itchy, flaky scalp. Dandruff isn't contagious, but it is uncomfortable, and parents should act quickly to rid their child of the irritation. You should seek a doctor's assistance if your child is struggling with persistent dandruff, but most cases can be dealt with at home.

  1. Brushing

    • Brush the child's hair thoroughly before washing to loosen the dandruff. Use a mild shampoo to remove the excess flakes.

    Irritating Products

    • Avoid using greasy and oily conditioners and lotions on your child's hair. These can make the dandruff worse.

    Stress

    • Stress can cause dandruff. Ensure your toddler isn't getting frequently upset or distressed.

    Dandruff Shampoo

    • In more severe cases, you can use a shampoo specifically designed for dandruff. Ask your local pharmacist for recommendations.

    Rinsing

    • Rinsing your toddler's hair regularly with warm water can help to flush out the itchy excess flakes.
