Just thought I'd let you in on something for you to think about in the near future.
Don't think that baby shampoo is toxic or anything. I don't want to scare you at all. I just wanted to educate you about the pH balance of shampoos.
All shampoos that are great for hair have a pH balance average of 7.0. This means it isn't too acidic or has too much alkaline in the chemistry of it. Any shampoo that is pH balanced within the store brands to the professionals is considered great to use on your hair.
Baby Shampoo is pH balanced for your child's eyes and they are only good for the tear ducts. This means they are high in alkaline. You will notice after using baby shampoos for a while, your child's hair (particularly noticable on girl's longer hair) will start to look lifeless. All this means is as soon as you and your child are ready, switch to a shampoo that is pH balanced for the hair and not the tear ducts. Their hair will start to look better, I'm sure. And now, you know.
