    Hi friends..

    My DD is 13 months old. As her pead. advice i have used DOVE soap for both body and head . Now i would like to use either shampoo or home based powder(like basin,Arappu ,...).

    She has very less hair and looks little browny. I want to improve her hair growth. Help me which one to choose.

    Mrssiva, massaging with coconut oil sure helps in hair growth. At least this is what I was told. I don't apply any oil for my baby though. I use Aveeno shampoo, it's working great so far.

    johnson and johnson head to toe baby wash is the best.

    Also,make sure to massage with coconut oil everyday.

    Also, did u shave her head after a year?usually, hair grows back thicker.

    @mrssiva This is what I follow for my DD:

    Johnson's shampoo for hair
    Weekly once oil bath with payatha maavu
    Apply coconut oil on the head at night (depending on weather and/or going out plans)

    I have been following this routine since DD turned 1. Now she has enough hair to put a small braid.

    Dear mrssiva,
    I use green gram powder instead of shampoo for my son (1.5 yrs old). It is very good. I make a paste out of that powder and apply on his hair and leave it for 2 mins. By that time, I wash his entire body and then finally wash out his hair.

    I usually do oil massage before doing this hair pack. This is very safe and you can give it a try.

    Regards,
    Viji
