Keeping your baby clean, healthy and happy in those first few years can be daunting for new parents.
Regular hair brushing helps to tick all three of those boxes. If you've not thought about baby hair hygiene, don't fret, and simply start by investing in a hair brush with soft bristles or a bath proof baby comb.
There is no set age to start brushing your baby's hair, but consistent hair brushing helps to remove the build up of cradle cap. That is why we have carefully selected the top 14 baby hair brushes to make grooming as stress-free as possible.
