I went over it with a soft brush and let it sit. Then washed it out with shampoo and a comb to loosen some of her dry patches. He hair seemed wicked oily but her dry scalp drank it in overnight. Haven't had to do it since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363829 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 08:57:06 +0000 plantains 363829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: perfect. Thanks, I think my mistake has been putting stuff on after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363769 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 06:19:54 +0000 Mrs. Bum 363769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone.

Worked well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363729 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:26:24 +0000 mrsjazz 363729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I would do exactly what @pastemoo: wrote, I put the olive oil on her head about 10-15 minutes prior to her bath time and then use the brush and shampoo. I didn't put anything on afterwards. Her scalp looked gross for a bit, but that cleared it all up.</p> <p>I did use Selsun Blue as per my pediatrician's suggestion but I didn't like the thought of getting it in her eyes so I went the natural route.</p> <p>Once the cradle cap and dry patches went away, I started using a bit of coconut oil on her scalp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363723 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:59:31 +0000 Springtime 363723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used baby oil and then brushed it out with a comb </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363722 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:52:58 +0000 plantains 363722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: you put the olive oil on, work the flakes with a brush and then shampoo right? After washing though, do you put anything on LOs hair or do you just leave dry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363717 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:29:48 +0000 matador84 363717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Selsan blue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363716 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:27:53 +0000 mrsjazz 363716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. We used olive oil for LO's cradle cap and dry scalp. Worked wonders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363708 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:16:46 +0000 pastemoo 363708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Or baby oil. Let soak for 15-20 minutes, then wash out with baby soap/shampoo at bathtime and then backbrush to loosen the now softened scalp patches. (Cure for cradle cap) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dry-scalp#post-363659 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:20:14 +0000 Mrs. Bum 363659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard olive oil is good to rub on baby's scalp to help with dry skin. Does it work? Any advice? </p>
