It was a struggle, but I started encouraging her to "be a fish" so she makes her fish noise, and kicks her "tail" and I float her around a bit while I'm rinsing. It works for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822373 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:55:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1822373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just pour giant cups of water on their head until all the shampoo is out. Their faces get soaked but they don't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822349 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:39:16 +0000 Anagram 1822349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 13 months and has never minded water on her head and face. As soon as she could sit up, we started just rinsing with a pitcher of water and we don't take particular care to avoid her face and she doesn't mind at all.</p> <p>She loves the water in general though. She still only crawls but at spray parks she crawls right up to the spray fountains and puts her face right in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822347 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:38:17 +0000 tysonja 1822347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lay him on his back in the tub and support his head/neck/shoulders with one hand and rub furiously with the other. DH is better at this because he's a lot stronger and has bigger hands! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822343 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:35:44 +0000 Tanjowen 1822343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: hahah.</p> <p>My LO is 8 months old, and I I lay him onto his back in the tub and pour water over his hair with a cup. He enjoys it because he kicks and makes a huge mess splashing everywhere, and I make sure to do it fast and sit him back up to play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822328 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 19:24:06 +0000 rattles 1822328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With lots of squirming and some yelling? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822256 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:48:32 +0000 sandy 1822256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: we have one of those flexible pitchers and used that to rinse her hair. Then she started swim lessons a few months ago and learned how to do a back float. Now I just ask her to do a back float in the tub and so she's basically laying down with most of her hair in the water so it's easy to rinse and I use the pitcher to rinse the rest of the shampoo out of her hair close to her scalp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822215 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:22:18 +0000 yoursilverlining 1822215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell her to lean her head back and pour a couple of pitchers over her head so it doesn't go on her face. I rinse the back, underneath and sides of her hair first as she's not a fan of hair rinsing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822202 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:16:36 +0000 loveisstrange 1822202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I roll up a damp washcloth and hold it on her forehead to block water while I pour a pitcher over her head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822197 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:15:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1822197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS: I put my hand over his forehead to protect his eyes, and pour water over his head.</p> <p>DD: I tell her to lean back so her head is underneath the spout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822095 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:57:08 +0000 chopsuey 1822095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just pour cups of water over their heads, pause after 2-3 cups, then do a couple more. They don't mind it. Dd actually does it herself most of the time. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822025 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:06:55 +0000 autumnlove 1822025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shower head </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1822022 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:04:45 +0000 dolphin 1822022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a visor and shower head. She hated it at first but now she doesn't mind it. </p> [attach=3218/14/nait7x.300x300.lil-rinser-purple-lifestyle.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1821387 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 11:38:49 +0000 Weagle 1821387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dump a cup full of water on her head. She's finally learned to "look at the sky" when we do it so it doesn't get in her eyes, but sometimes she forgets. She still has pretty thin hair, so it really doesn't take long to rinse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1821382 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 11:37:21 +0000 Smurfette 1821382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put my hand on the top of her forehead. Tell her to lean her head back, which 99% she won't, and pour the water over her hair. I have to do it a couple times to get it all out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-washrinse-los-hair#post-1821380 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 11:35:52 +0000 mrsjyw 1821380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has a ton of hair. He's had it since birth and we had no issues washing it when he was in an inclined infant tub. But since we moved to the big tub, we've gone through several phases of him hating the rinsing part of bath time. A month ago we switched to using the shower head instead of pouring cups of water and it's usually gone over well. He just closes his eyes and rubs them sometimes. </p> <p>I think swim class has helped too, but it's still his least fave part of bath time. </p>
