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.

We use a visor and shower head. She hated it at first but now she doesn't mind it.

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.

I roll up a damp washcloth and hold it on her forehead to block water while I pour a pitcher over her head.

@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.

@rattles: hahah.

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.

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.

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.

I tip her back, and pour a cup of water over her head until it's rinsed out. 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!
