My boys love bath time, as most kids do. I put it down to all the splashing, the bath toys, the bubbles, sitting there naked and carefree, but mention hair washing day and the dynamics completely change. There's moods, there's tears, there's standing in the bath that eventually leads to slipping in the bath that leads to even more tears.
I've tried and tested all sorts of lotions and potions that claim to stop babies eyes from 'shampoo sting', super-duper mild formulas, organic concoctions (I don't know why but the word organic made me feel like these would definitely calm my boys) washing cups designed to stop water pouring in their eyes (they saw me coming!!) But twice a week, like Groundhog Day, we go through the same struggle for clean hair. And as a beauty editor, you can understand why shiny locks is an absolute necessity for a member of my family not just a chore. Who said boys shouldn't have lustrous hair too?
I was recently introduced to a new baby range Boo Boo Baby (boobooshop.com) and as a complete sucker for gorgeous packaging (all products are wrapped in gorgeous tissue paper and sealed with a Boo Boo bunny sticker) I thought I'd give their baby Very Gentle Top-to-Toe Wash, £6.99 a try. I have to admit it didn't stop the tears or the screams but their hair was squeaky clean and there was no nasty residue which meant no need for a sneaky throw of water (so a few less tears..ish) and no tangles either plus it didn't leave their skin dry and tight like some other baby bath products.
Best bit though was the bathroom smelt great too, which I'm sure you'll agree, dare I admit it, is even more important than having dirt-free toddlers.
