Hi can some one help me find a shampoo for my 4 year old. He hates his hair washed so nothing that will sting his eyes and make it worse. But he keeps getting eczema by his eyes and head made worse by shampoo. I’ve tried Johnson’s, sanex, and dove and the cheaper Tesco and Asda brands. He has very sensitive skin. Any help I would appreciate . Thank you in advance

QV wash from the chemist . No soap. I use it to wash the hair and his body.

Spent hundreds on my sons skin this is the only thing that works for him.

I don’t know what was actually wrong with my scalp as I didn’t have excema, psoriasis or dandruff.

What I did have was an itchy head that I can recall having even as a ten year old and whilst the urge to scratch was controlled during the day time, I was scratching my head in my sleep and sometimes making it sore.

I’ve bought various things since the 70s and nothing has worked longer than a day or two and I resigned myself to having an annoyingly itch head!

I think I had a reaction or allergy to a specific and unidentified ingredient.

Then I read about Balmonds scalp oil and have given it a go!

It has stopped all the itching completely in it’s tracks!

It’s brilliant and on offer at H&B at the moment.

Our DD has eczema and we use moogoo milk wash, shampoo and conditioner and it's helped her hugely. I now use it as I used to get a sore, itchy scalp but I don't anymore and it's great for curly hair.

I use oilatum bath emollient for the kids body wash and then either baby shampoo, child's farm or oilatum shampoo for their hair ( you can but a junior version).
