What age do you stop using 'kid shampoo'?

Hi Ladies,
I use Aveeno shampoo on my littles ones but it is starting to cost me a fortune! I was wondering what shampoo/ conditioner you buy for your kids? At what age can they just use what me and my husband use?
Thanks :)

I used normal shampoo ( tesco own range apple) on mine from day one.
They don't need a special kids one

I think when they can cope with rinsing, reliably keep their heads back and it not go in their eyes. I used own brand “kids” ones until about 8, then, when they were showering independently after swimming, let them get on with adult shampoo.

Yeah I used a baby one for a couple of years with my first. I now have 3 kids and my 9 month old just gets whatever the others are using 😄 just normal radox or whatever we have...he seems just fine!

Kid shampoo is a money making scam.
I used “ normal” shampoo and conditioner from day one !

I used Kids ones as a bribe as they smelled nice, until they were about 5 ish i think

A hairdresser told me to use baby ones for as long as possible as it’s so much better for their hair. You can get cheaper kids ones.

When their hair got long enough it needed better conditioner - 3ish?
