Hi,
I always treated my kids with a gentle hand, so I am perplexed as to why they hate having me wash their hair. My kids are now 8 and 9 and still there is still very little change in how they feel about the dreaded shampoo! I've tried everything from soft washcloths covering their faces, letting them do it themselves, showers, baths....nothing seems to make a difference, there is almost always tears and hostility!
My solution was to just stop using shampoo. Well, almost stop, I do still wash their hair sometimes, about once every two months. My son's hair looks and smells just fine, he never seems to need a wash. My daughters hair does get greasy but she doesn't mind, it doesn't look that bad really, and I don't think that little kids need to look especially groomed anyhow!
