You can start using a baby hair brush when you feel is the right time for your child. There's no specific age or month you should start brushing their hair. Ensure you use a baby hair brush made up of soft bristles that don't snag on tangles or pull the hair. A soft brush and comb are helpful for cradle cap, a condition that causes scaly skin on the scalp.
It is important to use a gentle touch and avoid pulling on the baby's hair. Parents can start by brushing their baby's hair with their fingers. A soft-bristle brush or a wide-toothed comb is helpful for untangling knots and removing cradle cap.
