Incorporating Hair Care Into A Bedtime Routine For Kids
As a parent, incorporating hair care into your children’s bedtime routine can be a game-changer for maintaining healthy hair and ensuring a stress-free start to the day.
Establishing this habit promotes good hair health to your children. Here are some tips and tricks to seamlessly integrate hair care into your children’s nighttime routine.
Incorporating hair care into your children’s bedtime routine doesn’t have to be a chore. With these simple and effective tips, you can ensure that your children’s hair remains healthy.
Remember, a little care goes a long way, and starting these habits early sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy hair practices.
Start with a Gentle Brushing
- Before bedtime, gently brush your child’s hair to remove any tangles and knots. This not only makes the hair more manageable but also distributes natural oils from the scalp to the ends, promoting healthy hair growth. Use a soft-bristle brush or a wide-tooth comb to avoid causing any discomfort. I would recommend our Luxury Paddle Brush or our Luxury Wide Tooth Comb.
Hydrate with a Leave-In Conditioner
- Children’s hair can easily become dry, especially if they are active during the day. Applying a leave-in conditioner can provide the necessary hydration and prevent hair from becoming brittle. Look for products that are specifically designed for children’s delicate hair to avoid harsh chemicals.
Braid or Tie Hair Loosely
- To minimise tangling and breakage, loosely braid or tie your child’s hair before they go to bed. This not only keeps the hair tidy but also reduces the chances of morning bedhead. Make sure the braids or ties are not too tight to prevent any tension on the scalp.
Use a Silk or Satin Pillowcase
- Silk or satin pillowcases are gentle on the hair and help reduce friction, which can lead to tangling and breakage. Investing in a good quality pillowcase can make a significant difference in maintaining the health of your child’s hair.
Nightly Scalp Massage
- Incorporate a few minutes of scalp massage into the routine. This can be a relaxing way to end the day while stimulating blood flow to the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth.
Consistency is Key
- Like any routine, consistency is essential. Make hair care a non-negotiable part of the bedtime routine. Over time, it will become second nature to your children, and they will appreciate the benefits of having well-maintained hair.

Have you ever found yourself in a situationship that doesn’t serve you? You’re not sure why, you can’t quite put your finger on it, but deep down, something doesn’t feel right.

PETER SIDWELL’S HOMEMADE WAGONWHEELS & HOB-NOB STYLE BISCUITS
This month, I’m thrilled to share two of our all-time favourite bakes: our homemade Hob Nobs and nostalgic Wagon Wheels. These recipes are more than just sweet treats—they’re time capsules. The Hob Nobs came from a rainy weekend when we had oats, butter, and not much else in the cupboards. The kids loved rolling the dough into little biscuit balls and watching them flatten in the oven. Dipping them in chocolate was the final touch—well, that and licking the spoon clean!
