While sulfates are effective at cleaning, SLS can be too harsh for strands and the scalp, causing excessive dryness and irritation that can lead to breakage. Toddlers are really good at getting gunk in their hair and struggle to sit still while caregivers try to manage the mess. To make it easier, Van Diest recommends making the process as fun as possible. Try singing songs together while you brush or letting them color while you work through their hair.
