Hi Ash,

I've found that 'Neutrogena" T/Gel ( dry hair) works a treat for that.

You used to get special combs that helped as well..worth asking!:)

Love Karia x

Smother it in Vaseline and when well soaked in lift it with a nit comb. Worked a treat on our bairns.

Hi Ash

When my little girl had it quite bad, I used dentinox, I don't know if it is supposed to get rid of it but it certainly stopped it from getting any worse. If I were you I would certainly avoid Johnsons shampoo like the plague, it was that that triggered the cradle cap off in my wee one.

Spot on - exactly what we did with our 3 year old lassie. It's hellish stuff to get out of their hair eventually but was worth it.

my little girl was the same and she's 5 now but I'm allergic to sodium lauryl sulphate (check shampoo - they almost all contain it) - managed to find shampoo and conditioner set for £8.99 on www.theremustbeabetterway.com and my skin and her cradle cap and almost cured.....!! I read about it on the internet and it said that sls are one of the most common causes of these two things and also psorisis (sp.)

Hi there

Aubrey Organics - they had ranges for all different kinds of hair - I got the one for normal hair and its great.......her hair is prone to being a bit fluffy and even that has got better :D

if you are avoiding sls try horns and halos you can get it in tescos its not that expensive either £3 i think not much more than that anyway!
