Baby Hair Care That’s Gentle, Effective, and Easy to Use
Your newborn’s hair might be thick, thin, curly, or barely there, but whatever the texture or stage, it deserves gentle care made just for littles. At Tubby FTodd, we make baby hair products that cleanse, hydrate, and detangle without harsh ingredients or unnecessary steps.
From your baby’s first bath to combing toddler curls, our formulas are safe for newborns, dermatologist-tested, and plant-based. No sulfates, no parabens, and no mystery ingredients.
Hair care made for newborns (and busy parents)
Newborn and baby scalps are extra sensitive, and their hair needs are different from adults'. That’s why our products are designed to:
- Cleanse gently without stripping
- Moisturize scalp and hair
- Detangle with ease
- Rinse quickly and easily (because bath time is fast!)
Whether you’re looking to build a full routine or just need a gentle cleanser that your little one will love, we’ve got what you need.
Before you fill your cart, here’s a quick look at what other parents love most. These are our tried-and-true bestsellers, the ones that make bathtime smoother, brushing easier, and post-nap detangling a little less dramatic.
When it comes to baby and kids skin and haircare, we always suggest starting with the products that other parents keep coming back to. These formulas have earned their spot as customer favorites—thanks to their gentle ingredients, easy routines, and results you can actually see.

Real talk: every baby’s hair journey is different
Some babies are born with a full head of hair, while others take their sweet time sprouting strands. Some have cowlicks and curls, others have peach fuzz that shifts with the seasons. It’s all normal, and it all deserves gentle care.
One thing that stays the same? That soft spot. While your little one’s scalp is still developing, you want to make sure every product you use supports their skin. That’s why we leave out sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and anything overly drying. And we include plant-based moisturizing botanicals like aloe, cucumber, and coconut oil.
How to make baby haircare part of the routine
Baby hair care doesn’t have to be a big production. In fact, keeping it simple is the key to consistency:
- During bath time: Massage Hair + Body Wash into the scalp using your fingertips or a soft silicone brush. Rinse thoroughly.
- After the bath: Pat hair dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing, which can cause tangling or irritation.
- For tangles: Spritz Detangler onto damp or dry hair and use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently work through.
- On dry patches or flakes: Add a touch of All Over Ointment to calm skin and lock in moisture.
Keeping a caddy of essentials nearby—like your wash, brush, and towel—makes it easy to stay consistent (even on the nights you’re juggling bedtime chaos).
Bonus tips for happy hair days
No matter how much (or how little) hair your little one has, consistency is key. Try to stick to a gentle washing and brushing rhythm, use a soft-bristle brush or wide-tooth comb, and don’t be afraid to lean on leave-in detangler or conditioner for tricky spots. If your toddler is just starting to want more control during bath time, let them hold the bottle or help rinse, building confidence in their self-care routine starts small.
Dealing with cradle cap, dryness, or tangles? You’re not alone. Most babies and toddlers go through some version of each, and the best approach is patience, gentle products, and a bit of trial and error. Our Cradle Cap Bundle is a great support option for dry scalps or stubborn flakes.
Want to make things easier on the go? Keep a detangler or brush in your diaper bag, especially for travel or daycare pickups. Baby hair might be low-maintenance, but when you’re juggling naps, snacks, and bedtime, having a quick fix within reach or choosing the right shampoo for home can make all the difference.
Whether you’re managing curls, cradle cap, or just trying to keep your little one clean, we’re here to help make every wash (and every brush-through) a little more joyful.
