Products We Love: Caring For Your Little One's Locks

When it comes to caring for our childrens' hair, we all want to use the finest shampoos, conditioners and stylers, ever. However, it's easy to get intimidated by the sheer number of products on the shelves—hair brands have definitely taken advantage of the baby boom! We're here to make your job easier! Check product labels, and avoid anything containing parabens (they have mild estrogen-like qualities and could possibly cause breast cancer), silicons, petroleum, mineral oil, synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and phthalates (they might be linked to precocious puberty in girls). Take a look at our faves!
