Re: Itching after helmet removal?

[Guest guest]

That's true. Some kids just pull their hair.

I bet she's cute. Is Sydney's hair oily or not. I have AA texture

hair, but I get seborrhea (aka cradle cap). When it flairs, my hair

makes oil. My son was getting a little cradle cap right before we

got the helmet. I was using dandruff shampoo for that. Now the

spots are gone, so I can slack up on that shampoo.
