Babies are bundles of joy, captivating us with their innocence and filling our lives with boundless love. From their cherubic smiles to their soft coos, every moment is a testament to the beauty of life. As parents, you strive to give them the best care possible, ensuring that every aspect of their well-being is nurtured. As your little one reaches different milestones, you eagerly anticipate their growth and development, and watching their hair grow is an exciting part of that journey. While genetics play a significant role in determining hair growth and thickness, there are some effective tips to help your baby's hair grow faster and thicker while promoting your baby's scalp health.

Gentle Love and Care:

Just as our love for our little ones knows no bounds, their tender hair deserves the utmost gentleness and care. Embrace the beauty of bath time and make it a bonding experience. When washing your baby's hair, use lukewarm water and mild baby shampoo specifically formulated for their delicate scalps. Massage their scalps with your fingertips, stimulating blood flow and promoting healthy hair growth. Avoid harsh chemicals or adult hair products that strip away natural oils and hinder hair growth.

Our Gentle Foaming Baby Shampoo provides a soothing and tear-free bathing experience. It is crafted with natural ingredients and is free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, and harsh chemicals. Made with oats-based cleanser and nourishing oils like coconut, almond, and olive, it moisturizes and conditions the hair, leaving it soft and manageable. It effectively cleanses the hair and scalp without stripping away natural oils, promoting healthy hair growth.

The natural oils nourish your baby’s delicate scalp and hair, helping hair grow thicker and faster. The gentle foaming formula ensures easy application, making bath time enjoyable for you and your baby. Remember, your touch carries immense power — gentleness and affection are the keys. 

Nutritional Magic:

A healthy diet forms the foundation for vibrant hair growth, even for our tiniest treasures. Include nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins in your baby's meals. Also, eggs, berries, spinach, and avocados contain nutrients that support hair growth, making them excellent additions to your baby's meals. Breast milk or formula milk provides essential nutrients while introducing solids with various vitamins and minerals, promoting hair growth.

Massage with Love:

Who can resist the comforting touch of a gentle massage? Not only does it foster a deep connection with your baby, but it also stimulates blood circulation to their scalp. Lightly massage your baby's head with your fingertips in circular motions. This relaxing ritual not only promotes hair growth but also calms your baby, fostering a bond that lasts a lifetime.

The Goodness of Natural Oils:

Nature has blessed us with various oils that work wonders for hair growth. Coconut oil, almond oil, and olive oil are the gentlest and most nourishing options for your baby's hair growth. Warm a small amount of oil in your hands and gently massage it into your baby’s scalp. You can also use CITTA’s Baby Massage Oil, which has the goodness of 12 natural oils that can keep your baby’s scalp healthy. These natural oils penetrate the hair shaft, moisturize and strengthen it from within while adding a beautiful shine to those tiny locks.

Soft Brushes, Tender Strokes:

Choosing the right brush for your baby's hair is crucial in maintaining its health and encouraging growth. Opt for a soft-bristled brush or a wide-toothed comb specifically designed for babies. Use gentle strokes, starting from the roots and working your way to the tips. This not only detangles their hair but also stimulates the scalp, promoting healthy growth.

Tender Tresses, Little Accessories:

Adorning your little one's hair with cute accessories can add a touch of magic to their appearance. Delicate hairbands, bows, or tiny clips make them look cute and help keep their hair tidy. Choose accessories made from soft materials to prevent any discomfort. Embrace the joy of styling, and treasure the moments when they allow you to embellish their tiny crowns.

Protecting Those Locks:

Just as we shield our children from harm, it's essential to protect their precious hair from damage. Avoid using harsh chemicals, heat styling tools, or tight hairstyles that can strain their delicate strands. Opt for natural hair care products that are gentle on their sensitive scalps. Let their hair breathe and flow freely, allowing nature to take its course while safeguarding their locks from unnecessary harm.

Shield from the Elements:

Just as you shelter your baby's heart from the harshness of the world, protect their hair from the elements. Be mindful of exposing them to direct sunlight for extended periods. Use a lightweight hat or a sunshade to protect your baby’s delicate scalp from harmful UV rays.

Shower Them with Love and Confidence:

Watching your baby grow and flourish is a profound joy that fills your heart with love and wonder. Promoting healthy hair growth in your baby requires a combination of proper nutrition, gentle care, and safe hair products. Remember to provide a nutrient-rich diet, massage the scalp regularly, and be gentle with hair care and styling.

CITTA's Gentle Foaming Shampoo is an excellent choice for maintaining your baby's hair health as it is designed to be gentle, nourishing, and free from harsh chemicals.

Embrace the precious moments spent caring for your little one's tresses as opportunities to deepen your bond and shower them with love. Remember, it's not just about the hair; it's about the love and connection that blossoms with every gentle touch and whispered lullaby.

    The Delicate Balance of Children's Skin: Why Adult Skincare Isn't Suitable

    Are you using your shampoo for your kids as well? Is it safe for your kids? Are you a parent struggling to find the right skincare products for your kids and teens? Many parents even switch to using adult products once their kids reach 6 years old due to this confusion. As parents, our children's well-being is paramount, and understanding the unique needs of their developing skin and hair is crucial. Their skin and hair differ significantly from adults, and using adult products can have adverse effects. Dr. Prajakta Bhokre, a seasoned pediatrician and neonatologist in Pune, emphasizes, “Children's skin and hair are delicate and require special care. Adult skincare and hair care products can disrupt the delicate balance and harm their developing systems." Kids' Skin: A Delicate Canvas To comprehend the importance of specialized care for children's skin, we must recognize the structural differences between their skin and adults'. A child's skin is thinner, more delicate, and has a higher surface area to body weight ratio than adults. Their skin's natural protective barrier, composed of lipids, is not fully developed, which means their skin is not as efficient at retaining moisture and is more susceptible to dehydration, irritation, and damage from environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollutants. Even the pH level of a child's skin is more acidic, which helps to ward off harmful bacteria and makes it more sensitive to changes and potential damage. Their hair is finer and less oily, resulting in a greater tendency for tangles and breakage. Why It's Unsafe for Kids to Use Adult Products? Adult skincare and hair care products often contain potent ingredients like parabens, sulphates, silicones, talc, and phthalates that may be too harsh for a child's delicate skin and hair. Ingredients like retinoids, salicylic acid, and strong fragrances can strip away natural oils, disrupt the skin's pH balance, and cause allergies, rashes, or even chemical burns in children. Moreover, many adult products are formulated to address age-specific concerns, such as wrinkles or acne, which are not relevant to children. Ideal Ingredients for Kids' Skincare and Hair Care For kids aged 5-10, it's important to choose products with gentle, natural ingredients. Ingredients like almond oil, olive oil, basil oil, rice protein, aloe vera, coconut oil, shea butter, turmeric oil, and oats are not only nourishing but also gentle on young skin and hair. “These ingredients hydrate, protect, soothe, and help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier, promoting healthy growth and making them perfect for nurturing young skin and hair,” says Dr. Bhokre The Importance of Age-Appropriate Products (0-10 years) It's essential to select age-appropriate products for kids. Dr. Bhokre further states that “Children aged 5-10 years should use products specifically designed for their age group, such as baby products ranging from 0-10 years. These products are formulated with the unique needs of growing children's skin and hair in mind, providing gentle care without harsh chemicals.” They contain milder ingredients, ensuring that kids' skin remains protected and nourished. pH Levels: A Precarious Balance A child's skin is more prone to pH level changes than an adult's. Their skin's pH is naturally more acidic at around 5.5, which acts as a barrier against harmful bacteria. Adult products can disrupt this delicate balance, leaving their skin vulnerable, further leading to dryness, itchiness,  infections, or even eczema. Structural Differences in Hair In addition to skin, a child's hair is structurally different from an adult's. Children's hair is finer, more fragile, less porous and lacks the oil-producing capabilities of adult hair. Adult hair products may strip their hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Ingredients to Avoid in Kids' Products “When selecting skincare and hair care products for kids, it's essential to avoid harsh chemicals like sulfates, talc, asbestos, silicones, mineral oils, parabens, and strong fragrances. These ingredients can irritate the skin and harm their overall health”, says Dr. Bhokre. Opt for products that are free from harmful additives to keep the child’s skin healthy while keeping them safe from the detrimental effects of these harmful chemicals. At CITTA we focus on using the highest quality natural ingredients while keeping harsh chemicals at bay. Our products are carefully formulated to cater to the unique needs of children's skin and hair. CITTA prioritizes safety and nourishment for kids' skin and our commitment to natural ingredients ensures that children can enjoy healthy, glowing skin without the risk of adverse reactions. While it may be tempting to use adult skincare and hair care products on your children, it's essential to consider their unique skin and hair needs. Opt for products specifically designed for kids, enriched with natural ingredients, and free from harsh chemicals. Our products promote healthy skin for children while emphasizing the importance of nourishment and safety in children's skincare routines. After all, our children deserve the very best, and that begins with caring for their delicate skin and hair with the utmost attention and care.

    Baby's Delicate Skin Deserves the Best: Choose the Perfect Skincare for your Bundle of Joy

    Dr Jagadish Dhekne (MD) is a distinguished Consulting Pediatrician in Pune. With an impressive track record, he served as Former President of the Maharashtra State Academy of Pediatrics in 2010 and Former President of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics Pune Branch from 2008 to 2009. He's also the Director of Unique Hospital for Children and Kartik Group of Hospitals in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune. Dr Dhekne is recognized as a Master Trainer for both the "Asthma Training Module" and "Problem-Solving in Paediatric Infectious Diseases (PSPID)" by IAP.  As you embark on this new adventure called parenting, keeping your bundle of joy cosy and well-fed becomes your top-most priority. You’d move mountains to ensure they’re showered with all the TLC in the world; you would go to any lengths to protect them. Apart from ensuring the right nutrition and shielding them from heat and cold, even delicate matters like choosing the right skincare for your ‘mini-me’ can become an uphill task. Their sensitive and delicate skin requires the utmost care. If you’re unsure about how to choose the best skincare products for your little munchkins, we’ve got you covered! Dr Jagadish Dhekne (MD), who is among the distinguished consulting pediatricians from Pune, is here to drop some wisdom on pampering that adorable epidermis and the dos and don'ts of skincare for babies. He also gives us a low-down on how to pick the safest baby skincare brands: Allergen-free formulations:  Opt for products that are free from harsh chemicals, strong fragrances, and dyes. Allergen-free formulations are designed to minimise the risk of adverse reactions and are gentler on your baby's skin. Avoid harmful ingredients:  “Avoid products that contain parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and artificial preservatives, as these chemicals can cause skin irritations and potential long-term health risks. Instead, choose products with natural Indian ingredients such as aloe vera, coconut oil, turmeric oil, and almond oil, known for their soothing properties,” says Dr Dhekne. Moisturisation is key: Babies are prone to dry skin, especially in certain weather conditions. Choose moisturising products specifically formulated for babies to keep their skin soft and hydrated. Read labels thoroughly: Take the time to read product labels carefully and pay attention to certifications such as ‘paediatrician-tested’ and ‘dermatologist-approved.’ These endorsements offer added assurance about the product's safety and efficacy. Minimalistic approach: Stick to the essentials for baby skincare, such as a gentle baby wash and moisturiser. Avoid overwhelming your baby’s skin with too many products. Consult a paediatric dermatologist: When in doubt, seek professional advice. Paediatricians can assess your baby’s skin type and recommend suitable products based on their needs. A dermatologist can also provide personalised guidance if your child has specific skin conditions like eczema or cradle cap. “The natural ingredients in babycare products help soothe and protect the delicate baby skin, leaving it soft, supple and healthy. Parents can witness improved skin conditions, reduced irritation and a noticeable difference in their baby's overall skin health after using natural and organic products,” adds Dr Dhekne. When it comes to baby skincare, it’s always better to exercise caution. You can embrace the benefits of natural care through CITTA’s dermatologist-approved and ‘conscious’ baby skincare products. The brand is committed to crafting products with natural ingredients while maintaining the highest safety and efficacy standards. CITTA’s baby skincare range comprises gentle and nourishing formulations enriched with plant extracts, essential oils, and botanical goodness.
