Starting around age 4, the child accepted its light floral greenery scent and practiced washing with foam from just half a pump. Verdict: A gentle way to ease into independent hair washing. ## Good to know - **Recommended starting age**: From around age 4, based on the writer's research - **Plant-derived ingredients**: 97% or more, according to the brand - **Vegan certification**: French EVE Vegan certification, according to the brand - **Scent**: Floral greenery *Prices as written by the tester on Mar 31, 2024 · not updated automatically* ![Plivemi Vegan Kids Shampoo main image](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-01-qus8j-1200.webp) One day, I looked at my child and thought that, now at five, he really felt like such a big boy. He had become more mature since starting kindergarten, and I thought it was time to make changes not only to his daily habits but also to suit his growth. To mark turning five, we decided that instead of washing with an all-in-one product as we had until now, we would use body wash and shampoo separately. Along with PLEVE Vegan Kids Shampoo, which I chose as my child's first shampoo, let's look at what age is appropriate for starting children's shampoo. ## When should children start using shampoo? ![Guide to when to start using children's shampoo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-02-14u1z-900.webp) ### Starting from around age 4 From newbornhood until before age four, most children use an all-in-one baby wash. Since you wash their bodies for them and their hair is sparse and fine, washing everything at once is the usual approach. Then, at around age four, they grow into little kids: their sebaceous glands develop, and their hair becomes both fuller and thicker. So, in step with their growth, you begin separating body wash from shampoo. While using an all-in-one, I had wondered, Hmm, when do children start using separate wash products? I only learned the ideal age range after looking it up this time. ## Helping children wash their own hair ![Guide to children washing their own hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-03-ctc1c-900.webp) ![Children's hair-washing habit image](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-04-2tww8-900.webp) Whereas Mom used to wash, dry, and dress them for everything, at age four—around five years old—you need to teach them how and in what order to wash themselves. Doing it themselves helps so much with building confidence, self-esteem, and basic daily habits. Of course, most of the time they still whine and ask you to do it for them. Haha. So when I thought about the important points for starting independent hair washing, I concluded that it was better to choose a gentle product rather than a highly cleansing shampoo, since it should not sting their eyes too much, and to choose one without an overpowering scent. ## Start with a gentle, kind children's shampoo! ![Image about starting children's shampoo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-05-1igcw-900.webp) ![Image about toddler bath time](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-06-1sgo9-900.webp) As children move beyond the newborn and infant stages and settle into toddlerhood, they are relatively more active and spend more time outside. They sweat more and pick up more dust than you might think, so bath time needs even more care :D ## Why I chose PLEVE Vegan Kids Shampoo ![Plivemi Vegan Kids Shampoo product image](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-07-erh6z-900.webp) What I chose as my child's first shampoo was this Vegan Kids Shampoo, armed with gentleness. It is said to contain 97% or more plant-derived ingredients, which put my mind at ease. It has French EVE Vegan certification, a non-overwhelming floral greenery scent, and enough foam even with a small amount—which caught my eye because washing needs to be quick. ![Using kids shampoo foam](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-08-1osni-900.webp) Even without pressing one full pump, about half a pump produced plenty of foam. It made me happy to think, Oh, this will last a long time! You have to look closely before buying things for children, but sometimes the full-size amount is not as generous as expected, so you have to buy another one quickly. But being able to wash hair with just a small amount like this? Mom is satisfied with that alone~~~~!!! ![Using foam to wash a child's hair](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-09-1745v-900.webp) When washing children's hair, make a rich lather like this first, then apply it to the hair and wash gently. Of course, there are some trials and errors when a child does it themselves, but we need to take our time and guide them little by little. The scent spreads softly as the foam builds, so my child has no real resistance to it and is proudly using it as his own shampoo. The bottle itself is squishy and soft, so my child keeps reaching for it and even plays with it during bath time. ![Child's bath after weekend gardening](https://img.superchart.com/images/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash-10-14l9m-900.webp) These days we have started a weekend vegetable garden, so he comes home with even more dirt and dust all over his body and in every bit of his hair. He is always such a mess when he gets home 🥲 First he says, “Do it for me,” then, “Don't touch it”~~~ But after a few days, he became pretty good at lathering up and rinsing too. The day has come when he can do it himself—Mom is so happy♥ Children may refuse to wash their own hair or often whine for you to do it, but even so, we should not be shaken. We should cheer them on by telling them they can do it, and encourage an easy start with gentle, mild products they will like. ## Products - Plivemi Vegan Kids Shampoo — PLEVE --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@pebble-pocket-days/pleaveme-vegan-kids-shampoo-first-wash/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
