This brush looks like it’s best used around bath time. So if you’re gently trying to remove some flakes with water involved, this would be a good choice.

Also, having three will ensure that one’s always clean. ” I purchased these on recommendation from a friend, and they have worked magic for us,” writes mom and Amazon Reviewer Kay. “I recommend using one about four or five times, and then discarding for another sponge.”

We love how durable, simple, and affordable Safety 1st products are, and this cradle cap comb and brush combo is a great example. At $4.99, the price is hard to beat, and the comb and brush are perfect to pair with the best cradle shampoos that you can find. We recommend using the brush first, to loosen the scales, followed by the comb, which pulls the scales out of the hair. And it’s all-in-one, so you’ll never lose one (at least without losing the other, too).

This is adorable cradle cap brush for infants will help you gently massage the flakes away.

My daughter currently has three of these, and as a parent, I admit I’ve stolen them on occasion.

And other moms agree — it currently has an 85% five-star rating on Amazon.

Your toddler may fall in love with this Minnie Mouse haircare set, which includes a brush and comb. Babies might not get into the character recognition just yet, but this may be all you need to inspire a young child to practice better grooming. Plus, who doesn’t love Minnie? Amazon reviewer Laura found that the soft bristles on the brush would also work for babies, even though she bought it for her 2-year-old granddaughter. “She isn’t fond of getting her long hair combed or brushed so I thought this set might encourage her,” she said. “The brush is very soft like a baby brush but for my purpose it was perfect.”

The TELETIES Beginner Bundle does double duty: First, it comes with a wide-tooth brush with a small enough handle for younger kiddos to use themselves (but big enough for you to use, too).

There’s also a handy carrying case to keep all these hair essentials in one place. P.S. you’ll probably want to stock up on more tiny ties.
