While washing at bathtime is usually fine, it’s important to avoid washing your toddler’s hair every day as it can cause the hair to become dry and damaged. Instead, you should keep washings to once a week, as Jones says it may be too harsh for certain hair types and textures. “Toddler boy’s hair should be shampooed based on need and texture,” she says. “Once a week should be fine for most toddler boys.”
