The hair on the baby's body is delicate and needs special care and protection. There are particular shampoos, hair oils, and conditioners prepared for the fragile hair follicles and head of the baby. The head of a baby is larger in proportion to the rest of the body, and may have less hair, which is reason enough to use the right hair clips, bows, and scarves for them. There are specifically designed clips for a baby's soft and delicate hair. Using something uncomfortable on a baby's hair might just make him/her irritable and cranky.

When dealing with the soft scalp of the baby only products suited for them should be used. There are many stores across the world which design unique baby clothes, accessories, as well as baby clips. Care has to be taken not to apply any sort of pressure at the centre of the baby's head, thus very loose and gentle hair clips must be chosen. These clips must be 'hair-friendly' and should help to keep the hair off the baby's face and keep it from getting tangled or matted.

Clips with sharp teeth, and edges must be avoided completely to avoid potential hair damage later for the baby. . The fuzzy hair on his/her scalp needs to be washed very cautiously. It is generally adviced to gently hold the baby in the bath in a reclining position. From the time an infant is born to a 12 months baby extra care and attention should be given to each and every aspect of the baby's body.
