Baby hair oil for a dry, flaky scalp and new curls

For a newborn or baby with a dry, flaky scalp and fine new curls, the Cristina's Curls Nourishing Baby Hair and Scalp Oil is gentle care for the scalp: a few drops, warmed in your palms and massaged in before or after the bath.

Baby curls start at the scalp. In the first year a scalp can dry out and flake fast, and fine new hair loses moisture easily. This oil blends blackberry seed, avocado and rice bran oils with rosemary and olive leaf extracts. Avocado oil nourishes a dry scalp and rice bran oil leaves a light sheen on curls. On flaky days, a few drops before the bath soften flakes so they lift away in the wash. It's the oil in Courtney's cradle cap routine.

It works on waves, curls and coils, including biracial babies' hair. Two or three drops is enough for most babies. Courtney Smith, a mom and licensed esthetician, made the line for her daughter, Cristina, and more than 70,000 families now use it. For the full bath, pair it with the Nourishing Baby Wash and Shampoo and the Nourishing Baby Conditioner.

Things Parents Should Know

Can I use it on my newborn?

Yes. The Nourishing Baby line is made for newborns and up, for the first year when there's barely any hair and the scalp needs the most care. Start with two or three drops, and patch test first, as with any new product.

Can I use it on a baby with cradle cap?

Yes. It's the oil in Courtney's cradle cap routine: a few drops 15 minutes before the bath soften the flakes, a soft brush loosens them, then the wash lifts them away. No scraping or picking. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes cradle cap is common and usually clears on its own. Check with your pediatrician if it spreads or looks red, and patch test any new product first.

How often should I use it?

Use it daily or as needed. Most parents add a few drops after the bath to keep the scalp nourished, and oil before the bath on dry, flaky days. Two or three drops is plenty for a baby scalp.

Will it work on my baby's hair type?

Yes. It's made for waves, curls and coils, including biracial babies' hair and fine new curls that dry out fast. A few drops leave a light sheen without a greasy feel.

Does it have fragrance?

No synthetic fragrance. What you smell comes from the plant oils and extracts in the formula, and every ingredient is listed on this page.

Is it HSA or FSA eligible?

Yes. The Nourishing Baby Hair and Scalp Oil is HSA and FSA eligible through Truemed at checkout, so you can pay with the pre-tax dollars in your health spending account.

What if it doesn't work for my child?

The product leaves baby's hair looking and feeling good, however I do not like the way it makes her hair smell. Thats why I gave it 4/5 stars.

Nourishing Baby Hair and Scalp Oil

It arrived on time. Every step of the way, the shop app showed me where it was until it got to my home

Nourishing Baby Hair and Scalp Oil

This oil is amazing. I bought this for my daughter’s curls and because had some mild cradle cap. I started using the oil daily to moisturize her scalp and use it after wash day to seal the moisture. Her cradle cap is gone and it does keep her curls nice and moisturized. It does have a slight scent but iI live it because it smells good. I love that it comes with the applicator cap so its easier for us.

Hair & Scalp Oil

I’m absolutely in love with Christina’s Curls! I started with the shampoo, conditioner, and oil bundle for my baby girl and saw results immediately—so much so that I went back and ordered the baby shower bundle. These products are truly amazing and definitely worth it!

Customer photo review of Scalp Oil

love love love!!! this oil grew my baby girls hair so much, and smells very nice. would definitely recommend this product.

Scalp Oil

I use this when my son just washes his hair and in the week on his scalp to help keep his scalp moisturized. I see results instantly on the hair and scalp. It seems to just tame his hair beautifully and help give it such wonderful shine.

Scalp Oil

I am very pleased with the oil. It has helped so much with my daughters bald spot she had on the back of her head. She was a constant head rubber on her bed and it made her hair so thin across the back. I put this on her hair every other day and it has worked wonders. The hair is back and thick, that was a big plus :). If you like the smell of natural oils then you will enjoy it. It is very subtle/earthy which I like a lot. I still use it to keep her scalp healthy and have noticed that her cradle cap has healed and has not returned. Gives off a great shine as well.

Customer photo review of Scalp Oil

Just started using this on my 2 month baby girl and so far so good. I use it in combination with a natural hair cream for her. I thought I saw in the front of her head a change in her skin so I have been using this and it's clearing up. No cradle cap for my baby stopped it before hand. Thanks Cristina Curls!

Customer photo review of Scalp Oil

This is the truth right here!!! My daughter started losing some of her hair due to cradle cap. I saw ads on Facebook and Instagram. So I decided to give it a try. My daughter hair started growing in not even a month! I will forever be a customer.
