I used to have a nightmare of a time with my youngest getting him to lie in the water. I have never done anything to scare him, and always been very gentle but it has always been a real chore to get any shampoo onto his hair and then get it washed back off again.

I was chatting to my sister about this as she had the same problem with my nephew, and she recommended this product to me as she has been using it on her son. The product is in a dispenser bottle, and the bottle is small enough for me to be able to hold the bottle in one hand and operate the pump with the same hand. I find that the foam has a slightly fruity smell, but is also quite a chemical smell. It certainly smells completely different to the baby shampoo by this brand, but has a similar soapy smell at the same time which I can sort of taste in my mouth when I smell it.

The foam is quite light, but dense enough to not run down my son's face into his eyes. I find even if I have only managed to wet his hair a little bit that I can rub it well into his hair leaving it feeling clean and smelling fresh. It also only requires a little bit of rinsing to get it all out again.

I find this works well on short hair. I haven't tried it on my own, as I suspect it will be less good on coarser adult hair, and longer hair.

I do not tend to use conditioners on my son's hair, and his hair is quite soft afterwards.

Overall, I find it is a well thought out product and a well designed bottle that just works so well. It says it is a no more tears formula, and I cannot comment on that as it works so well we have never got it into his eyes to smart. My other son uses this too sometimes, and he throws himself about into the water and never complains about it hurting. It is also good enough to deal with muck/sand in hair from digging outside, and from food like yoghurt and spaghetti bolognaise sauce which I cannot explain how it gets in their short hair but it somehow does.

This can be a bit tricky to get hold of. The only place I can still find it to buy online is ebay. Here is is about £3 for the product including delivery.
