My little girl is 19 months old and has really thick curly hair which is constantly damp/wet in this roasting weather. I’ve noticed she’s being scratching her head. I’ve checked and checked. Can’t find anything. She’s in childcare four days a week. Do I just put it down to her head being itchy cos she’s so hot??
Any help much appreciated!

My lo itches his head when he is sweaty too. Xx

My boy has been scratching his head loads too. His body is a mess due to his eczema as well x

I’d say it’s probs the heat, plus if she’s sweating she might feel a little trickle of it running down her scalp maybe xx
