Hi guys! Went to the beach today and my kid has major sand in her hair hair. Any tips on how I can get it out? Please help!

Shampoo it out. Just keep lathering and rinsing until it is all out. Be sure to deep condition afterwards

Thank you! That's my 1st thought. I just want to be sure that it's the best option.

I guess cowashing would be less harsh on her hair, but it might take longer. Good luck

Not being funny, but wash her hair with shampoo.

A clarifying shampoo and go through with a tooth brush to check for any remaining sand.

Thanks Everyone! I initially was reading articles that warned not to wet the hair, but that didn't seem right so I just had to come here and ask...

I don't own any shampoo, but I was able to co-wash her hair with Vo5 conditioner. It has a good lather and it was able to remove most of the sand. I will definitely co-wash again in a couple of days to make sure the rest is removed completely. Thanks again guys!

Very late but...a dry shampoo or even baby powder can help shake the sand out - for future reference. Anything wet causes the sand to stick more. But also, I just wash my hair as per normal when I get sand in my hair.

I just stand under the shower and massage my scalp til its all out

For future reference you could:

Step 1 = step outside, bend at the waist and vigorously shake dry hair while finger fluffing
Step 2 = dunk hair in a tub full of water (kids love it)
Step 3 = wash as you normally would
