We aren't black, but my daughter had it on her eyebrows. In the morning I dabbed a tiny bit of olive oil on it. After her baths I gently went over it with a soft baby hair brush. Hers cleared up.

We've used mustela newborn wash and they also have a product specifically for cradle cap. We also used almond oil for moisturizing as lotion doesn't help at all.. If anything it makes it worse.

My son had cradle cap his pedi told us to use a little head and shoulders in the bath. It cleared up in one wash! Just make sure you don't get it their eyes.

Coconut oil worked for me! I put it in his hair and left it for a day then combed it out with baby shampoo. Hasn't been back since.

My first had it. Just used a soft brush to comb it out after her bath, or during. The warm water helps to soften it.

Coconut oil FTW! It worked in a day on my LO and no problems since. Just apply in the morning, leave on, and comb out at night.

Mustela foam shampoo works like a charm! Rub it in and let it sit during the bath. Use a soft brush to brush it around and rinse. Takes away 90% and then just repeat every bath.

I used baby oil gel, put it on the flaky areas and let it sit for about 10-15 mins, then washed it out with warm water.
