    I would not recommend this product ever for children. I luckily did not use it on my kids. They happened to be with their father so he shaved their heads. I used it on myself two days ago and I am still feeling the effects. It is a light headache that doesn't go away. It was also really difficult to rinse. I spend at least 1.5 hours in the shower.
