How do you use borax to get rid of cradle cap?
I am a sixty-three year old Grandma and I used Borax on my children to clear up Cradle Cap and my Grandchildren. My daughter thought it was some sort of 'old-wifes tale' so I had to treat my Grandchildren on the days that I looked after them and let her think it had cleared up on its own. Anyway all I do is make a paste with the Borax and a bit of water. Wet their heada little bit then Massage it into the Cradle Cap for a couple of minutes or if they get impatient leave it on their heads for a couple of minutes then wash it off with your ususal shampoo. That's it! If it dos'nt clear first time, just repeat the next bath time. It works better than all these things from the chemist.
