How do you wash your babys hair and avoid getting soap in their eyes and ears? I have seen those hair visor thingys, any one have experience with those? Does it work?

I wait until the end of the bath to put shampoo in his hair, then take him out, wrap him in a towel and sit on the edge of the tub with him on my lap so I can just put his head under the faucet... hopefully that makes sense. It works great!
Ears I never really worried about, but eyes, we would use a cloth and our hand, and tilt their heads back
I use a washcloth and the minimal amount of soap.
I feel like your hand or a washcloth has the same effect as those visors. I think kids get used to it after a while and know to look up at the ceiling while I wash their hair.
I have boys, so I'm not dealing with a lot of long hair, but I soap up a washcloth and use that initially then work it through with my hands. This seems to work. I also use shampoo that doesn't irritate the eyes.
I use a gentle organic soap and we take our time and play so when it does get in his eyes he doesn't even notice really.
I never used one. I just put a washcloth over his eyes and this did the trick. I also just used a plastic cup to rinse him and leaned him backward. Never had an issue! Save your money.
I just teach them to look up and put their head back. Also, if you use a mild tear free shampoo for a while, it lets them get the hang of it, without being scared of getting soap in their eyes.
Every other day we did. Noodle n Boo products.
Yes, I have used a visor, but it only worked a couple of times. Baby didn't like it anymore.
