5 Tips and Tricks for Caring for Your Little One's Curls

Curls are a beautiful and unique feature of many children's hair.
They can be soft and bouncy, but they can also be a challenge to care for.
If you're a parent of a curly-haired little one, you know that maintaining those gorgeous locks can sometimes be a bit of a stress point for all.

Don't worry, though! We've got you covered with some valuable tips and tricks to keep your little one's curls looking their best.

Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner


The foundation of curly hair care begins with the right shampoo and conditioner. Opt for sulphate-free, hydrating products that won't strip the hair of its natural oils.
Look for formulas designed specifically for curly hair to help maintain moisture and minimise frizz.

Gentle Detangling

Curly hair tends to tangle easily, especially after a night's sleep or active play.
Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to gently detangle knots when the hair is wet and coated with conditioner. Start at the very ends and work your way up to the roots to avoid tugging at the roots and causing damage to the hair. Our detangling spray is perfect for making hair care a breeze!

This is the stage where you comb the hair into place as once they hop out of the bath/shower it’s best to not comb again at the risk of making the hair frizzy.

the 'Squish' Technique:

After applying the conditioner, try the "Squish" technique.
Gently scrunch the hair while it's still wet to encourage the curls to form and retain their shape. This method helps prevent frizz and creates defined curls.

Leave the hair wet to style

Curly hair loves moisture so using a towel to dry the hair, can cause the hair to frizz or lose its formation. Leaving the hair wet and applying the products straight into it without drying, will create a more hydrated and defined curl.
Use the above Squish technique when applying styling products

Bed Hair

Children’s hair in the mornings can often resemble a bird’s nest. We recommend wetting the hair back down and using the Curl Spray to re-define. If it requires detangling, spray the hair down and use a wide-tooth comb along with the detangling spray for the perfect boost.
