Caring for your children's curly hair can be a real challenge. Tangled curls and the resulting tears are often unavoidable. However, with the right method and products, it's possible to make detangling less painful and improve your little ones' hair health. In this detailed guide, we'll offer a multi-step approach to taming your children's curls, making the experience enjoyable for both you and your children.
Why does curly hair require special attention?
Curly hair differs from other hair types in its structure. Curls create stress points along the hair fiber, making it more prone to breakage, tangles, and dryness. Your children's hair therefore requires gentle, moisturizing, and special care. Fortunately, with the right care routine, you can maintain the natural beauty of your children's curls.
Step by step: successful detangling
Step 1: Clean gently
Start by washing your child's hair with a mild shampoo. Choose a product formulated for curly hair to avoid drying it out. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Step 2: Apply a detangling conditioner
Immediately after washing, apply a detangling conditioner. We suggest using Ceramide Detangling Conditioner, which helps strengthen and smooth hair while making detangling easier. Leave on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
Step 3: Use a leave-in conditioner
Applying a leave-in conditioner is essential for hydrating and defining curls. Opt for the lightweight Marshmallow Leave-in if your child has fine hair, or choose the Collagen & Green Caviar Leave-in for added protection and shine.
Step 4: Carefully detangle
Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to gently detangle your hair. Start at the ends and work your way up to the roots. Be patient and avoid pulling on knots to avoid breakage. Apply a little more leave-in product if needed to help detangle.
Step 5: Define the curls
After detangling your hair, use a gentle children's gel to set and define your curls. Children's Gel is ideal for this step. It holds curls in place without leaving any sticky residue or frizz.
Step 6: Protect while sleeping
Overnight hair can easily become tangled again. Protect curls by covering your child's hair with a satin bonnet or using a satin pillowcase to minimize friction and seal in moisture.
