We've all been there. Tantrums, tears, belly laughs and everything between. Establishing a curl care routine with a little one (or an older one!) can be challenging.
Cleanse
Ensure they get a good cleanse. Successful washdays only need to happen once a week. Double cleanse if they do a lot of sport or tend to get mucky! Our Goji Berry Mint Reviving Hair Rinse is so gentle you can even detangle with it.
Condition
Rotate the Quinoa Repair Deep Conditioner and Coconut Almond Detangling Conditioner each week. For extra tangly or coarse curls use Babassu Quench Leave-In Curl Primer every week with the bi-weekly Quinoa Repair. Focus application on mid-shaft to ends and the nape area.
Style
Bamboo Ginseng Curling Mousse is a perfect base for Papaya Slip Taming Potion, Açaí Berry Fix Defining Gel or the Bamboo Ginseng Curling Glaze. Apply by sectioning (even if it is just two sections!) using the “praying hands method” of gliding your palms in a smoothing motion down with hair sandwiched between. Gently flip head over and then scrunch curls upwards. This enhances the curl and distributes the styling gel combo evenly. Try to explain to them the importance of not touching their curls during the drying process so that they achieve little to no frizz. Ideally their hair should be dry or mostly dry before bed.
Sleep tips to minimise frizz
Pineapple the hair at night (high ponytail at forehead like a unicorn so they sleep on the underside of their curls). If that is not ideal or the hair is short, try a silk/satin pillowcase. Sleep with the cast in and then scrunch it out in the morning.
Refresh (on dry curls)
Moisturise dry curls with a pea-sized amount of Miracle Maca Moisture Balm between washes if needed. Especially at the ends.
Top tips
- Never brush their curls dry. It causes frizz resulting in curls losing definition.
- Avoid touching curls during the drying process.
- Curls love moisture. Leave-in conditioner like our Babassu Quench Leave-In Curl Primer is your best friend!
