Q by Ashley: I have a two year old with hair identical to the girls in the photo you posted here. No one in our home has curly hair so my partner and I are drawing a blank on how to care for it. We wash her hair about once a week, some times less and use a conditioner every time she bathes to remove the knots (with our fingers). Beyond that its a total mess. Is there a no fuss (and natural) way to tame her hair? Would you please post about caring for curly/wavy hair?
Pretty please and Thank you!

A by Reagan: Buy this product. This is my biggest seller by a landslide. I recommend this product to almost all of my clients, many men included, but as soon as I find out they have kids it goes from a recommended product, to a must have product. This is the best de-tangler I have ever used. It is a leave-in conditioner, a smoothing cream, a de-tangler, anti-frizz and a little hold all in one. Kids hate to have their hair brushed, and it can become a rat’s nest (as my mom often called my hair growing up), so a great de-tangler is the most important, if not the only product you need for children.
When using this product on your daughter’s dry hair, you would want to spray just water on it first to get damp on top and wet on ends, then spray It’s a Ten in the palm of your hands, rub together and then apply evenly to her hair. Then gently comb or brush through. I usually spray enough in my hands to be about the same size as a small grape, but you’ll learn what is right for her after you’ve used a few times. Also, you can spray directly into her hair, I just prefer my hands first so that I can deposit onto the hair more carefully.
This product is kind of expensive, but very very worth it. Good luck!
I love love love this blog! I’m a huge fan of trying different hair products! I bought the Redkin shine cream you recommended and love it and i’m going to buy me some ‘it’s a 10′ today! I’m intrigued by all things hair and this blog is right up my alley! Wish I lived in NY, I’d want you to cut my hair. It needs some serious help! Don’t know if I’ll ever make it to beauty school so for the time, I’ll live my dream vicariously through you
Thank you so much! I will look into finding a bottle of that for our daughter. Her hair is transitioning from fine baby hair to thicker coarser ‘adult’ hair and it is driving my up the wall!
Thanks again.
I saw your blog from CJane’s and about DIED when I saw this post. My friend suggested this to me about a year ago and I haven’t gone ONE day without it. It literally IS a miracle product!!! I too have a 2.5 year old with hair like Annie. No joke. Every night after her bath I spray this on her hair before I brush and we go as far as calling it her “hair medicine” to make the brushing feel better. It is SO easy to brush through her SUPER curly hair with this stuff. I also use it on my own straight hair and it takes ALL the frizz out. I totally agree with HDOF on this one. The big bottle is about $39 but lasts about 6 months (for 2 people, almost every day).
Okay so this is an old post, I hope you get the replys still! For kids, a slightly less expensive, but EQUALLY butt kicking for any kids hair or adults, Big Sexy Soy Leave in conditioner. EXCELLENT STUFF. great to recommend for clients who teens are getting acne, conditioner is a HUGE culprit in teen acne. If they use the soy, they get the hair feel they like, but it stays off their face.
Try it out, I know you will love it!

I cannot wait to try this on my 18 month olds hair! She has curls, and they are getting frizzy looking instead of angelic. She needs something, but I hate to put anything in her hair at such a young age
I have extremely curly hair, and I recently had a friend trim my ends and she chopped off a good 6 inches. With curly hair cutting off an inch is more like 2, because it curls up, and I have an awkward afro for the moment. Because of this I’ve been blow drying it out until it gets back to a length I like, and to help keep it healthy I use this product (the with Keratin version) and my hair has been super happy and healthy despite the added heat everyday. It is pricey, but it’s worth it.
