Kids Detangling

Kids Detangling

Detangling sprays, leave-in conditioners and detangling lotions made for children's curls and coils, to take the tears out of wash day and the school morning rush. Brands include Cantu Care for Kids, Curly Kids, African Pride Dream Kids, ORS Olive Oil Girls, Aunt Jackie's Girls and Shea Moisture Kids.

Which one do you need?

  • Detangling spray: light and quick, for daily use on dry or damp hair.
  • Leave-in detangling conditioner: creamier, for thick or very curly hair after washing.
  • Detangling shampoo and conditioner: adds slip in the bath so knots loosen before you comb.

Common questions

How do I detangle my child's hair without tears? Dampen the hair, apply detangler, split into four or more sections, and comb from the ends up with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Hold the hair above the knot so it does not pull on the scalp.

How often should I detangle? Fully on wash day, with a light refresh in between. Braids or twists at night stop new tangles.

Are these safe for young children? They are made for kids, but check the age guidance on the pack and patch test first.

Kids Detangling FAQs

How do I detangle my child's hair without tears?
Work in small sections on damp hair, apply a detangler, and comb gently from the ends up to the roots.
Should I use a detangling spray or a detangling conditioner?
A spray is quick for daily combing. A detangling conditioner is used on wash day for thicker tangles.
Should I detangle wet or dry hair?
Damp hair with a detangler is usually easiest. Avoid combing curly or coily hair when it is completely dry.
