Tips for styling toddler's hair

[mishmased]

Hi all, just wondering what products you use for 4c hair that tames the coils? I'm currently using Mielle. She seems to have different strands of hair at the front of her hair compared to the back. She is wearing the hair as I don't think she'll be patient enough for us to braid it as she hates her hair being touched. Mine is similar but forever in braids or cornrows. Any suggestions as to what I can use to soften her hair? Thanks in advance 🙏

A friend of mine used to braid her granddaughters hair whilst she was asleep. She wouldn't have been patient enough to be sit and have it done either.

I would just let their hair be. However, you can use small rubber bands to make Bantu knots, which is quicker for styling. Black ones like those used for loom bands.

Aunt Jackie has hair products for kids.

Thanks @wellthatwentwelldinnit she's such a light sleeper, she will wake up. @debbrianna I'll try that thank you.

I use Creme of Nature - Argan Oil Moisturising lotion and shea butter too. DD is 2 and I have a thread on here about headscarves. A few people commented on there what products they use for their own children so you could also find inspiration there!
