Thank you. I've never actually brushed it, do I need to comb it?

He has it washed every night (because he gets absolutely filthy!). Would a leave in conditioner be an option? My husband does bath and bedtime whilst I'm at work so thinking as simple as possible..

yes, you can use this leave in conditioner

use instead of the regular conditioner, and don't use the detangling spray. It is good to run a comb through it as it helps the curls form properly.

I would also try to only properly wash it (with shampoo and conditioner) 2 times a week, the rest of the time just rinse with water, pat try with an old tshirt and comb through (you could use detangling spray on the days you don't use conditioner)

all the best x
