Help please! DS's curly hair...

6 replies

DS is 9. He has a great head of hair. Currently has an undercut with it longish on top. It's wavy, almost curly. He loves it when it looks curly and tries to achieve curls every day. When it does look curlier, we're never quite sure how we achieved it and so can't always replicate it.

Does anyone have any tips? Curl cream? Sea salt spray? Any other products/styling advice? I'm a slave to my hair straighteners so I'm no help to him at all.

I've attached some photos. One is his natural hair. The blue is a blue wax he has which he loves and it does enhance the curls, but blue isn't always practical!

Help please! DS's curly hair...

Thanks SirVix, will have a look at that too. Aah and thank you, yes, I know I'm biased but I agree with your re the gorgeous-ness! (You got a sneaky peek at him...I've just reported the post because I'd blurred out his face on my camera roll, but for some reason it's not blurred out on here.)

My son has curly hair and swears by Boots Curl Creme, applied to soaking wet hair and then scrunched when dry. Gives lovely curls as opposed to being a Leo Sayer lookalike (sorry Leo).

Thanks fumanchu. I've ordered a few things to try today, including curl creme. We'll give your son's technique a try.
