Child's frizzy hair

8 replies

wellygang6 · 24/11/2023 08:41

Hi there, my 3 year old has quite frizzy, wavy, slightly curly hair. If I wash and blow dry it then it looks beautiful but often she has a bath in the evening and by the next morning it is wild and frizzy. Can anyone recommend any products to tame it please? Thanks

Try the child's farm shampoo, conditioner and leave in spray. Amazon have a set of them currently
Childs Farm, Kids Hair Coco-Nourish Regime Bundle, Shampoo 250ml, Conditioner 250ml and Leave-in Conditioner 125ml, Dry, Curly and Coily Hair : Amazon.co.uk: Baby Products
Wash and condition her hair as normal, then brush it whilst it's still wet, pat dry with an old tshirt (helps to stop frizz rather than a towel), then spray the leave in conditioner in and scrunch her hair up.
I found it easier to let their hair airdry at that age, but if it's late/ you need to dry it quickly, use a diffuser on the hairdryer (plenty of tutorials on youtube of how to use one).
A silk/satin pillowcase (you can get them cheaply on Temu, Amazon etc) also helps stop frizz overnight. If she wakes up and it's a bit frizzy, you can use a curl reviver spray such as this one,
CANTU kids care curl refresher spray 237 ml (Pack of 1) : Amazon.co.uk: Beauty
spray it in and scrunch her curls up slightly.

You need to do a lot of experimenting. What works for one curl won't necessarily work for another.

For example, Cantu is terrible on my DD's hair.

If you know any other curly haired people you could ask them for a little sample of what they use.

Definitely get a silk pillowcase (TKmax) or a bonnet.

'Soaps for little Suds' is a small business run by a woman that sells brilliant and affordable products.
If you message her with a photo of your daughter's hair, she is very, very good at determining what would suit her because she has alot of knowledge on the subject, especially different types of curls.
Her children have curly hair themselves.
She has a website and a Facebook presence.

What @xmasdealhunter said. Embrace curls,
Scrunch with tshirt, silk pillows

Aussie leave in conditioner
Use shampoo only 2x a week max (once if she’s not grubby) and conditioner only for other hair washes

I refresh my curly hair in the morning with a light spray of water and then whatever product I fancy using. I find I don’t need to wash it a lot but water plus product always revives it, and gets rid of frizz
