A bit of leave in conditioner or curl spray. My little Coco is a curl range made especially for little ones.

I use the curling custard from my little coco. But i felt it still wasn’t defined. I haven’t checked if they have a leave in. Have u tried them?

I used the boots pink curl creame for me and my curly lad.

Do you use a brush to help define the curls when wet?

I just use the baby boots brush the small white one nothing specific. Should i get a certain one for defining the curls?

You're better using a comb rather than a brush for defined curls.

Hopefully the pictures attach. I used the pink on for my hair and the denman one for my son's.

For mine I bush in sections pulling the hair horizontally away from the head to get coils. For my son I use the brush vertically pulling away from the head to create ringlets.

Your boy has such cute hair! As a curly haired girl myself, I can tell you that you you should not use brushes on curls. It's much better to use a wide-tooth comb (like someone else suggested). Other than that, it's best to leave curls be as much as possible. You don't need to use a curl cream as such, but it helps to use damp hands to scrunch the curls (if they are already dry). Maybe your boy is too small for hair products, but using some sort of cream or lotion with some hold in also helps with defining curls.

Really depends on the hair type. I've found the brush I posted above works much better for my hair than a wide toothed comb. It's all trial and error to find what works for you.
