Do children really have different hair care needs than adults?

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Kids tend to have finer hair that produces less oil than adults up until puberty. The skin is also extremely delicate and sensitive during childhood, hence the “tender headed” description assigned to many children. Because of this, the following is important when it comes to kid’s kinky, coily, and/or curly hair care:</span>

How can I keep my child’s kinks, coils and curls looking hydrated and healthy?

Moisturize! When hair is dull and dry it is usually due to dehydration of the hair strands. Wash day is the best time to reintroduce moisture to your child’s hair. Try the 3-step wash day routine from Just for Me® Curl Peace™ to restore and retain the moisture in your little one’s kinks, coils and curls. Many natural kids that are prone to dry hair benefit from the cocktailing a liquid leave-in, oil and curl cream to help with moisture retention. This is known as the L.O.C. or L.C.O. method (Liquid. Oil. Cream or Liquid. Cream. Oil) depending on the order of application. Try the L.O.C. method using the following Just for Me® products:

This combination will provide moisture longevity and excellent detangling, a major plus!

How can I keep my child’s edges healthy?

Here are the best ways to maintain healthy hair for your kids:

  1. Minimize tension and tearing through hair. Be gentle when detangling and use products like our 5-in-1 Wonder Spray or Defining Curl & Coil Cream when detangling in between wash days. Remember, never detangle dry hair
  2. Keep up with your wash days!  Cleaning the hair and scalp every 1-2 weeks is key to healthy growth and nutrient absorption.  Also, there’s no better time to detangle than wash day, so embrace it! Try the Curl Peace™ Wash Day Routine with our Tender Head Detangling Treatment, Ultimate Detangling Shampoo and Ultimate Detangling Conditioner.
  3. Sleep like royalty! Cotton pillowcases and headwraps can deplete the hair of natural oils and cause breakage. Protect your princess or prince by covering their hair with a satin or silk scarf, bonnet or pillowcase at bed time. Sweet dreams!

What should I do if my child doesn’t have a curl pattern?

Sometimes, the natural curl needs help being defined. Use Just for Me® Curl Peace™ Defining Curl and Coil Cream to promote definition the following ways:

  • Wash & Go Curls – Apply the Defining Curl & Coil Cream to recently washed hair for defined, shiny coils and curls.
  • Finger Coiled Curls – Apply the Defining Curl & Coil Cream and go section by section to create definition using the finger coiling method.

Style Set Curls – Apply the Defining Curl & Coil Cream before styling hair in twists, braids or bantu knots.  Allow hair to dry completely before taking down the style to reveal beautiful, defined curls.

What can I do to help my child’s hair grow?

Hair naturally grows on its own, but here are some tips for proper care and length retention:

  • First, be kind to your child’s hair. Use gentle detangling techniques and products specifically made for kid’s hair care and maintenance.
  • Keep up with wash day! Regular cleansing, conditioning and detangling are major keys to kid’s healthy hair care.
  • Focus on gentle styling with minimal tension and nutrient rich products that support the health of the hair.

How often do I need to wash my child’s hair?

Hair should be washed every 1-2 weeks. Wash Day is important because it is an opportunity to remove build up from products and the environment, detangle coils, kinks and curls and impart moisture.

What is a Pre-Poo?

“Pre-Poo” or Pre-Shampoo is any product being applied to the hair before shampooing.  Oils, lotions or conditioners can be used as pre-poos. Just for Me® Curl Peace™ Tender Head Detangling Treatment can be used as a pre-shampoo or after taking down protective styles to quickly eliminate tangles and prevent excess shedding.

What is a Co-Wash?

Co-Washing means washing the hair with conditioner only. This is a great method to refresh curls mid-week for those who prefer wash and go styling. Co-Washing should not replace regular shampooing as it is necessary to remove old oil, build up and dirt from the scalp and hair to promote healthy follicles and proper circulation.  

Do I need to condition my child’s hair every wash day, or can I skip it?

Skipping conditioning is not recommended. After shampooing, you have removed oil and dirt and the hair cuticle is open and ready to receive moisture. This is a great opportunity to fill it up with all the good stuff, who are we to waste it? If you worry about weighing down fine hair, utilize less product and only add to the mid shaft and ends. Try Curl Peace™ Ultimate Detangling Conditioner for great detangling and quick absorption to nourish from the inside out.

How long should I let the conditioner sit?

5-10 minutes is just fine for a regular conditioning. Try deep conditioning once a month for up to 30 minutes with heat from a dryer or plastic cap.

Do I need to use a leave-in conditioner?

Leave-In conditioners are essential to the continued protection of the hair. Try using Curl Peace™ 5-in-1 Wonder Spray as a leave-in conditioner for detangling, additional moisture, shine, strengthening and heat protection.

Do boys need to use conditioner too?

Absolutely! Boys with longer hair require the same maintenance as girls. Remember, moisture is buildable, so the more you shampoo and condition the hair the more primed it will be to receive moisture.

Is painless detangling possible?

Yes. Although every child responds differently to getting their coils, kinks and curls detangled, painless detangling is possible with the right products and techniques. Curl Peace™ products add slip to the hair, which is the foundation to gentle detangling.  

What is the best way to detangle my child’s hair?

Here’s the Just for Me® Curl Peace™ approach to detangling.:

  1. Never Detangle Dry Hair

Slip is a major key to gentle detangling.  Kid kinks, coils and curls lack elasticity when they’re dry, making them vulnerable to breakage during detangling.  Try the new Just for Me® Curl Peace™ Wash Day Routine  and the Just for Me® Curl Peace™ 5-in-1 Wonder Spray for easy detangling and slip.

  1. Detangle Section by Section

Divide kid’s kinks, coils and curls into sections of four or more to make the detangling process easier for you and your little one.

  1. Start at the Bottom

Approach detangling by starting from the bottom (ends) and work your way up to the scalp using a wide tooth comb.

  1. Hold On

Hold on to the hair right above the loose area you’re detangling to allow absorption of any pulling and tension and prevent the scalp from being subjected to any tugging.

  1. Positive Energy Brings Peace

Be patient and know that you’ve got this!  Approach the detangling and hair care process with positive energy and confidence and your kids are likely to follow suit.

How often should I detangle my child’s hair?

Wash Days are made for detangling.  If wash day comes every two weeks in your home try detangling at least weekly or refresh curls using Curl Peace™ 5-in-1 Wonder Spray.

How can I prevent tangling and matting?

To prevent excessive tangling and matting establish a weekly maintenance routine. Here are the recommended regimens for Curl Peace™:

What are the best products for lasting styles?

Products that include hold and moisture retention are the best products for lasting styles. Just for Me® Curl Peace™ Defining Curl and Coil Cream, Smoothing Ponytail and Edge Control and Braiding and Twisting Grip Glaze are all great products for making styles last.

What are some cute styles for short hair?

Finger coils and comb coils are always a go-to for defining curls on short hair. Give it a try with Just for Me® Curl Peace™ Defining Curl & Coil Cream. Not only does this cream add definition and shine, it also leaves hair nourished and soft.  For added cuteness try adding cornrows and flat-twists along the hairline, on the sides, front or back of the hair with Just for Me® Curl Peace™ Braiding & Twisting Grip Glaze. Whatever style you choose, be sure to let your coily, kinky, curly haired kid know that they are beautiful!

How can I blow dry my child’s hair?

First, apply Just for Me® Curl Peace 5-in-1 Wonder Spray to help protect against heat. Part the hair into four sections. Gently detangle each section, starting at the ends and working your way up. After detangling, grab hair by the ends and stretch, moving the blow dryer up and down the length of the hair from end to root. After selected section is 75% dry, run a paddle brush through the hair simultaneously with the blow dryer. This can also be done with a comb attachment.

What can I do to make styling faster?

Quality products + the right technique = easier & faster styling. Go for products like Just for Me® Curl Peace™ that offer detangling, conditioning and protection.  These key components to healthier hair care help save time. The healthier the hair, the easier styling becomes as less time is spent working through tangles and struggling through dry, damaged hair.
