What care and actions are recommended for our children's hair?

Children do not have the same hair texture as adults. Their hair is finer and softer which requires appropriate care at every age to keep it in excellent health.

Shampoo:

For shampoos, choose a gentle baby and child shampoo with a neutral pH that will clean and protect their scalp without drying it out.
It will be more detoxifying and cleansing, which will allow the removal of the sebum-sweat mixture.

However, be careful about the frequency of shampoos. If you live in a large urban area, every other day is recommended due to higher pollution, for example. Outside big cities, every three days is sufficient. This time frame allows the sebum to nourish the scalp and roots.

Detangling:

Once shampooing is finished, let's move on to detangling the hair. Sometimes a tedious and unpleasant task for both children and parents. First of all it is normal for children's hair to tangle, no worries.

Avoid adult products such as masks or conditioners, they are not at all made for children's hair texture (too rich). Knots appear when the hair is dry, so it is recommended after showering to apply a 100% organic children's hair treatment to avoid endocrine disruptors and other chemical additives. This will detangle and hydrate their hair and greatly facilitate detangling.

Also choose a suitable styling tool:

• - a special brush (with bristles of different sizes)
• - a wide-tooth comb

Avoid hair dryers which dry out their hair, a simple towel will do without rubbing too hard (to avoid breaking the hair).

And if you love cutting your child's hair, choose a natural styling wax rather than gel with a more chemical composition.

What about kinky, curly, or frizzy hair?

Afro, kinky, curly, or frizzy hair requires the greatest attention. It needs to be more hydrated than straight hair, for example.
Daily hydration is recommended with a 100% organic children's hair treatment. It will also be useful for detangling hair.
Thanks to good hydration, the hair will be more flexible and manageable for easier styling.

Since this hair type is quite complex, a full article will be dedicated soon to detail the essential steps and processes for its care.
