Products for Culry Haired Toddler

My daughters hair isn't super curly but it's fine, wavy/curly, frizzy, and gets very tangled. My favourite products I've used on her hair is the "mixed chicks" children's (or adult) hair care...(shampoo, conditioner, detangler, leave I'm conditioner) and I also put some "morrocanoil" through her hair. (You can get these only from salons or beauty supply outlets) if you can't find morrocanoil (blue bottle) then check for Marakesh oil by earthly body.

My daughter is 7 so Every now and then I'll also treat her hair with a homemade olive oil mask...you can find lots of different recipes online... I usually just use pure olive oil and let it sit for 15-20 minutes then wash it out. Your daughter is still pretty young ...not sure if you'd want to try this as well but it might be helpful in the future :)

Be careful as well not to over wash it which will cause dryness!

Getting hair trimmed regularly is also good to keep hair from getting dry at the ends

I use mixed chicks shampoo and conditioner. You can buy it online but I actually asked the owner of the hair supply store I shop at and she got it for me.

We use Pantene Curly Shampoo and Conditioner. We also use Hawaiian Silky Miracle Works (leave-in conditioner spray from Sally's Beaty Supply). That stuff is awesome!

I swear by Miss Jessie's. It's pricier than what I thought I'd ever spend on a child's hair care, but soooo worth it. My daughter has giant curls that get so very dry, but I wash with the Creme de la Curl and then condition with Creme de la Creme. I also like running some of the Curly Meringue through it when I'm fixing it. Makes her hair so gorgeous, and I love the way it smells. ♥

I love Miss Jessie's hair products. It definitely makes my daughter's hair very soft and manageable.

When I was little I had really curly like tight curls hair my mom would use mane and tail on my hair and the pink hair oil. Mane and tail just for the shampoo is $6 but it works very well and the motions hair oil is great. My son is 15 months and since I'm cheap lol I don't get the mane and tail but johnsons has a curly hair shampoo and conditioner combo that I use once a week and I got him the motions leave in oil. Even though he has baby fine hair it still gets curly at the end and it gets dry like black hair does. So I use the motions pink on his head and it keeps his hair soft and well nurioushed so he dosent have dry scalp or a fuzz head.

just for me hair milk works really well for my little girls hair. They have a leave in moisterizer, shampoo, detangler and leave in conditioner. I wash my little ones hair three or four times a week also it keeps it from drying out. Also some detanglers will dry out biracial hair too. Hope this helps.

Thanks all! I don't know why I keep forgetting about Mixed Chicks. My best friend uses is and keeps telling me about it, but I keep forgetting. That Curly Q's sounds interesting too. Will check out both, thanks!

My girl is pretty much a "curly top" as we call her. I usually use Carol's Daughter hair milk after I wash it which manages the curls pretty good and keeps her hair from drying out. Smells yummy too and its about 18 dollars per bottle.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE www.mixedchicks.net leave-in hair conditioner. i have to buy it online because no store near here carry it. i spent about $80 on a HUGE pump bottle - i use a ton of it every morning on her hair and the bottle has lasted about 8 months. totally worth it! my daughter's hair is very curly (perfect tight spirals) but not exactly kinky so standard 'black hair care products' are too oily for her. this product was recommended to me by my puerto rican hair dresser who uses it on herself and her biracial girls.
also check out Blended Beauties. it is an online company that caters to biracial hair types. they have lots of pictures on their website so you can see the types of hair their products are designed for. i like mixed chicks better but blended beauties is very similar. both product lines have a sublte nice smell (not too uch of a perfume smell) and leave her hair soft. its a great detangler too!

Go to your local beauty supply shop and buy "Curly Q's" hair products. They have a moisturizing shampoo, conditioner and a leave in moisturizer (one called "milkshake" and the other called "custard", both work great) that you run from root to tip, one section at a time. you can use it when her hair is wet or dry, but i prefer styling it when its wet. the moisturizer will define the curls and also naturally elongate them, making them hang down as opposed to sticking close to her head. reapply the moisturizer daily (as needed) and wash her hair 3 or 4 times a week at the most. Washing her hair every day WILL dry it out. also, when you are washing and conditioning her hair, after you have put the conditioner in, run a wide tooth comb through her hair, getting rid of any tangles. this will also allow you to easily run the leave in moisturizer through her hair. i hope i helped!
