Given the huge diversity of curl patterns and textures, Ouidad tells us that finding the right products for your specific curly needs is paramount. When you’re a mom with a KRYL kid whose curly hair type does not match your own – understanding how to care for their delicate curls can be particularly challenging.

That’s why Ouidad created this new video “How Do I Tame My Kids’ Curls?” The Queen of Curls shows moms and kids how to care for their curls with confidence, not confusion! This great step-by-step demo features Ouidad and her expert stylists who bring new life to delicate curls, putting the Krly Kids Collection and her signature Rake n’ Shake method to work!

Today, even our kids want to look great in less time.  So it’s a good thing you can always count on Ouidad to help keep their hair care regimen simple. Remember these curly hair tips to pare down your kids’ hair care routine:

1. Skip a wash cycle. Daily shampooing can strip much needed moisture from your child’s delicate hair. Your child’s curl pattern should dictate how often to shampoo. On days when you’re not shampooing, you can rinse hair and detangle with a leave-in conditioner to keep curls looking great.
2. Shrink styling time. Since styling products can easily slide off wet hair, be sure to use an absorbent cloth, like one made of microfiber, to blot dry your child’s hair in half the time. This way, your products will last longer too since you’ll end up having to apply less.
3. Banish the brush.  Curly hair should never be brushed. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your child’s tresses while hair is still wet.

Now with these time-saving tips, you can spend more time wearing those gorgeous curls and less time getting them!

We’ve all heard that ancient piece of advice recommending brushing our hair a hundred strokes a day. Well, if you have a curly kid … banish the thought! In fact, throw out the brush altogether!

One of the most important components of styling and caring for curly hair is using a nice, wide-tooth comb, like the Ouidad Double Detangler. Comb the hair only when it’s wet and well conditioned with our KRLY Kids No More Knots. (If you don’t need the double detangler, Ouidad’s traditional Wide Tooth Comb is perfect for in-shower or bath-time use. It even has a nifty hooked handle so you can hang it in the tub!) Then carefully rinse out the conditioner … or leave it in if you’re using No More Knots as a moisture treatment.

Some other tips for general care of children’s curly hair include washing it infrequently, and using a mild shampoo like KRLY Kids No Time for Tears. However, it’s extremely important to note that whenever you do shampoo, conditioning is a must! Conditioning after every shampoo will moisturize curls to keep them healthy and beautiful.

So, once you’ve cleaned those curls and applied conditioner, break out that good old wide-tooth comb and gently start detangling. Your children—and their curls!—will thank you!
