Top Tips for Children With Afro, Mixed Race or Multi Textured Curly Hair

Many adults know how to care for their own natural curls at home, however children’s hair does need to be treated differently. The afro hair experts at Afrotherapy can help with some top tips for keeping your youngsters curls in great condition between salon visits:

• Washing – washing the hair every day will strip the hair of its natural oils and dry out curls so don’t wash your child’s hair every day. (Most young children like this one!)
• Products – pick a suitable moisturising shampoo and conditioner. Your Afrotherapy stylist will be able to advise the perfect products to maintain your natural curls
• Check ingredients – children’s hair care should not contain too many chemicals so avoid ingredients such as parabens, alcohol and sulphates
• Brushing – when brushing afro, mixed race hair or multi textured curly hair make sure hair is wet and use a wide tooth comb with conditioner or detangling spray
• Styling – don’t cause a build up on the hair and weigh down curls with too much product such as gel or mousse
