Every type of hair requires different care and children’s hair is no different, so check out tips on how to care for curly and frizzy hair!
Children’s hair needs special attention as it is more delicate and requires specific care to ensure its health and adequate growth. In the case of frizzy and curly hair, this care goes beyond appearance, being essential for the development of children’s self-esteem and identity.
Generally, parents want the products used to promote well-defined, hydrated, easy-to-detangle curls with controlled volume.
In recent years, the movement to value and accept frizzy and curly hair has gained strength, sparking greater interest in how to care for these strands. Data from Google Trends shows that searches for the term “curls” have grown by more than 300% in the last decade. This increase in interest motivated brands to invest in high-quality products aimed at this specific audience.
Trá Lá Lá Kids, a brand recognized for making child care lighter and more fun, launched the “Crespos Incríveis” line, created especially for children aged 3 to 12 with frizzy and curly hair. This 100% vegan line is a big step towards strengthening children’s self-esteem and making parents’ routine easier. The kit includes a Shampoo and a 3-in-1 Treatment Cream, which can be used in different ways.
The representation of curly hair in childhood is essential to promote diversity and inclusion from an early age. With the ‘Crespos Incríveis’ line, we take an important step in this direction, offering products designed to care for and enhance the natural beauty of frizzy and curly hair. This helps children feel represented and valued in different aspects of life”, he says. Luciana Amiralian, director of R&D at Phisalia.
Essential care for frizzy hair
The variety of products available can raise questions about how to create a care routine for children’s hair. Below are some essential tips for keeping your hair healthy:
1. Wash with gentle, moisturizing products: Choose delicate shampoos and conditioners, free from sulfates and parabens, that do not dry out your hair. Choose specific formulas for frizzy hair, rich in moisturizing ingredients, such as vegetable oils and natural butters, which help preserve moisture and leave strands soft and healthy.
2. Regular hydration is essential: Curly hair tends to be drier, as its structure makes it difficult to distribute natural oil. To avoid dryness, include weekly hydration with specific masks or creams. The 3-in-1 “Crespos Incríveis” Treatment Cream from Trá Lá Lá Kids, for example, offers benefits such as softness, shine, definition and damage reduction, in addition to being free of silicones and mineral oils.
3. Avoid using excessive heat: Frequent use of heat tools, such as dryers and straighteners, can weaken hair. Whenever possible, let your hair dry naturally. If you need to use a dryer, use a diffuser to minimize damage and keep your curls well defined. Remember to apply heat protectant to protect your hair from heat.
4. Choose the right comb: The type of comb makes all the difference. Use wide-toothed combs to untangle your hair without breaking it. Another option is to use your fingers to untangle or opt for fork combs, which help to add volume and definition to the curls.
5. Protect your hair at night: Friction with the pillow can cause frizz and even hair breakage. Protecting your hair at night with bonnets or satin scarves is a practical solution for preserving your curls. Alternatively, satin pillowcases also help maintain hydration and prevent frizz.
