How to Revive Your Kids' Curls in 4 Easy Steps
My sweet parents, are you ready to discover the secrets to giving new life to your little ones' curly hair, without having to wash it again ?
Our children's curly hair is a precious treasure to take care of. But I know how difficult it can be to tame their unruly curls in the days following wash day.
Don't despair, my dear moms and dads. Today I'm sharing with you tricks and secrets to keep your little ones' curls defined, shiny and frizz-free, day after day.
Why are children's curls special?
Children's curly hair is unique and special, just like them. In fact, its structure is different from that of straight hair, and requires specific care and attention.
We have already seen how to take care of children's afro hair . And if you have also read our article The best products for curly and afro hair , you know that the products that are good for afro hair are also perfect for curly and wavy hair. The trick is knowing how to find the right amount of product to use based on the type of hair.
But what about the days following wash day, how can we give definition and shine to our little ones' hair quickly and easily? Here's the secret: refresh .
The refresh to revive curls without washing them again
Imagine being able to refresh your children's curls easily and in just a few minutes, without having to wash them completely. This is exactly what refresh is.
Let's see below the steps to do it best.
1. We section the curls
We divide the hair into sections. This way, we can work on each section carefully and get a uniform result.
2. A touch of hydration
We use a spray bottle to spray water on the hair , just a light mist to wake up the hair without weighing it down.
3. Nourishment for shiny curls
After wetting your hair, it’s time to nourish it with a leave-in product. Distribute it evenly, section by section, and then scrunch to reactivate the curls.
Here are the best leave-in products for children's curly hair:
- Super Moisturizing Daily Milk Kids Line : nourishes, polishes and softens hair, strengthening and protecting it.
- Chantilly High Definition Cream Kids Line : nourishes, defines and hydrates particularly frizzy and dry hair, giving defined, hydrated and soft curls.
- Spritz Daily Hydrating Spray Kids Line : a studied blend of oils and natural ingredients to hydrate and soften hair while preventing the formation of knots. With the spritz spray, refreshing is even faster and easier. In fact, you don't even have to wet your hair first (so you can skip step 2).
Choosing the right products for children's curly hair is essential to achieve optimal results. By the way, I recommend you also look at our kids curly hair kits : you will find all the necessary products, formulated with delicate and nourishing ingredients, for washing and maintaining your little ones' curls.
4. Drying with diffuser
Diffuser drying is the best way to preserve curl definition. It will take just 5 minutes, as the hair is only damp, and your children will be ready to go and play.
But please remember, my curly and afro-haired parents, Avoid using excessively high temperatures and try to touch your hair as little as possible while drying. By doing so avoid the frizzy effect .
