Black hair is extremely fragile. A gentle touch is required to avoid unnecessary breakage and hair loss. Therefore, always use a wide tooth comb or pick when combing the hair. Avoid fine tooth combs as they snag and pull out curly/kinky hair. Invest in a quality brush; natural boar brushes are the best.



Curly/kinky hair needs moisture, moisture, and more moisture! Consider this when purchasing hair care products. Avoid drying products such as hair spray, mousse, holding gels, etc. Opt for moisturizers, leave in conditioners, and styling lotions.



All products are not created equal. Just because a product claims to be created for "curly hair" doesn't guarantee that it will be suitable for ethnic curly hair. Products created for Nicole Kidman's curly hair may not work for Angela Bassett's. Caucasian hair tends to distribute more sebum (oily secretion created by the sebaceous gland) than Black textured hair; therefore, Black hair requires more natural oils. Read, no, scrutinize the ingredient list. Look for natural oils and quality ingredients. Remember, the ingredients are listed in order of volume.



Black hair should not be shampooed every day, or every other day for that matter. Instead, shampoo your child's hair every 7 days max! We recommend shampooing 2x a month. I know this may confuse those who shampoo daily; however, you must remember that Black hair needs oil, and because it distributes less sebum, frequent shampooing can dry out the hair and scalp. Now this doesn't mean that you shouldn't cleanse or condition the hair in between your "no poo" days. Instead, opt for a conditioning rinse.



Conditioning Rinse: Rinse hair with warm water, apply Coconut Dream conditioner, and rinse well. This will give you a clean start and provide added conditioning and moisture without stripping away protective oils.



We recommend our Curly Q's Hydrating shampoo and Coconut Dream conditioner.



Shampooing an infant's hair should be done on an as needed basis. Daily shampooing isn't needed nor is it recommended. If your infant has a substantial amount of hair, you may need to shampoo it more frequently (~ 2x week) than an infant without as much hair (~1x week). When washing the hair and the scalp of a baby or young child, be sure to go very slow and easy. Make sure that there are no tangles in the hair before washing it. It is recommended that you continue to use baby shampoo until the child is old enough to sit (reasonably) still during shampooing.



Error #2 - Under conditioning - Proper conditioning is one of the most important steps for healthy hair. Unfortunately, most do not take the time to adequately do so. I recommend using a deep conditioner on your child's once a month, especially during the winter season. Our Coconut Dream conditioner works great鈥ith or without heat.

There is really no difference with the shampoo and conitioner. Any shampoo and conditioner can be used. Use whatever is in the bathroom. She's two also, rub gently to not irritate the scalp and cause her discomfort.

I would say see how oily it gets after a few days. You will be able to see and feel the oil in a white person's hair quite easily if it needs washed. That ought to be a good indication of when it needs washed again. I don't wash my hair everyday, even as a white person. My hair is naturally curly, and drier than other white people's hair. This child's hair is probably curlier than mine, though, and will probably only need washed after 4 days or so. Just make sure to deep condition the hair, and it should be fine.

Depends on whethor her hair type is more kinky or straight.
