Explore our guide below and discover simple, kid-friendly routines using clean, nourishing ingredients — because every curl deserves love, protection, and confidence.

1. Keep Hair Moisturized
Dryness is the #1 challenge for natural hair. Use a leave-in conditioner or moisturizer daily to keep curls soft, manageable, and hydrated.

2. Be Gentle When Detangling
Always detangle from the ends up to the roots using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Add conditioner or detangling spray to avoid breakage.

3. Protect Hair at Night
Use a satin or silk bonnet, pillowcase, or scarf to prevent frizz, tangles, and moisture loss while sleeping.

4. Wash With Care
Shampoo every 1–2 weeks (or as needed) with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser to remove buildup without stripping natural oils.

5. Don’t Skip Deep Conditioning
Deep condition at least once every 1–2 weeks to restore strength and moisture to curls.

6. Seal in Moisture
After applying a leave-in, lock in hydration with a lightweight oil or butter. This helps prevent dryness throughout the week.

7. Trim Regularly
Trimming every 8–12 weeks prevents split ends and promotes healthier, fuller hair growth.

8. Avoid Too Much Heat
Limit the use of blow-dryers, flat irons, and curling wands. If heat styling, always apply a heat protectant.

9. Massage the Scalp
A 5-minute scalp massage with growth oil stimulates circulation and supports healthy hair growth.

10. Celebrate Every Curl
Every strand is unique. Teach little ones (and remind yourself!) that curls, coils, and kinks are beautiful in all their forms.
