Your little one’s natural hair requires curly hair care products and special attention. If you don’t stay on top of their curly hair care routine their hair will become dry and damaged, which can take many months to reverse.
Washing your child’s natural hair too often can dry it out and increase the odds of breakage. The tips below will help you create a shampoo schedule for African American kids that is the perfect balance. Just make sure you are using a gentle shampoo designed specifically for natural hair.
Curly hair is fragile and prone to breakage, dryness, and tangles so you must take extra care. FroBabies Hair has formulated our products to be safe for little ones 12 months and older. If your infant isn’t quite old enough yet, we suggest using baby-safe formulas on their hair, no more than twice per week. If their hair is long for their age, dry, or frizzy, apply a tiny bit of food-grade oil (organic coconut oil is a top pick) to their curls to keep them soft and moisturized. Once they are old enough follow the kid’s curly hair routine below.
Are you the parent of a curly haired baby, toddler, or little one? As you already know curly hair has special needs.

This means typical “kid-friendly” haircare products won’t meet your needs. Here’s how to choose the right products for your curly haired cuties.
