5 Easy Hair Tips for Kids

🧴 Use a DetanglerStart the day off right by making brushing a breeze. A spray detangler helps prevent knots and keeps hair manageable, especially for long hair.

🛁 Condition in the ShowerIf your child’s hair gets extra knotty, have them comb conditioner through their hair while they’re still in the shower. This prevents tangles before they even start.

🧼 Make Sure Their Shampoo is Doing the JobKids' hair tends to hold onto dirt, sweat, and outdoor grime more than adults. A good shampoo routine ensures their hair stays fresh and clean.

🧑‍🏫 Teach Haircare Skills—Just Not on a School MorningTake time on a weekend to show your child how to brush, wash, and care for their hair. Giving them the skills now will make mornings easier in the long run.

💨 A Quick Blow-Dry Can Work WondersFor older kids and teens, blow-drying can help reduce that “greasy scalp” look that often happens overnight. Even a quick run-through can make their hair look fresher.

Helping Your Kids Learn Healthy Hair Habits

Being a parent is hard enough without adding hair struggles into the mix!

Teaching kids simple hair care habits will not only make mornings smoother, but also set them up for a lifetime of healthy hair.
