TODDLER CURLY HAIR ROUTINE | Tips on curly hair care and styling for toddlers (CG Friendly) 

Thanks so much! I'm really am so glad you have found it helpful!

My daughter’s hair doesn’t look exactly like this. Her hair is straight at the top and towards the bottom it curls.

Definitely had to use the iPad to keep her seated for this long but she is used to it now.

Same! Honestly if it wasn't for her hair I wouldn't have learnt how to properly looked after my own curls!

Wonderful job!

what Is CG method?

Check the previous comment. Thanks for watching

Good luck! The trick is in getting the hair really saturated with water and then adding a good conditioner. Let me know how you go!

No worries, thanks for watching!

Absolutely, let me know how you go with it!

So great to connect, thanks for watching!

You are so welcome!

Hey! So I have a video on the spray. As for the comb it's scrunchie brand and I got it from big w in Australia. The towel from chemist warehouse but you can just use any microfibre towel or even an old cotton t shirt to dry the hair. It can also make it easier if you switch their towel to microfibre and use that for their whole body too.

No worries, I hope it helps!

Awesome! I'm so glad I could help you out!

​@@ErzabetNarcotticarhey can you tell me where to get the brush please and what gel do you use

Thanks for watching

Yes they are all cgm approved. I have a separate video on how I make the detangler, it's super simple.

Can definitely relate, my hair is wavy, my daughter got her thick curls from her Croatian Dad 😀

I have a video for the detangling spray in the description, thanks for watching our video!

Thanks! Glad it helped!

You got this!

A styler absolutely helps but it depends on how much your kid moves 😅 You could try putting it in a high lose pony just while driving (called a pineapple) or there are silk caps for kids which can protect their hair. If it's a special event I will take a spray bottle and brush and restyle it when we get there 🤣

I'm so glad I could help! 😊

Wow thanks so much for your message! I'm so glad it has been useful for you and your Ava!

My daughter's name is Ava too and she has fine curly hair. Mine is super straight so I had no idea how to manage her hair and most products I see are for different textures.

I'm so glad I could help!

We use one from Scrunchie and also one from lady Jane

If your kid doesn't mind noise than you can diffuse her hair with a hairdryer to dry it. Otherwise if you need to walk outside you might need to consider doing a protective style at night light plaits or braids which she can wear straight from bed out into the world. I live in Australia so it doesn't get that cold here, sorry! Good luck and if you find a good solution leave a comment incase someone else needs to info

Intersting that her hair is dry after a bath, I would try adding more water with your conditioner and then giving it some more squishes. Also add a tiny bit of conditioner back in before you dry her hair so there is always some in there. Let me know how you go and good luck!

@pennystars5965 I am facing the same problem . After 24 hrs of shampoo the hair is all dry and frizzy. Hard to untangle even though I use a conditioner for her. 🥹🥹

My daughter goes through stages of this, I end up just putting lots and lots of ties in her hair and braids which tend to stay in even when the ties come out. Good luck!

@@amyofmelbourne oh good idea thank you 😃

From around 1 when her hair started to get longer and knotty

Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome!

I buy my products either at chemist warehouse in Australia or, the curl shop or everescents direct. I have the video for the spray linked in the description. Thanks so much for watching our little video and your comment!

Yeah of course, I have a video with the spray, but it's 90% water, 9% conditioner and 1% either lavender or eucalyptus spray. You can also add some homemade flax seed gel and that will give it hold all in one step

It's definitely a journey. I didn't even know I had curly hair until I started researching for my daughter. Good luck with your alligator!

Absolutely! You can definitely cut down on the shampoo though as I'm sure he rarely gate it super dirty.

Absolutely

I used it with my daughter at that age and it was fine, some people have found build up. If she has sensative skin or very fine hair then everescents no fragrance range is amazing, but it's a lot more expensive and only online. Good luck!

If you are finding that her hair is looking weighed down or it gets itchy at all then decrease the amount of product or change to something lighter. It takes a while to find tune the amounts that you are using, give yourself time and grace to work it out. Good luck!

The US actually has way more options! As a starting place I woul;d recommend either Shea Moisture or Cantu, they both ahve kids ranges. Good luck!

Hey lovely! I have a video dedicated to how I make her detangling spray! Let me know if you want to know about anything else!

Hey, I actually made a dedicated video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lYVvAY9Lmxg.html

Cantu kids or everescents

In Australia I use goats conditioner, daniel hansen hemp conditioner, or my absolute favourite Everescents! We use the fragrance free shampoo and conditioner, its brillliant! If you are from another country you will need to seardch for curly girl friendly products. Also have a look for local curly girl or curly kids facebook groups, they are very helpful!

Also like to know where do you get the hairbrush? Xx

Hi! So we have used a couple of brands but the best so far is everescents which is an independent Australian brand. We also like Cantu kids range. I add some of her regular conditioner to water and a drop of lavender oil and spray that in the morning. We also like Gaia baby detangling spray and Cantu kids conditioning spray. To finish her hair I either use the Cole's gel or the curly girl mousse from everescents. The brush was originally from Big W and I think it was the scrunchi brand

Hey! I'm so so glad you have found the video helpful! I wash my daughter's hair after daycare so for us that's 3 times a week but if you child is super clean and not coming home with handfuls of sand in their hair you could honestly stretch out to washing once a week. To refresh I just do the morning routine section of the video, or if her hair is really knotty, I wet, condition and brush in the bath without the shampoo section. As for a gel alternative I really like Cantu kids "custard" or if you have a Priceline the shae moisture range is great and we get the curl smoothie. If your happy to shop online I highly recommend everescents products but .ale sure you get unscented for a more child friendly option. I hope this helps!

@@amyofmelbourne Thank you so much :)) , it really does help! It's so hard to find videos and products on CGM, for kids, in Australia!

@@nirikshajacob1403 that is absolutely true and honestly why I made the video once we found a good routine. My daughter is now 3 and a half and the same routine still works!

@@amyofmelbourne Amazing :-) Thank you soo much for sharing. I cant wait to try this out for her. Will let you know the result 😊 I have curly hair myself so wondering if it would work for me too!

@@amyofmelbourne What website do you use for everescent products and specifically what products do you like to use? :-)

No probably once a week. I shampooed and conditioned twice a week when she was this little because she would put sand etc in her hair but she's older now and I can cut back to once a week.

Absolutely, I made a whole video on it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lYVvAY9Lmxg.html Hope it helps! When in doubt, add more water! Remember to always take it slow. Good luck!

Most of these were either purchased online or from chemist warehouse in Australia. Online I shop at the Curly Store

Rewards, distraction, bribery. To be honest, I find the best strategy to be consistency. Do it everyday and it gets easier as it becomes part of the routine of your day. Good luck!

Which country are you in?

I'm so glad, thanks for watching!

No her hair looked straight until about 8 months when she got a cow lick

If I need to comb or brush her hair it must be wet and must have a bit of conditioner or detangler in it. Water definitely won't dry out their hair. As my daughter has gotten older I'm able to put her hair in braids or a protective style and then I don't need to brush every day.

😂😂😂😂😂

So glad I could be helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️

Hey I actually made a video explaining it in full.

Thats gorgeous! Using the mousse, gel or custard at the end actually helps so much to maintain the mousture and only wash wiuth shampoo once a week if possible. Obviously if they are little, this isnt always possible but you can condition the hair without needing to wash to help moisturise it.

Highly recommend everescents products. We have also used Cantu Kids and Shea Moisture products and they have been great. If you want a completely natural alternative for gel to lock in moisture, you can make your own by boiling some flax seeds in plain water and then straining. It's super easy and very good for your hair.

@amyofmelbourne oh thanks a lot for your reply hon 😘 yes I have used cantu kids, which although smelled gorgeous, the chemicals inside it bugged me... yes of course!!! I used flaxseed a long time ago for my hair, I didn't think of it for my daughter..many many thanks xx

Hey, started using onmy daughters hair when she was 1. If you want something specifically for kids, Cantu has a kids range or you can use Gaia shampoo and moogoo conditioner

@@amyofmelbourne thank you. My daughter is 8 months but she has very long fine curly hair. Similar to your daughter’s

@@pazadenooo so cute!!!

Yeah your right

CG stands for Curly Girl, which is a method of haircare. To find out if a product is Curlky Girl, you can use the Curlbot webite.

🤣 honestly it's all about the routine of it. If you do it daily, even if some days you literally brush it once, it helps them get used to it and actually find comfort in the ritual. Good luck!

No worries at all! Good luck, it's not easy but it's so beautiful when you get there!

Thanks for your suggestion. Coconut oil forms a waterproof barrier over the hair is used long term and makes hair hydrophobic. This film cannot be removed with mild shampoo and a shampoo with harsh sulphates would be needed to strip it from the hair. Have you tried the curly girl method? I only use 3 products, a shampoo, a conditioner and a gel. So only 1 more product than what you are suggesting. Thanks for your comment and have a fabulous day!

@@amyofmelbourne what products do you use please? I heard you mention the Gaia shampoo & conditioner, have noted down your homemade detangler but which brand of gel and other products do you use please?

@@roz7158 at the moment we use everescents fragrance free. In the past we have used Cantu kids, Gaia shampoo and Goats conditioner in original. Everescents is our absolute favourite but it is much more expensive than the other brands. Akin and Shea moisture also have some lovely products but unfortunately my daughter is allergic to those brands.

Heavy oils like coconut actually don't work very well at all on super fine hair.

Thanks for the feedback, however the products I have used on my daughter are low rox and do not contain sulphates, silicones, alcohols etc. They are curly girl approved and are very safe for toddlers. The gaia products in particular are well worth looking into, they are lovely!

@@amyofmelbourne i think they maybe misunderstood you! Gaia and garnier sound similar 😅

Thanks for the feedback. I can assure you I am never rough with her hair. The video is sped up so it makes it look a lot rougher than it actually is.

You’re doing an amazing job. Everyone can see how much love and care you’re putting into your little girl to Make sure her hair is well maintained .

well you can go ahead and do your child's hair loose and not right and leave this mom alone. :) yeah two years ago but just am finding this video sorry for late response. but I absolutely hate people judging others on their parenting. little girl isn't complaining right ? she's fine. she's so happy and well behaved, such a sweetie. love it.

Needs must, though she is 5 now and doesnt need to watch anything and has her hair done everyday. She even does it herself sometimes!

Thanks so much for watching, I really hope it helps! Let me know if you have any questions ☺️
