How to Wash and Comb Curly Hair on Kids

Caring for curly hair can be challenging. It can be even tougher when your child has the curly hair. Does your daughter's hard to comb hair make her cry at the sight of a comb?

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Leave-In Conditioner
• Wide tooth comb
• Anti-breakage rubber bands

1. 

   Remove all hair accessories from your child's hair. Wet her hair with warm water. Using Johnson's Detangling Shampoo, create a rich lather and begin to massage throughout your child's hair.

2. 

   Rinse shampoo from your child's hair. Then add a generous amount of conditioner. Massage the conditioner throughout her hair.

3. Part into an even number of sections. The more sections you part into, the easier it will be to comb. THIS SHOULD BE DONE WITH CONDITIONER STILL IN HER HAIR.

4. Comb out each section of your child's hair while holding it with your hand firmly gripped near top of the section. Comb in a downward motion toward the ends of her hair.

5. Rinse all of the conditioner out of her hair and style her hair the way you would like to.
