Some tips (Thanks to Sharleen Februarie) on washing kids hair that is very curly.

Kids with Curly Hair

• Never brush curly hair. Curly hair is more delicate than straight hair. Brushing will roughen up the hair's cuticle, separate curls, and cause frizz. It also promotes split ends.

• Use only wide-tooth combs/ a handmade one or a seamless plastic comb also called a shower comb. The best combs for any hair type are seamless handmade combs. If the hair is too short for a big comb use a small seamless comb

• Shampoo a child's curly hair only once a week. Wet hair and apply a gentle moisturizing shampoo. Massage the shampoo into the hair and rinse thoroughly. Follow the shampoo with a moisturizing leave-in conditioner. Detangle the child's hair with the wide-tooth comb (from ends to root and be gentle). Let hair air dry to form curls or use your fingers to shape curls or twist up or braid hair immediately

• During baths between shampoo days, rinse the child's hair with lukewarm water (no shampoo). Wet hair and then gently massage the scalp to remove any debris. Rinse again with water. Add leave-in conditioner and comb through the curls to detangle.

• To remove tangles: Saturate the tangle with leave-in conditioner. Gently use fingers to untangle the hair. If this doesn't work, take a spray bottle filled with water and wet the tangled area. Next, apply a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to the tangle. Let the conditioner sit untouched for ten minutes. Carefully work out the tangle with your fingers. I know it will require patience but it’s better than cutting out a tangle

• Only use hair accessories that will not snag in the hair. Look for smooth elastics without rough edges. Elastics should not have metal parts.

• wrap up the childs hair in a satin scarve / bonnet at night

• Apply jojoba oil/ olive oil to your child's hair as a deep conditioner before shampooing it (maybe the evening before the wash day).

This is a really sensitive topic for me. Luckily I don't have a girl, but having really "kroes hare" can be a pain!! I always asked my mom why she didn't marry a man with with "better" hair. She just laugh and said that she always like to plate hair and the lord gave her me!! :laugh: :) :laugh:

A tip that works for me and my brothers LG is to put on Olive Oil the night before we was it. It softens it a bit and also looks healthier.
