My second daughter had the most beautifuls ringlets as a littleone. Now here hair is super straight….go figure

Embrace your curls! Curly hair is beautiful. Clean curls are lovely. Let them boing as far as they want I say!

I would never have realised what needed to be done for curly hair if I didn’t read this. I thought it was just like straight hair, wash condition comb.

Until I was a bit over l y.o. I have very little but fine hair which as it grew was very wavy – not curly as such. Later I developed chronic tonsilitis. Due to the severity of it I had to have antibiotics. Often I had an ear infection either not long before the tonsilitis too. The wax would drain out onto my pillow and I would wake up screaming (not just crying) according to my parents and one of my Aunties. She often visited once a week or fortnight. My hair gradually straightened to just soft waves. The hairdresser showed Mum how to gently comb the waves in and clip them until my hair was dry provided she didn’t let it grow too long.

Thanks for these great tips

Let curly hair be as it is. The locks will drop as the hair grows. A lot of people love curly hair yet kids can be fussy, explaining to your kids curly hair is special.

Great tips as I have curly hair and have been using elevive conditioning as it is helping it stay soft and curls defined and I used Taft strong hold mouse too so it doesn’t look buffyy

These are great tips! My son had beautiful blonde curly hair that I did allow to grow but now that he is older he likes it cut short so no curls now.

Great tips. My daughter has very curly hair.

These are some great tips. I think my Mum couldn’t have used these tips when I was little. Hard to believe when I was a toddler I had very tight curls and now my hair just has a bit of a wave to it.

Ultra Organics chamomile conditioner- leave in and then squish in and leave in ultra organics clear henna wax! My 2 best friends! I use the henna mixed with coconut oil everyday with my own version of curly girl and I use it with my 3 year son whom I wash his hair once or twice a week with no nasties! His curls are gorgeous. Embrace what u have and make the most of it!

Thanks for the tips, I have thick wavy hair and often too look like a character from Fraggle Rock.

Have to admit I am still wondering what trick Verity taught her.
She does seem to reply on the odd one or two or more products though.

Some good tips. The writer of this article states she washes the hair of her toddler with nasties free shampoo and conditioner 2-3 times per week. Personally I wouldn’t think to wash the hair of my toddler that often. With one of my foster kids I did coconut oil in the hair. We never cut in layers, as same length gives more possibilities to do things with the hair (tails, buns, plats, braids).

This article has raised issues I had never even been aware of for those people with curly hair. It seems way more demanding then I first thought

We us e a fantastic Garnier detangling spray which really helps.

Layers for sure with curly hair!

I have very wavy hair but have to follow these rules. I try to follow it r my curly haired toddler but Dad with a family of dead straight hair doesn’t understand and keeps telling me to brush it. Maybe one day he’ll realise doing it his way means frizz and messy hair

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I have wavy hair that drives me nuts.

Is there ways to control curly hair? I look at sone people with curly hair and actually think how cool it would be to just jump out of bed and not worry about brushing your hair. Most of them look like they don’t brush
