    Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Conditioner/Detangler

    Vanessa M.:  If you struggle with detangling a head full of snarls on your children each morning, this all-natural hair product is a must-have. Kinky-Curly Knot Today is a leave-in conditioner and detangler that uses the power of organic mango, slippery elm, and marshmallow root to make combing through tangles a breeze. Use it as a leave-in conditioner after your child's bath or apply as needed to detangle.

    Wet Brush

    Kelly R:  Get the Wet Brush for your kids and never worry about having to pick out another hairbrush ever again! It works miracles on tangles, and is the only one I use for my daughter's long hair. Use it right after the shower or bath on wet hair, and it's amazing how easily it will glide through with little effort on even thick or curly tresses. Start at the bottom of the hair, brushing gently, and work your way up!

    Turbie Twist

    Kelly R:  These clever towels help to cut drying time post-shower, which makes life so much easier when your kids have long hair! My daughter uses the cotton one, but there is also a microfiber option for curly hair. One size fits both kids and adults, so mom can use them too!

    Continuous Mist Hair Spray Bottle

    Kelly R:  This was a game changer in my house, especially for my teen boy who wakes up with epic bedhead but doesn't like to use product in his hair. The bottle sprays regular water in an ultra-fine continuous mist, so you get good coverage without having to pump over and over again. He'll use it to wet his hair down in the morning, give it a good brush, and he's ready to go.

    Daiso Ring Hair Bands

    Alexandra F.:  After years and years of searching, I finally found the perfect hair bands! These hair bands from Daiso are somehow super strong AND stretchy, so they hold hair up well, are easy to twist, don't break easily, and are the perfect size to fit comfortably around an adult or kid-sized wrist. They come in basic black along with these colorful tie dye patterns.

    The Honest Company Conditioner

    Kelly R:  We love this lightweight and hydrating hair conditioner that helps soften hair and eliminate frizz. It's available in scent options that complement the Honest shampoo and body wash, and is gentle enough to use on the whole family - even for baby care!

    Fairy Tales Detangling Spray

    Kelly R:  This is the best detangler spray with natural ingredients, and I repurchase it every time we run out! After trying a bunch of different detangling products for kids on my daughter's long hair, I felt that this one was the best value and the generous size means it lasts much longer. Just spray and brush for smooth and frizz-free hair.

    Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel Conditioning Spray

    Kelly R:  I have been using this spray in my daughter's hair every morning before school for the past few years to protect against lice, and so far we have had no problems (knock on wood!). It contains a blend of organic rosemary, citronella, tea tree and geranium oils to protect against lice naturally.
