Kandoo has created some hair care tips to help make parents lives easier when brushing tangles out of what feels like a rat’s nest. To get the kids involved, there are fun facts about hair such as how fast it grows, how much hair we have and why we need to take good care of it.
Hair Care Tips From Kandoo
- How frequently your child washes their hair is up to you. If their hair is oily, if they’ve been swimming, playing sports, or even rolling down a grassy hill, a good hair scrubbing may be in order. If their hair is dry, washing may occur less frequently.
- Teach your child to use their fingertips vs. fingernails when washing their hair for a gentle yet effective clean.
- If your child doesn’t like getting their face wet, help them wash and rinse their hair so as to avoid getting their face too wet. Using a tear free conditioning shampoo so you only have to wet and rinse hair one time (vs. two with traditional shampoos and conditioners) is a comforting and time-saving option.
- For longer hair that has a tendency to tangle, use a gentle detangler after washing such as Kandoo Detangler. Comb through hair beginning at the ends (in a downward motion) and gradually work up the hair shaft. Remember to clean your combs and brushes every few weeks.
- Teach your child that the most important thing they can do for their hair is to keep it clean and treat it gently regardless of their hair type (dry, curly, straight, or oily).
