Have a little one with curly or wavy hair? Do you struggle to take care of it? Well you’re not alone! Having wavy/curly hair myself I know the struggles of maintaining it. Through trial and error, I’ve learned several tips over the years that work best for me. But, once I started having kids, who all happen to have wavy/curly hair, I was back at square one.

That was until I finally found the right product that worked for them. It’s JOHNSON’S® Curl Defining Kids’ Hair products.

Both of my daughters have really curly hair. I see just how curly it gets when we’re in humid areas, like Florida. But, their hair typically falls flat and seems like it is slowly losing its curl, which I know it’s not. I’ve tried what works on me, but I personally don’t like to use styling products in my kids’ hair. I find that after a day their hair becomes incredibly difficult to manage. So when looking for a product I wanted to focus on a shampoo & conditioner that would get the job done. When I found the JOHNSON’S Curl Defining Kids’ Hair Gift Pack at Walmart, I had to give it a try and I’m so glad I did! The gift packs are available at Walmart while supplies last.

JOHNSON’S Curl-Defining Kids’ Hair Gift Pack comes with: 1 Curl-Defining Kids’ Shampoo with Shea Butter, 1 Curl Defining Kids’ Leave-In Conditioner, and a bonus ball-tipped bristle brush. The Curl Defining Shampoo is hypoallergenic and enriched with Shea butter. It helps smooth frizzy hair, is sulfate & paraben-free, and their No More Tears formula is extra gentle. The Curl Defining Leave-In Conditioner will moisturize & define your toddler’s waves & curls for 24 hours. Learn more about JOHNSON’S® Kids Hair Care here!

How to Care for Wavy Curly Hair

Want to know my tips & tricks to better Care for your Daughter’s Wavy Curly Hair? Here they are:

Never brush DRY curly hair. I’m always so tempted to do this, especially after my daughter throws a blanket over her head and is left with a rat’s nest of hair. But you have to resist!
Instead, comb curly hair in the shower when wet.
Use JOHNSON’S Curl-Defining Kids’ Shampoo with Shea Butter. It’s specially formulated to be gentler on toddlers’ & kids’ developing hair than adult hair products.

Use JOHNSON’S Curl-Defining Kids’ Leave-In Conditioner. I work from the bottom up, making sure the tips of the hair are well moisturized.
Never use a regular towel to dry curly hair as it causes frizz.
I prefer to let their hair air dry, but if you need to dry it quickly (like before bed) then use a hair dryer diffuser on medium/low heat.

I try to teach my daughters all these tips, but most importantly I’m trying to teach them to love their curls. Just after a couple washes I have noticed a huge difference. Both my girls curls are coming back to life, especially towards the roots. See below for before & afters!

Not only are these Curl Defining Gift Packs great for your kids, they’re also perfect to gift for families with young kids this holiday season. These gift sets are exclusive to Walmart, and you can find them in the baby needs section of the personal care aisle.
