Keep them preoccupied
Keeping them preoccupied truly helps. Let them watch a movie or listen to music or play with a toy when you are doing their hair. It helps and will allow you to work through those tangles easier.

Try detangling products specifically created for kids
There are several detangling sprays, shampoos, and conditioners just for kids now that have extra slip to help those tangles unravel. Many have tear-free formulas that will not irritate their eyes and skin. Their ingredients list is pumped up with moisturizers to ensure their hair is soft, easy to manage and tangle-free. This is a must-have investment.

Use conditioners with tons of slip
This is a must as slip allows those tangles to just glide through. Kinky-Curly Knot Today is a favorite one as it harnesses the slip magic of marshmallow root and slippery elm. Never skip the conditioning step on wash day as that will help keep the hairs friction free.

Sleep on satin pillowcase or wear satin bonnet
Start introducing them to satin. First off, she will love it and secondly it will cut down on dryness and breakage. This is also helpful with deterring tangles so try a satin pillowcase or a satin bonnet for your toddler.

Enlist the help of wide tooth combs and de tangling brushes
They are a must to remove those tangles without yanking or breaking the hair. Many have cute styles and colors that will make the kids themselves want to use them and that can also help if she or he wants to aid in their hair care.

Don’t let it get too tangled
Do not put off removing those tangles as they will only get worse. If you see she has had a hard day of play and that hair is making its move to tangle, take out a few minutes with a kid’s de tangling spray, and work them out with a wide tooth comb or de tangling brush.
