If you have children, you have undoubtedly spent long moments of solitude during the eternal child's hair styling session, which always ends in tears, whether it's your child who at that precise moment "hates" you - yes, you know it well - or your "own" tears of despair...

So how can you make this moment go smoothly?

Ideally, style your little ones' hair after washing it.

1. Wash their hair with an extra gentle natural shampoo that doesn't sting their eyes. Don't hesitate to leave the shampoo on while the child is in the bath.

2. Apply a natural detangler and leave it on.

3. Detangle their hair with the detangler; this will make detangling easier. You can do this with a round brush or a large wide-tooth detangling comb. Start at the ends to avoid pulling their hair! Once the ends are detangled, gently work your way up to the roots.

4. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.

5. Hydrate with a natural vegetable oil or a moisturizing balm.

6. If your children have mixed hair, brush or comb their hair while it is still damp and make one or two large braids so that the hair doesn't get tangled again during the night. Never leave hair loose, otherwise you'll have to start all over again immediately!

If your children have kinky hair, make them pretty braids or twists; you'll be worry-free for 2 to 3 weeks, and your little girls will look so beautiful!
Little mixed-race girls also appreciate having their hair braided, even if it doesn't last as long!
