Wash days can be dreadful if your child has tight curls that can be painful to wash and manipulate. This is why many parents and women with natural hair often don’t look forward to wash days. To reduce pain and friction, it’s best to start with detangled hair and wash her hair in sections.
To get started, you can try one of these detangling conditioners or co-wash conditioners to soften your hair and fully detangle before washing your hair.
