As excited as we are for sweaters and all things pumpkin, it’s pretty sad to think that summer is drawing to a close and soon it’ll be back to school for the kids. Transitioning back to a school schedule can be tough, but having a good routine when it comes to curl care can make your mornings easier. Having an arsenal of products, as well as a game plan can help your little curlies get out the door on time with a head of poppin’ curls.

For your little one with Type 4 coils, having the right types of products can make or break the curl care regime you use. Delicate Type 4 coils need extra moisturizing and TLC. Ensuring you’re using products with a great balance of moisture and protein can help develop and maintain healthy, easy to style curls. Here are some suggestions for products to add to your back to school shopping list based on your kiddo’s curl type.

Shampoo: Moisture Love Gentle Embrace Shampoo: This shampoo has a gentle, sulfate free foam that rinses away build up and impurities from your little’s curly strands. The shampoo bonds to strands, allowing moisture to stay locked in for longer amounts of time. This is a great shampoo to use when you cleanse your little curl’s once or twice a week.

Conditioner: Moisture Love Deep Indulgence Replenishing Conditioner: This conditioner has been described as “wonderful” but some of its users! For curls that are prone to dryness, this luscious shampoo has sage, chamomile, horsetail and nettle, which cleanses the scalp and hair shaft. This helps encourage long, strong and healthy curl growth. It also creates amazing slip and shine, making it that much easier to manage curls prone to tangles and knots.

Leave-in conditioner: Up North Naturals Go-2 Leave In Hair Milk: Since your little will need plenty of moisture, consider this rich, shiny leave in conditioner. It’s designed to penetrate the hair’s cuticle and then seal in moisture. It also works amazingly well as a detangler, which you’ll definitely need with your little one!

Styling product: Afroveda Curl Define: No matter if you’re letting your little’s curls go free, or are working them into twists or braids, this product will be your new go-to! It helps define curls, while adding instant moisture to make them easier to manage. This product works best on kinky, or very texturized curls, allowing them to be gently styled.
