Mixed Hair Care

My little one is 11months old and has mixed hair texture, it's very curly and quite thick. I've tried different products and honestly not 100% sure what i am doing anymore, and recently he cries if I even try to do anything with his hair. Like to the point if I've started to try and style it and I literally touch him on the head he really kicks off and gets upset. We've tried Nalas Baby which was not enough, plus I reacted to it, and currently we've been using some cantu products. I will attach a photo for reference, but wondering if anyone has any recommendations for products/routine and how to get to a point he will allow me to do his hair as I don't want to traumatise him.

I use the as I am baby products and a wide tooth comb and make sure her hair is always wet and got leave in conditioner or lots of detangler before I try to brush it.They are quite good but my daughter’s hair isn’t as curly. I’ve found I have to do it when she’s not too tired otherwise it won’t go down well. I don’t know how you feel about screen time but if you don’t mind it maybe put something he likes on the telly to distract him? X

Ooh I think I've heard of that haircare brand before. Yeah I always wet it and I've tried with detangler, feel like I have to add so much as his hair gets quite dry. Which makes me think I'm not using enough or the right products. I've also tried screen time aswell, when he was a bit younger he would move a lot but I could get his hair done, nothing extravagant just simple styles that are quick and not too tight so he can get used to it. I will have a look at those products you've suggested though, thank you for your reply 😊💕

If you don’t already when washing babies hair comb it at the same time and at that point try part it in a 4 to make it easier to oil and comb after. Use a spray bottle and wet the hair. Always do it in parts. Use coconut oil get the unscented one stops you from having to wash babies hair all the time and try blue magic that really moisturises the hair deeper. Try avoiding washing hair everyday it’ll dry the hair out x
