Hi my little boy is nearly 2 and he is mixed Zimbabwean and white he has different tones of curls in his hair to bottom of his head he has loose curls and top of his head is more like a Afro type curls every day his hair needs saturating but it matts so quick his curls go to frizzy knots please help because I hate brushing his hair it hurts him I’ve tried wetting we use only curls and cantu products and aloe Vera coconut oil curl cream and detangle stuff it still hurts him even brush in bath so my question is
Can I braid his hair to help him with maintenance and get like a wave hair cap for bed ? What else can I do to help him to stop the matted hair
I’m a bit worried about getting his hair braided cause he’s so small and still his hair is delicate he has beautiful curls too please can anyone advise or help thanks

That picture is literally my baby girls hair. I’m Zambian.
I use a kids tangle teaser, nalas baby leave in and blue magic. Basically I shampoo her hair twice a week to avoid drying it and detangle before that, after her bath I use blue magic. And then to style I detangle/ wet her hair, add the leave in and finger rake it.
I have tried to do cornrows and because she’s 9m, it actually doesn’t last 😅 but she’ll definitely be getting braids in the future, just gentle ones.
I don’t think a wave cap is what you want, maybe a satin one? And an evening hair routine.
Hope that was useful it’s hard typing it all out!
