Before you book

For curly kids, ask the stylist to show you the detangling routine they use — the right home routine matters more than any single product.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make detangling easier after the cut?

The right cut helps — layers that remove bulk in thick hair, and ends kept healthy in fine hair — plus detangling when wet with conditioner, from the ends upward. The collection’s guides cover the routine step by step.

What do I ask my stylist or barber for?

Ask for a cut suited to your child’s hair type: for curls, length that allows for spring and easy detangling; for fine hair, blunt ends that look fuller.
