Children's Hair Detangler: Tips for Kids and Toddlers

Children's Hair Detangler: Easier Brushing for Kids and Parents

Stubborn knots after sleeping, playing, or washing hair can turn a simple brushing routine into a challenge. Hair Hero is a lightweight detangling spray made to help a comb or brush move more easily through tangled hair. It was originally created by Avery at age 11 after her own experiences with knots and her family's synthetic wigs.

How to detangle children's hair with less pulling

1. Start with a gentle brush or wide-tooth comb and work in manageable sections.
2. Shake Hair Hero well. Spray onto damp or dry hair, keeping the spray away from the eyes and face.
3. Hold each section above the knot and begin combing at the ends.
4. Work gradually toward the roots rather than pulling through a large tangle at once.
5. Repeat as needed, taking extra care around delicate or tightly knotted areas.
