Look—we’ve all done these. Every single one.
But if you want healthy curls and peaceful mornings, avoid these traps:
Mistake #1: Brushing Dry Curls
Instant frizz. Instant triangle hair. Instant regret.
Only detangle wet + conditioned.
Mistake #2: Washing Too Often
Curly hair doesn’t get greasy as fast.
Over-washing = frizz, dryness, breakage.
Mistake #3: Using Heavy Oils as the Main Routine
Coconut oil is not a leave-in conditioner.
Olive oil does not moisturize.
Oil seals moisture—it doesn’t provide it.
Mistake #4: Skipping Nighttime Protection
One cotton pillowcase can undo your entire routine.
Satin = smoother mornings.
Mistake #5: Using Adult Products
Kids’ scalps are more sensitive.
Adult gels, mousses, and treatments are too harsh.
Mistake #6: Not Learning Your Kid’s Porosity
Porosity tells you how much moisture the hair absorbs.
This alone changes EVERYTHING.
The Fix?
Keep it simple.
Moisture, protection, gentle products, patience.
Curls flourish with love—not force.
