Mornings with little ones are often a whirlwind, with breakfast, getting dressed, and the rush to start the day. Curls are affected the most while sleeping, and wriggly kids inevitably equal fluffy hair and stubborn tangles in the morning. You want those cute, bouncy curls to shine, but you definitely don't want the tears or the 20-minute styling battles when you're already running late. The good news? You don't have to choose between healthy hair and getting to the school gates on time. 

Here is how to revive toddler and kids' curls in record time:

Spritz the hair with a hydrating detangling spray and gently work through overnight knots, starting from the ends and working your way up using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. 

Pro Tip for Thick Hair: If you're dealing with stubborn knots, section the hair and lightly mist with water before applying the detangling spray for added slip. If you prefer using a brush, make sure it’s specifically designed for gentle detangling to protect those delicate curls!

If the curls need some extra moisture and bounce, smooth and scrunch a little lightweight leave-in conditioner (or styler) into the hair. This helps reform the natural curl pattern and instantly smooths away that morning frizz.

You can simply leave the hair to air-dry while they eat breakfast, or give it a super-quick diffuse. For added definition and zero frizz, gently scrunch the curls with a soft microfibre towel to absorb any excess moisture.

And... you’re done! Schoolbags on, shoes tied, and out the door with gorgeous, fuss-free curls in five minutes flat.
