frizzy hair on kids and gel  

As far as I know, gel is safe for kids. I see parents gelling their little boys hair up in spikes all the time. Her hair is sooo curly! How cute! I would just try to stay away from the strong smelling gels and if it says anything about not using it on kids on the label then I'd ask the doctor just to make sure. I'm sure it wouldn't ruin her hair or anything.

My daughter had thick curly hair when she was younger and I did not put anything in it. I just brushed it out and let if fall. The other thing I would do is use a pick to make it lay nice. Have you tried a shampoo by johson and johnson that controls frizz? I think kids hair is so nice when they are young.

I think its fine to put gel in kids hair, I suppose it the same as any other hair product.
My hair is curly and I put Brylcreem in it everyday. I love the smell and it really controls my frizz!
I bet your daughter will love all the pampering!!

I use to put it in my son's hair when he was like 1 so I don't think it is harmful or anything. I use to be picky about my daughter's hair if we went anywhere but not that I have two kids it is hard enough to get one looking good =) She is little if it doesn't bother her or you I wouldn't worry about it!

If you don't want to use gel all the time, you could try a really good leave-in conditioner. My son's mixed, so he has silky, extremely curly hair. A few drops of leave-in conditioner keep it manageable for quite a while.

A frizzy hair is not good to look at. Using gels can be costly. I have a friend who has that kind of frizzy, fly away hair but she manage it through the use of hair conditioners made of aloe vera. Its really good and hair shampoo on a daily basis is also right for her.

For kids there are gels meant for kids you may buy one for your kid. Not use the gel you are using...

Hi poppoppop, I was thinking do they have special stuff for kids?
I bought my Grand daughter some new products, (but not that). They have such a wide range of things they didn't use to have, I was amazed! Anyway if you don't use it all the time, I wouldn't see that it would hurt, but I'm not an expert! :)

My 5 year old gets really strange hair when it gets a little longer. Like it sort of spikes up all in the back, hehe. So hard to explain! In between haircuts when it starts to get like that though, I put some gel in it after his bath so it stays down "flat" as he likes it! I think it's okay as long as it's a small amount, i see tons of kids with gel.

Moose works also if you ever want to try something different. Gel isn't bad for kids hair that I know of.

They have a lot of stuff on the market for frizzy hair for kids.

My daughters hair is really frizzy, we use a straightner for her hair and it works really well. But on the days I want to show her curls off, I use moose. It's not as sticky as gel.

It is perfectly safe to put gel in kids hair as long as it is not plastered all over the scalp and it can breathe.

The only thing that I think some parents need to watch out for is the child becoming vain or thinking that they can't live without it. You really don't want her to develop a complex about it.

But I think you do a brilliant job so I am sure it will all be fine.
