Parents and caregivers of children with curly, wavy, or textured hair who want a fragrance-free, paraben-free detangling and styling product; works across fine to coarse kids' curl types.

It's built for at-home use during and after bath time, with no styling experience required - it's meant to be finger-styled and air-dried rather than combed or heat-styled.

Kids' curly hair tangles and frizzes easily, and many adult leave-ins are too heavy, fragranced, or harsh for a child's scalp. This one is built around a lightweight amodimethicone-and-PVP combination that adds slip and hold without much buildup, so hair can be finger-styled and air-dried instead of combed through while dry - which is usually where the tugging and tears happen. Being colorless and fragrance-free also means it won't stain light hair or introduce a scent a sensitive child might react to.

• Apply to soaking-wet hair and scrunch through from roots to ends
• Wring gently with fingers to distribute product and remove excess water
• Air dry, or use a diffuser or hooded dryer on low heat for a faster dry (skip towel-drying or blow-drying with heat, which can add frizz)
• Leave the product in - do not rinse it out
• On non-wash days, re-wet hair, add a small amount more, and finger-style to refresh curls

Pros:

• Fragrance-free and paraben-free, making it less likely to irritate sensitive scalps than many adult-formulated leave-ins
• Leave-in application skips a separate rinse step during bath time
• Amodimethicone adds slip that helps reduce the tugging common when detangling kids' curly hair

Cons:

• Contains a silicone (amodimethicone) and a chemical UV filter (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate), so it isn't suited to households wanting a fully natural or silicone-free kids' product
• As a leave-in, it can build up over repeated uses without an occasional clarifying wash
• No age range is specified by the brand, so caregivers of very young children may want to patch-test first
