Kids’ Detangling Spray: A Guide to Easier Brushing

No Nasties Kids • Happy hair days

A little help with those everyday tangles

A knot at the back, a missing hair bobble and five minutes until you need to leave. Sound familiar?

A kids’ detangling spray, the right brush and a gentle approach can help make brushing easier. Here’s how to choose from the No Nasties Kids range and work through those tangles.

What does a kids’ detangling spray do?

Detangling spray helps a brush or comb move through tangled hair more easily. It’s useful when knots make everyday brushing a struggle. Choose a product intended for your child’s age and follow the application instructions on the bottle.

Which detangling spray should I choose?

Meet our two fruity favourites, each in a 250ml bottle.

Five steps to gentler brushing

Two children demonstrating brushing long hair with a No Nasties Kids detangling brush and pink detangling spray.
  1. Get comfortable. Let your child sit somewhere comfortable and explain that you’ll work through one small section at a time.
  2. Apply your detangler as directed. Follow the bottle instructions for application and wet or dry use.
  3. Start at the ends. Gently work through the lower tangles before gradually moving higher.
  4. Support each section. Hold the hair above the area you’re brushing to help reduce pulling at the scalp.
  5. Take your time. If the brush catches, pause and work on a smaller section. Take a break if your child is uncomfortable.

Make a little time for connection. A familiar book or favourite story can help turn brushing into a calmer part of getting ready.
