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.
DETANGLING + LEAVE-IN CONDITIONING
Mandarin & Grape
Looking for help with knots and conditioning? Our Mandarin & Grape spray also works as a leave-in conditioner and contains curl-care-approved ingredients.
Its plant-based formula includes emu apple and chamomile extracts. We recommend using it on wet hair for best results.
Follow the current age guidance and directions on the bottle.

- Get comfortable. Let your child sit somewhere comfortable and explain that you’ll work through one small section at a time.
- Apply your detangler as directed. Follow the bottle instructions for application and wet or dry use.
- Start at the ends. Gently work through the lower tangles before gradually moving higher.
- Support each section. Hold the hair above the area you’re brushing to help reduce pulling at the scalp.
- 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.
