We’re getting an increasing number of questions from mothers, and some fathers, on what are the best products for biracial children’s hair. Many of these questions come from parents of curly-haired, biracial children or parents whose children have a hair texture different from their own. So we decided to break down some products in the market today that you should definitely check out!
Ouidad’s KRLY Kids
Ouidad are the self proclaimed curl experts and they have a product line specially for little ones so they too can reap the benefits of their expertise. The KRLY Kids line contains the No Time For Tears Gentle Daily Shampoo with a mild formula designed to cleanse a kid’s curls without the tear; the No More Knots 2-in-1 Leave-in Conditioner which doubles as a detangling rinse and leave-in moisture treatment preventing split ends; and the KRLY Kids Pump ‘N Go Curl Protecting Spray designed to refresh curls and protect them against humidity.
Mop Top’s FuzzyDuck Kids
Mop Top products have been around for 6+ years but their FuzzyDuck line for Kids is not even a year old and has been getting a lot of buzz all over the media. Created to help kids combat the issue of self image, this line aims to get kids started on the right frizz-free foot! FuzzyDuck caters for kids ages 2-10 years. The “tear free” formula has been featured on “Good Morning America’s” site, on “Good Afternoon America”, in Modern Salon, Cosmo girl, InStyle, Southlake Style, Living, and many other publications, with several of their products winning the Editors Choice for 2013.
Kids Haircare by Mixed Chicks
As the company name suggests Mixed Chicks is a product line that caters primarily for people with multi-cultural backgrounds. Seeing a gap in the market, the founders decided to create their own products to combat the unique haircare challenges they faced. The Kids Haircare line offers extensive options from shampoos, leave-ins and oils – all made with natural, tear free ingredients. Endorsed by Halle Berry herself, this line is worth testing out. They have a Kid Trial and Travel Sample Pack which you can purchase to test the products out before investing in the full sized bottles.
CurlyKids Mixed Hair Hair Care
CurlyKids Hair Care products have been specially developed for children with curly hair. CurlyKids products are sulfate and paraben free thus primary taking care of concerns such as excessive dryness, breakage and manageability. The best part about these products is that they aren’t sticky, greasy or heavy and are available at an affordable price. The line offers a full range of products including deep conditioners, shampoos, leave ins and styling aids all at just $5 each. What a bargain!
It’s A Curl!
It’s A Curl is the first product line created specially for baby’s curly hair. Formulated with certified organic extracts, botanicals and natural oils proven to calm, soothe and promote healthy hair and skin. Worth checking out is the Little Bo Peep Baby Hair Oil which was developed to tackle cradle cap before it even happens. Now that’s proactive. You can even use this product as a body oil since it’s so light.

I would add devushan to the mix. They don’t have a designated kids line but they say that’s because all their products are designed for all ages. Their decadence line has been the only product that has worked on my girls’ hair. I use their no poo and one condition and when their hair needs more love I use “Heaven in hair” mask.
