Kraddle Kare Blog Series: “Sunny Days & Satin Ways”
Your toddler is officially in motion—from backyard dance parties to splash pad twirls—and all that sunshine and sweat can take a toll on their growing curls. The good news? You don’t need a 10-step routine to keep your toddler’s hair soft, hydrated, and thriving this summer.
You just need a few smart habits, a dollop of patience, and a whole lot of Kraddle Kare love.💜
1. Moisture Is the Mission
Summer heat zaps moisture fast—especially in toddlers with curls or coils. Before heading outside, apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner or aloe vera-based mist to help seal in hydration. Focus on:
● Water-based sprays with a touch of glycerin or aloe
● Light oils like almond or jojoba to seal in the moisture
● Avoiding heavy butters that trap heat
2. Choose Protective Styles That Move
Toddlers don’t sit still, and neither should their hairstyles. Summer is the perfect time for easy, breathable protective styles that can keep up with their energy. Great options include:
● Chunky two-strand twists
● Mini puffs or afro puffs
● Cornrows or flat twists to keep hair off the face
These styles not only help retain moisture but also reduce daily manipulation (read: fewer tangles, fewer tears).
3. Outdoor Play = Head Cover Time
While your Kraddle Kare satin bonnet shines indoors and during nap time, outdoor play calls for breathable sun protection. Use wide-brimmed sun hats to shield their scalp without overheating.
Pro tip: Slip on their satin bonnet for the ride home or a post-play nap to protect their hair from car seat friction and lock in any moisture they’ve got left.
4. Keep Wash Day Simple
With all the sweat, sunscreen, and sticky snack fingers, it’s tempting to over-wash—but that can dry out your toddler’s hair. Stick to washing once a week with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo or cleansing conditioner.
In between washes:
● Rinse with water after pool or beach days
● Use your leave-in + detangler mix for touch-ups
● Let them “help” with a spray bottle—it’s fun AND teaches care early!
