💛 Understanding Your Child’s Hair
A Simple Guide for Parents
Every child’s hair is unique — just like them! And while hair texture often becomes more noticeable around age 2, caring for your little one’s hair and scalp starts from day one. At Official True Beauty, our natural oils are gentle enough for newborn skin, while our products grow with your child as their hair type develops.
Here’s a helpful guide to the four main hair types and how to care for them, especially from age 2 and beyond.
🌟 Type 1 Hair — Straight & Shiny
This hair type is smooth, sleek, and reflects shine easily. It’s strong and rarely tangles, but can get oily quickly.
How to care:
Use a gentle shampoo regularly to manage oil.
A light conditioner or a dab of our multi-use oil helps smooth flyaways.
Avoid heavy creams — straight hair loves lightweight moisture.
🌊 Type 2 Hair — Wavy & Soft
Type 2 hair has a natural “S” shape. It’s not quite straight, not quite curly, and often prone to frizz.
How to care:
Use leave-in conditioner or a water-based spritz.
Finger combing or using a wide-tooth comb works best.
Add a touch of oil or butter to enhance definition and calm frizz.
💫 Type 3 Hair — Curly & Full of Bounce
Curly hair forms loose to tight ringlets. It holds volume beautifully but can get dry if not moisturised properly.
How to care:
Use a leave-in conditioner or our hair butter to hydrate and define curls.
Detangle gently with fingers or a wide-tooth comb from ends to roots.
Avoid brushing when dry to prevent frizz.
🌿 Type 4 Hair — Coily, Textured & Beautiful
This type includes tight curls and coils, often dense with lots of shrinkage. It’s the most fragile and needs consistent moisture.
How to care:
Use butters and oils to seal in hydration and soften hair.
Gentle sectioning helps with detangling and styling.
Protective styles like twists or puffs work great for keeping hair healthy.
