California Baby Hair De-tangler Spray - Calming, 8.5 Ounce

 (9 customer reviews)

I purchased this product last spring to help de-tangle my toddler's hair. Back then, she was only 14 months old and still had short (but curly) hair. Even then, this didn't really help us comb out the tangles in her hair. It DID help define her curls once her hair was already combed, plus it did add shine - which was nice. I followed the directions on the bottle and used this when her hair was still wet. I also tried using a conditioner first and also tried using this when her hair was dry. It still didn't help de-tangle.

Now that she's 22 months old, she has hair that goes almost down to her shoulders when it's wet. Her hair is fine and she has lots of tight Little Orphan Annie curls. With her hair now being longer, this stuff no longer does anything for it at all. In fact, I'd say that it even dries her hair out. After using this, her hair turns into a frizzy mess in a matter of hours. Her hair seriously looks better WITHOUT this product in it.

I bought this when I bought my daughter a bottle of California Baby Calming Shampoo and Body Wash. I wanted a detangler with a scent that complimented the scent of her shampoo.

I'm very glad I did. It seems expensive, but the bottle lasts quite a long time. It definitely works, my daughter has very few tangles. There are a few occasional little stubborn knots that this doesn't help with, but those are just an inevitable side-effect of childhood and curly hair and I doubt anything but a stern brushing could help with those. I never brush, comb, braid, or otherwise style my daughter's hair without first wetting it down with this. It also tames the massive frizzies she gets after sleeping or swimming.

She has a copious amount of very fine, very curly hair. Often times, she looks like Einstein with ringlets. If this works for her crazy locks, it should work for just about any hair type.

This product is pricey, but I bought it anyway because it is natural and I get worried about the chemicals I put on my little girl. Anyway, it might be as natural as water, but it is completely ineffective as a detangler. My little girl has curly fine hair that tangles easily, and this product did nothing for her. At first I thought that maybe I wasn't using enough, but sprayed and sprayed and still nothing. I've tried it on wet hair and on dry hair. It doesn't make a difference. Her hair may have smelled like flowers, but it was extremely brittle and tangled when I tried to pass it through with a comb. This is the most useless product ever, and I am really disappointed with California baby. This works as well as water, but water is cheaper!
