My 5 Go-To Hair Care Tips for Boys with Textured Hair

In the quest to embrace the beauty of natural hair, we understand the importance of caring for all hair types. Whether your son's hair is blessed with curls, coils, or waves, we have compiled a list of top tips to assist you in nurturing their textured hair. Our hair care line, Young King, perfectly complements these tips, ensuring your king's hair looks and feels its best.

For parents and guardians who may not have the same hair texture as their kids, it can be challenging to know precisely what their hair needs. If you often find yourself searching for "how to care for natural textured or Black hair" and "natural hair tips," you've come to the right place. Let's explore the top five tips for caring for your son's natural hair.

1. Moisture is a Must

Natural black hair tends to be naturally prone to dryness, so keeping it moisturized is crucial. During the wash routine, focus on nourishing their hair thoroughly. Avoid products that may cause dryness and opt for a gentle cleanser like our Moisturizing Shampoo, specially designed for natural Black hair. PS- Kings, don't wash too frequently or you'll strip your hair from it's natural oils!

2. Make Conditioner Your Hair's New BFF

Embrace caring for your child's Black hair as a moment of self-care. Conditioner plays a vital role in textured hair care routines. We recommend a plant based infused Conditioner, which hydrates and nourishes natural Black hair, providing optimal care.

3. Use a Detangling Comb

Naturally coily and curly hair is prone to tangling and breakage. After conditioning your child's hair, use a detangling comb while it's still wet. This step helps distribute the product from roots to ends, ensuring strength and moisture for natural Black hair.

4. Post Washing, Lock in the Hydration

Kids Hair is delicate, especially when wet. Now that the crown is refreshed, be sure to squeeze out any excess water with your hands. It's critical to maintain hydration by first applying a leave-in conditioner after washing

Pro Tip: Use a microfiber towel or a cotton shirt to wrap their hair to limit frizz!

5. Finish the Look with a Styling Cream for Nourishing Hydration

Remember, natural Black hair craves moisture. Our Young King Hair Care Curling Cream, water based Pomade, or our styling foam Hair Mousse which is specially formulated for textured hair, enhancing your child's natural curl pattern while providing nourishment.

Are you parent that's seeking solutions to help your son's hair? Are you frustrated with using lower quality products that leave his hair feeling dry and unmanageable? And are you tired of being forced to use products that weren't crafted with young men in mind?

Then you're like me. I experienced these frustrations when searching for hair products for my son Kade. After recognizing that there were no affordable, high quality products that represented young men with textured hair who look like my son, I decided to create Young King.

Parents of young men with textured hair should not have to sacrifice quality and utilize several different hair care products that too often fall short of their desired results.

Plus, I firmly believe representation is so important. Any young man should be able to see himself in the products that he uses. Because when he looks good, he feels good.

Young King is here to simplify hair care routines to make it easy for you and your son to care for his hair, so you don't have to waste time figuring out which products to use and in which order.

Leveraging the magic of plant based ingredients, we curated a bundle that helps you put his hair care regimen on autopilot...

Inspired by our son Kade and leveraging our 10+ years of corporate experience as executive leaders at a Fortune 500 companies, my husband and I created Young King to foster a more inclusive beauty industry for Black and Brown young men.

We're here to encourage the next generation to show up as their full authentic selves, which comes from self-love and taking pride in their self-care.

What parents are saying about us...

“I tried this for my son's hair and I love it! This product really defined my son's hair and really made it nice. I have been hesitating to get my son's haircut since he hadn't had one before but no product was working for his definition and with this product I can put the haircut off a little longer. This product far surpassed any expectations that I had for it. After I did his hair, my son was so proud that he walked over and posed. I will not use anything else for my son! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this product!”
