Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the full curl routine?

For curly hair, yes. The shampoo lays the groundwork, cleansing without stripping natural oils so curls stay hydrated and healthy.

Curly Kiddo Conditioner is where the magic really happens, adding slip, definition, and frizz control. Add the No-Knot Detangler and tangles don't stand a chance, for soft, bouncy, happy curls.

Will this actually help my kiddo's curls?

Yes. Argan and Jojoba cleanse without stripping the natural oils curls need to stay healthy. Aloe and Shea Butter seal in moisture so hair doesn't dry out after washing. Enriched Rice Water and Soy Amino Acids strengthen each strand wash after wash.

Pair with Curly Kiddo Conditioner for slip, definition, and frizz control, and finish with Dream Curl Cream (yep, it's gentle enough for kids, too) for bouncy, defined curls that last.

Is it safe for toddlers and kids with sensitive scalps?

Yes and yes. It's dermatologist tested and made with naturally derived ingredients chosen specifically for little ones.

Free from sulfates, parabens, silicones, phthalates, artificial fragrance, and synthetic dyes. We always recommend keeping products away from eyes and checking the full ingredient list if your kiddo has a known allergy.

For extra sensitive scalps and skin, try our fragrance-free Sensitive line.

What makes this different from Dream Curl Shampoo?

This isn't just adult shampoo with a smaller label. It's formulated to be extra gentle, with kids' delicate hair and skin in mind.

It's free from sulfates, silicones, parabens and phthalates, along with common allergens. Plus, it's hypoallegenic and dermatologist tested. No PEGs, phenoxyethanol, or petroleum-derived ingredients, artificial fragrance or synthetic dyes.

Is the scent safe and natural?

Absolutely. Made from natural ingredients and meets GRAS (FDA) and ISO 16128 standards. No artificial fragrance or synthetic dyes. Made to smell like the best bath ever, naturally.

    Pretty packaging but disappointing product

    When I received my bottle of Curly Kiddo Shampoo I was very excited! The packaging is sooo cute! However, the product itself was disappointing. It has a very watery consistency and it didn't feel like it was coating the hair requiring me to use more and more on my daughters long hair. It did leave it clean after using a bunch of it but I didn't notice any change in her curls after using it consistently for about a month. It has a pleasant clean smell that is not overpowering.

    Smells amazing and a little goes a long way!

    A huge thank you to California Naturals for sending me this sample of their Curly Kids Shampoo to try as part of the BzzAgent sampling program. I was super excited to try this product, and when it arrived, I immediately loved the bottle design; it's so cute and colorful. My toddler enjoys playing with it during bath time. The shampoo smells amazing, and I love that you only need about a dime-sized amount because it lathers a long way. The only downside for me is that it left my kid's hair feeling very dry and brittle after rinsing. It's not a big deal if you use a nourishing conditioner, which is a must for curly hair, but I was worried about it drying out his fine curls. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to friends, and I'd love to try their conditioners and other products. I love knowing that it's made from natural ingredients and that I'm putting safe products on my child.

    Great

    I was pleasantly surprised by this shampoo. It has a fun watermelon scent that my kids really enjoy, but it's not overpowering and doesn't linger too long after washing. It lathers well for a more naturally derived formula, so a little goes a long way, and it rinses out easily. It leaves hair feeling clean without stripping away moisture, which is especially important for curly hair. After washing, the curls felt soft, bouncy, and easier to manage, with less frizz than we've experienced with some other shampoos. It also didn't leave any heavy residue behind. The only minor downside is that if your child uses a lot of styling products, you may occasionally need a stronger clarifying shampoo to remove buildup. For regular wash days, though, this has been a gentle, effective shampoo that keeps curls looking healthy and smelling great. I'd definitely buy it again.

    A new staple

    My daughter can use this shampoo to wash her hair by herself because it's so gentle, yet it leaves her curls soft and clean without drying them out. We'll be keeping this in the rotation!

    Nice!

    I recently tried Curly Kiddo Shampoo and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked on curly hair. Compared to other shampoos I've used, this one felt much gentler and didn't leave the hair feeling stripped or dry after washing. It cleaned effectively while still helping the hair retain moisture, which is important for maintaining healthy curls. One of the biggest benefits of this shampoo is that it helps keep curls soft, manageable, and less prone to frizz. The formula lathers nicely, rinses clean, and leaves the hair feeling refreshed without weighing it down. I also appreciate that it is designed specifically with curly hair needs in mind. I would consider buying this product again because it performed well and made wash day easier. I would also recommend it to friends and family who have curly or textured hair and are looking for a shampoo that cleanses without drying out their curls.

    Great Shampoo for Kids with Oily Hair

    I've been really happy with this kids' curly hair shampoo. It cleans my child's hair thoroughly without making it feel dry. It's especially great for oily hair and scalp, leaving the hair feeling fresh, soft, and lightweight after every wash. The curls stay defined and manageable, and the shampoo rinses out easily. It has a gentle formula that's perfect for kids and a pleasant scent that isn't overpowering. Overall, it's a great choice if you're looking for a shampoo that keeps curly hair clean while helping control excess oil.

    A Must-Have for Curly Kiddos!

    I absolutely love this shampoo! It leaves my child's curls feeling so soft, clean, and hydrated without stripping away moisture. It lathers nicely, rinses out easily, and has a light, pleasant scent that isn't overpowering. After just a few washes, I noticed less frizz and the curls looked more defined and manageable. It also doesn't leave any heavy residue, which is a huge plus. A little goes a long way, so the 12 oz bottle lasts longer than I expected. I would definitely recommend Curly Kiddo Shampoo to anyone looking for a gentle shampoo that keeps curly hair healthy, shiny, and bouncy!
