The Mustela Detangling & Nourishing Care is a multi-use conditioner and leave-in developed for babies and children with wavy or curly hair. Formulated for Type 3 textures, it works two ways in one bottle: rinsed out as a nourishing conditioner to soften and detangle, or left in to moisturise, define curls and add a light hold for smoother, frizz-free hair. If you're looking for a kids' conditioner for curls that improves slip, loosens knots and helps hair feel more manageable on wash day, this is designed to do exactly that.
It's made with 98% ingredients of natural origin, is silicone-free and free from sulfated surfactants, and carries Mustela's delicate signature fragrance so hair is left smelling fresh. Safe from birth and tested under dermatological and paediatric supervision, it's suited to everyday use as part of a curly-hair routine.
What it does for textured hair
Curly and wavy hair tends to lose moisture and tangle more easily, which is where the two uses come in. Used as a rinse-out conditioner, it nourishes from mid-lengths to ends and makes combing through easier. Used as a leave-in, it helps maintain curl hydration and shape, reduces frizz and keeps texture soft and touchable through the day. The formula is free from parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol and over 1,700 EU-banned ingredients.
