We’re living in an era where moms with curly kids finally have enough options to choose from when it comes to curly hairstyles for kids, instead of going for the same hairstyle over and over.

We have put together a quite long list of the very best 35 kids curly hairstyles for you to check out and get some inspiration from, but before we jump into it, let’s talk about curly hair in kids for a bit!

How to Make Toddler Hair Curly

You can’t simply “make”  your baby have curly hair, it’s a genetic thing. If you, or their other parent, have curly hair, then it’s most likely your baby will have curly hair as well.

But keep in mind, even if you are blessed with a toddler with curly hair, chances are they might have a completely different type of curly hair than yours… Theirs might be curlier or have a softer curl than you have, and you need to be prepared to deal with that.

However, there’s no natural way to make your toddler hair curly if they are not born with naturally textured hair. You can, of course, use curly irons or non-heat methods to bring some waves and curl into your kid’s hair, but this effect will only be temporary.

How to Style Your Kid’s Curly Hair

Styling curly hair for kids is nothing similar to styling straight hair since curly kids require a lot of care and previous treatments to keep their hairs soft and nice.

As a parent, you need to make sure to know which type of curly hair your kids have, since depending on the structure of the curl, you’ll need to apply special-made products for them.

Just to give you an example, the tighter the curl is, the more moisturizing and hair oils you’ll have to incorporate into their hairstyle routine.

The reason behind this is because curly hair kids -and just curly hair in general- is very dry and tends to frizz and break super quickly, so it’s always in need of proper care.
