We know the haircare aisle can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing the right shampoo and conditioner for your child. At Twiddl, we’ve created two unique duos — Cleanse & Nourish and Curl & Hydrate — to meet different hair needs, textures, and routines.
But which one is right for your child?
This guide breaks it down clearly, so you can make a confident choice (and get better results come wash day).
Designed for children with fine, straight, or wavy hair, Cleanse & Nourish offers a gentle yet effective cleanse that won't leave hair feeling dry or heavy. It’s ideal for frequent washers, whether after school sports, sandy adventures, or sweaty summer days.
What it does:
Gently removes buildup without stripping natural oils
Suitable for sensitive scalps
Delivers light hydration and softness
Helps improve hair strength and manageability over time
Key ingredients & their benefits for kids' hair:
Shea Butter – Provides lightweight nourishment that won’t leave fine hair feeling heavy or greasy. It helps smooth the hair cuticle for added softness and shine.
Hydrolysed Rice Bran Protein – A plant-based protein that reinforces hair strength and elasticity without stiffness. It’s ideal for reducing breakage and supporting healthier growth in delicate strands.
Hydrolysed Jojoba Esters – These biomimetic esters help smooth and condition the hair, enhancing shine while reducing frizz and static — especially helpful for hair that tangles easily.
Rosemary Extract – Known for its scalp-stimulating and antioxidant properties, rosemary supports overall scalp health and can help keep the scalp feeling refreshed between washes.
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice – Soothes and calms the scalp while adding a touch of hydration to the hair — a natural go-to for kids with sensitive or easily irritated scalps.
ProVitamin B5 (Panthenol) – A humectant that helps retain moisture, boost softness, and improve manageability, especially for hair that knots or gets brittle.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – Offers antioxidant protection and helps condition the hair and scalp, supporting overall hair health with regular use.
Cleanse & Nourish is lightweight, silky, and perfect for frequent use — giving you a gentle clean without build-up, and a soft, natural finish that kids love.
Curl & Hydrate is crafted for wavy, curly, and coily hair that needs more moisture, definition, and detangling support. It’s perfect for thicker strands and less frequent washes — whether that’s once a week or every few days.
What it does:
Deeply hydrates and softens dry curls
Helps define and protect natural curl patterns
Boosts manageability and makes detangling easier
Curl-loving key ingredients & their benefits:
Chia Seed Oil – Known for its high omega-3 content, it helps soothe the scalp, reduce flakiness, and support a healthier scalp environment — essential for healthy curl growth and consistency.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil – A deeply moisturising emollient that helps soften and smooth the hair shaft. It also offers natural UV protection, which is especially important for curls prone to dryness and sun sensitivity.
Glycine Soja Sterols – These plant-based lipids help reinforce the scalp barrier and enhance moisture retention, improving elasticity so curls can bounce without breaking.
Hydrolysed Quinoa – A powerhouse plant protein that bonds to the hair shaft to add shine, smoothness, and strength — key for keeping curls glossy and defined, not dull or frizzy.
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) – Penetrates the hair to lock in moisture and improve flexibility, reducing breakage and helping curls stay soft, springy, and easier to style.
Hydrating Lipid Complex (Soybean-derived Biolipids) – A blend that smooths the hair cuticle, helps reduce split ends, and creates a lightweight shield against environmental damage. Curls feel nourished, not coated.
With its rich, creamy texture and high slip, Curl & Hydrate turns wash day into a tangle-free experience — helping curls retain their natural shape, bounce, and softness.
