How much conditioner should I use for my child's hair length, and how often is it needed?

For shoulder-length hair, a single pump (roughly a hazelnut-sized amount) is typically sufficient. For shorter hair, use half a pump; for longer or very thick hair, you may need one and a half pumps. Apply only to wet, freshly washed hair, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends where tangles form — avoid the scalp area to prevent the roots from looking greasy too quickly.

Frequency depends on your child's hair type and routine. If you wash their hair two to three times a week, condition every wash. For children who swim regularly (pool or sea), condition after each swim session to counteract chlorine or salt roughness. On non-wash days when morning knots are the issue, a light mist of water followed by a tiny amount of conditioner on the ends can help, but rinse it out afterward — this product is designed as a rinse-out conditioner, not a leave-in.

Because the formula rinses quickly and is pH-balanced for a child's scalp, daily use during heavy-tangle periods (vacation, swimming lessons) won't build up or weigh the hair down. If the hair starts feeling coated or heavy, simply skip a wash or two and use a mild shampoo alone.
