For babies and toddlers freakish about brushing their hair, start off with using a horse face brush. The bristles are super-soft on her head, hair and scalp, and they’re super cheap. Plus, Spice loves to brush her soft toys “hair” in pretend-play.

It’s not at all for tangles, but we keep those down with California Baby’s spray detangler once in a while and just cut the really tough tangles out. I know that may seem a little crazy to the more fashionista parents out there, but my view is that she’s 20 months and I would rather have her be happy with a wild toddler ‘do, than have immaculate locks and tears and bathroom battles every day.
