The bottom line

What owners say

What people report

Recurring themes our researchers wrote in their own words from sourced reviews. We do not store or scrape star ratings, and we never balance one product’s themes against another’s by inventing them.

Kids Taming Spray

effective detangling on curly/mixed-texture kids' hair

My daughter has mixed hair, and is a blonde. She has some tight curls that are tough to get thru. This stuff helps detangle and tame her hair!

makes combing time easier

Bought this for my 8 year old daughter. Makes combing time so much easier. Love it.

longtime users upset about scent change

My three daughters and I have been using this taming spray for years and always loved it. Now, every single one of us is upset about the different potent, powdery scent.

availability/stock difficulty

I used this product for the past 10 years on my daughter. It's impossible to find! Why? I could pick it up at salon!

effective but disliked new scent after reformulation

This product works well to get my child's tangles out. However, we are both not fond of the new smell!

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 6 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
