Can kids use Skala?

Which kids' tub is for which hair?

All four are 1 kg treatment creams for children aged 3 and up, and Skala lists every use for them: conditioner, treatment, leave-in, pre-poo and co-wash.

• Divino Potinho: curly and coily hair from 2C to 4C, made for detangling. A nourishment tub with coconut oil and linseed.
• #Mais Cachinhos: curly children. A hydration tub with aloe vera, D-panthenol and shea butter.
• #Mais Crespinhos: coily and very coily hair from 4A to 4C, for nourishment and frizz control, with argan, coconut, linseed and amaranth.
• Amidinho de Milho: everyday use on any hair type, for hydration, strength and frizz control, with corn starch.

Divino Potinho, #Mais Cachinhos and #Mais Crespinhos are all on Amazon. We didn't find Amidinho de Milho in US shops in our November 2026 check.

What about the Family tub?

The Fru-Tastic Coquetel de Frutas Family (fruit cocktail) is made for the whole family, especially for detangling children's hair. It's a 3-in-1 hydration tub with watermelon, coconut and grape, for all hair types. Skala doesn't give it an age range. We didn't find it in US shops in our November 2026 check either.

What's in them, and what isn't?

Skala's English page for Divino Potinho says it's free from sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, silicones and mineral oil, and Skala sells the kids' line as liberado, Brazil's word for low-poo friendly. More on that in Skala and the curly girl method.

How do I use it on a child's hair?

• For detangling: put it on damp hair, section, and comb from the ends up while it's in. That's what Divino Potinho and the Family tub are made for.
• As a leave-in: a small amount on damp hair, kept off the roots.
• As a co-wash: massage it into a damp scalp instead of shampoo, then rinse.

If your child's scalp is red, itchy or flaking, or their hair is coming out in patches, see a doctor rather than switching tubs. For adult picks by pattern, see which Skala for my curl pattern.
