Curls Detangler

Made with Kukui Nut Oil and Monoi Coconut Oil, our lightweight hair detangler spray is made to help soften, tame and condition our curly hair.

You might notice we changed ‘Curls & Waves’ to ‘Curls’ but don’t worry, it’s still the same formula we know and love, we just shortened the name a little.

How to Use

Spray our Curls Detangler directly onto damp or towel-dried hair. Work through hair with finger tips or a wide toothed comb to undo tangles. Also works great as a refresher on second (third or fourth) day hair. You want to leave this product in, so don't rinse it out.

Sonny's Tips:

  • After using our detangler, dry your curls with a cotton t-shirt to cut down on frizz and breakage.
  • We love using this moisturizing hair detangler spray on dry hair too. Just spray on your hair, use a comb or brush to get rid of any tangles and knots, and go back out to hang with your friends.

We've Got Answers

Do the Curls products work for wavy hair too?

Yes, for sure! Our Curls line was specifically formulated for most wavy & curly hair types.

How Often Should You Wash Curly Hair?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on your unique curls. Looser waves might need washing every few days, while tighter curls or coils can often go a week between shampoos. The goal is to keep your hair hydrated and fresh without overdoing it. Trust your hair to tell you what it needs, and you'll be golden.

How to Keep Curly Hair From Frizzing?

Frizz happens, but managing it? Totally doable. Start with hydration—moisturized curls are happy curls. Use products designed to lock in moisture (like ours—just saying!), and ditch rough towels for a microfiber one or a soft T-shirt. Finish with a leave-in conditioner or styling cream to seal in the goodness. Pro tip: Hands off while your hair dries. Let your curls do their thing for a frizz-free finish.

Curls Detangler

"This was honestly such a good surprise for me. I have really curly hair, so most of the time detanglers do not work or don't give my hair enough moisture. This one is amazing. My hair has never felt softer, curlier, or less tangled as I am styling it."

— Abbey O. (5/5)

This is a nice light

"This is a nice light weight spray that we are loving. It smells good, and it makes my daughter’s curls look more natural and not crunchy. With all of the swimming we do, it’s been a great product to use this summer and really helps to get those tangles out."

Great beach waves.

"I have fine , naturally wavy hair. It’s not thick but it’s also not super thin. This stuff makes my waves look fantastic! I seriously could probably use nothing but this to make my waves look great. I use it more as a leave in than I do as a detangler. It doesn’t weigh my hair down but it does feel soft. I generally use very expensive brands , but I’ve not been super happy with many and decided to try this brand since it’s made with good ingredients. I am seriously very happy!"

Q&A

Why are the bottles so small? With curly hair, one bottle only lasts a couple weeks. Would love larger sizes!

Why do the curly products contain silicone? Isn’t that very bad for curls..? Just curious.
Hi Raven, thank you so much for reaching it. We use silicones because they are a conditioning agent. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hey@sunbum.com :) xo, SB
