Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus KIDS Braiding Jam for Hold & Shine for Kids' Braids & Styles 5.5 oz
Braiding a child's hair is a race against how long they will sit still, so the product has to grip on the first pass and stay put for days afterwards. A braiding jam does that better than a cream, because it has enough tack to hold a parting and enough slip to let the sections lie flat.
This one is made with coconut oil, hibiscus flower extract and certified organic shea butter. The hold is firm but flexible, so cornrows and twists stay neat through a week of school and playtime without going crunchy or shedding white flakes onto the scalp.
A little goes a long way, which matters when you are working across a whole head. Take a small amount on the back of your hand, work it into each section as you part, and resist adding more when the hair drinks the first pass. Too much and the braid goes heavy rather than neat.
It smooths the baby hairs down at the same time, which is usually the difference between a style that looks finished and one that does not. Suits curly, coily and thicker wavy children's hair, roughly type 2c to 4a. 5.5 oz.

Application tips
Scoop a little onto a plate and work from there, rather than dipping wet fingers into the tub. Smooth it along each parting, then over the section itself before you start braiding.
Use a soft brush for the edges. Let the finished style set for a few minutes before anyone runs off, and top up only where a braid has worked loose.
Results
Braids and twists survive a full week at school looking freshly done, with partings that stay crisp rather than blurring by the third day.
The hold is firm and still flexible, so nothing snaps when a child moves. Nothing goes white on the scalp and nothing crunches under the hand. Baby hairs stay laid, which is usually what makes the style look finished.
