Hello Jorja, we're sorry to hear about your disappointment with our detangler spray and brush. From your photo it looks like your son has a type 4 curl pattern, which requires more specialised care. For curly hair like his, we recommend avoiding brushing, as it can cause frizz and damage. Instead, we suggest trying our Hair Custard, which is specifically formulated to moisturise and define curls. For any product inquiries, please feel free to contact us at support@mapleandwattle.com, and we will be happy to suggest products that best suit your needs.
