Luxe Locks for Little Ones: Introducing Hot Tot Haircare

Luxe Locks for Little Ones: Introducing Hot Tot Haircare

Hot Tot Haircare is a new, upscale six-piece collection of naturally-based hair products for babies and children created by Megan Gage. Hot Tot’s safe styling products are proudly made in the USA and free of harsh chemicals, including parabens, phthlates, and sulfates, giving peace of mind to parents. From the Conditioning Detangler rich in antioxidants to Spotless Tot, an ultra gentle cleanser, each Hot Tot product is designed to make haircare a breeze. The comprehensive collection of salon-quality products has a signature fresh scent reminiscent of Cabbage Patch Dolls- a special touch evoking childhood memories.  Created to be a little piece of luxury parents can actually afford, Hot Tot’s sleek-packaged products retail from $12.50 to $18 at www.hottot.com and select boutiques nationwide.

Hot Tot is the only specialized styling line formulated for the physical characteristics of immature hair,” said Megan Gage, founder of Hot Tot Haircare. “While other companies market their products to children with the use of bright colored packaging and fruity scents, our products are designed to cater to the structural differences.”

Tangled tresses, cowlicks, and unruly curls are a thing of the past with Hot Tot’s problem-solving products, including:

Sweet Pea Serum: a moisturizing serum designed to create a charming curl for babies, also used for cradle cap.

Conditioning Detangler: gently tames tangled and knotted locks on all hair types- works on wet or dry hair.

Styling Gel: a medium-hold gel designed to tame frizz/flyaways and keep curls soft without feeling sticky or stiff.

Structure Whip: a workable cream that adds texture, separation and flexible hold for tots with serious style. Perfect for spikey styles (mohawks!), barrettes, ponytails, and cowlicks.

Spotless Tot: a super mild hair and body cleanser for no-fuss baths- a small amount quickly builds into a rich lather that rinses off easily.

Finishing Mist: this gentle mist helps keep styles in place for a polished look all day.

Megan Gage, a mother of two, worked with an organic chemist to create Hot Tot after discovering there was a need for quality haircare products free of harmful toxins and a clean scent suitable for babies and children. Hot Tot’s social responsibility does not end with their natural products- they are devoted to giving a sizable portion of their proceeds to well-deserving children’s charities.
