What Makes MopTops Haircare Better for Kids?

 

What Makes MopTops Haircare Better for Kids?

If you’ve ever wrestled with a hairbrush while your child screamed the house down we see you.
If you’ve ever bought a “kids” shampoo only to find it’s full of synthetic junk or smells like a lolly shop gone wrong we’ve been there too.

That’s exactly why MopTops Haircare exists. And here’s what makes us different (and better):

---

✅ Salon-Quality, Developed by a Children’s Hair Specialist

MopTops wasn’t whipped up in a boardroom it was developed by a professional hairdresser who’s been specialising in children’s hair since 2005.

Every product in our range has been tested and used behind the salon chair. That means they’ve been tried on real kids, with real knots, dry ends, sensitive scalps, and all the wild mornings that come with family life

.
It works in the salon and more importantly, it works at home.

✅ Australian-Made & Mum-Founded with Heart

This brand is personal.
MopTops was born out of heartbreak and healing a dream I shared with my late husband to create a children’s hair salon and product line that truly helped families.

Through grief, I found purpose. And today, MopTops stands for more than good hair it stands for connection, care, and community.

It’s made with love and parents can feel that.

✅ Formulated Just for Kids (Not Shrunk-Down Adult Products)

Let’s be real most kids’ products on the shelves are just adult formulas in smaller bottles with cartoon labels.
Not MopTops.

Every ingredient, every drop of fragrance, and every formula is designed for kids’ delicate hair and sensitive scalps.

We use gentle, organic ingredients with safe pH levels and we say NO to silicones, sulfates, parabens, and all the junk that doesn’t belong on your child’s head.

✅ Bundles That Actually Make Life Easier

MopTops isn’t about selling shelves of products it’s about solving problems.

✔ Knots and tangles before school? We’ve got a bundle for that.
✔ Green hair from chlorine? Sorted.
✔ Dry, frizzy curls that need some love? Covered.

Our curated bundles make it easy for parents to get what they need no stress, no overwhelm, just solutions that work.

Because when your child feels good about their hair, and mornings go a little smoother…
everyone wins.

This month marks 18 years since we said goodbye to my husband, Chris.

He was so much more than my partner.
He was my girls’ incredible bonus dad, our safe place, our steady hand, and the kind of man who loved with his whole heart. Kind, funny, generous — and always the first to show up for us.

Losing him left a hole in our world.
But it also left a love so deep, it’s still shaping my life today.

I look back now not just with sadness, but with gratitude.
Gratitude for the years we had.
Gratitude for the way he loved us.
And gratitude for the strength his love gave me to keep going.

Because even in the hardest moments, I kept moving forward — for my girls, for myself, and in many ways… for him.

That strength eventually grew into MopTops Haircare.

MopTops was the dream I got to choose. A way to create something joyful, kind, and full of purpose. Something I could pour my heart into.
And I did — every step of the way.

What most people don’t know is that the MopTops logo font is Chris’s own creation.
It’s a small detail, but for me, it means everything. His mark is on every product, every bottle, every box that goes out the door. His legacy quite literally lives on in the brand I’ve built.

Today, 18 years later, I stand proud of the life I’ve created — not in spite of the loss, but because of the love that came before it.

Chris never got to see MopTops come to life, but I know he’s with me in every milestone.
He’s in the joy of a child loving their curls.
He’s in the dads who show up at our workshops.
He’s in the quiet moments when I look at what we’ve built and think,

“You’d be so proud.”

So today, we remember Chris — with full hearts and smiling faces.
We remember the love, the laughter, and the beautiful life we shared.
And we celebrate the strength that came from it all.

Because grief didn’t end our story.
It gave us a new beginning.
And I’m still standing — with purpose, with passion, and with him in every part of it.
