  Type 3b hair is really easy to care for, especially since it is a boy who will probably only keep a few inches if hair on his head at any time. I would say KISS Keep It Simple Sister. Just keep his hair nicely trimmed. And don't shampoo excessively. In fact I would suggest you just use cream rinse conditioners as if it were shampoo for type 3b. For short type 3b hair,I really would not worry about styling products. If it seems dry, then look for one of the leave in curl creams or curl milk products available for curly hair.
  Type 3b hair is really simple to deal with. Think of less is best and try not to dry it out by using shampoos.

  My Routine:
  Coconut oil drench the night before I co-wash
  then cowash and deep condition each time w/ Keracare Humecto, Joico Moisture Recovery and/or ApHogee 2min
  then usually airdry
  Grapeseed oil nightly
  
  (no gel, mouse, or hair spray. My delicate, fine hair will tear if I even try to run my fingers through it with any of those. :angel9:)
  My go to leave ins are now: my regular conditioners listed above, gs oil, or PW77

  You never really know if hair will change or not. My hair when I was young only had a slight wave (maybe 2a, or less) until puberty where it became 3b. If neither you or the dad had that happen though, then it might not for you son. Considering that there are many years before puberty, there is no harm in finding a routine now and changing it later if necessary.
