Kids Hairstyles

Before the age of 12, when a child is still a child, they don’t have as much creative expression over their hairstyle as do their parents, which is why in their teenage years the majority of teens explore to the hilt with their own personal style. But just like young adults, hairstyles have come a long way for children and parents are beginning to break away from the traditional side head ponytails and colorful hairclips.
For a kid’s hairstyle, keeping things simple is the best way to go. Minimal fuss is paramount for both the child and the parent. At this age, a younger child is fully dependent on the parent to maintain their hair, get it cut, and style it nicely before school or a party. Low maintenance locks on a child will save you much time. Because boys and girls are generally active, hairstyles that are easy to manage and won’t tangle easily are ideal. Children are more concerned at this stage about playing than socially fitting in with the crowd and are not as concerned with their hairstyles as are their parents. Because of this, they needn’t have the hottest, sweetest ‘in’ thing or even have their hairstyle resemble a certain celebrity. Looking cute is one thing but a child needs to feel comfortable with their hairstyle and something that requires too much effort to maintain will only be a downfall in the end.
A child’s healthy hair at this stage is enviable as there often isn’t any damage done this early on. They haven’t baked it in the sun, chemically or heat treated it straight or curly, or overused products. For the most part, shampoo and conditioner coupled with a leave in treatment depending on the quality of the hair is all a child’s hair needs to keep it in a healthy state
