3 Ways to Guarantee Your Kids Have Great Hair Days During the Entire School Year
School is back in session! But while the beginning of a new school year is a super exciting time, it does tend to add a little extra stress to moms’ plates.
Why?
Now that the kids are back in school, you’re on a tighter schedule, which means you’ve got less time to spend on their hair in the mornings. Even though you may be crunched for time, you can absolutely make sure your kids are Picture Day-ready every day!
Here are 3 tips you can use to make styling your kids for school easier.
School Ready Styling Tip#1: Protective Styles Are Your Besties
If you already know you'll be pressed for time every morning, use protective styles on your kids hair. Not only will these styles last for weeks, but they’ll also promote healthy hair growth since you won’t be over-manipulating their hair.
Your kids can rock the same protective styles as you, and you can even add cute kid-friendly details to help them show off their sense of style.
Try styles such as braided pigtails, beaded braids, jumbo twists, and cornrows to keep your kids’ hair looking great for weeks while saving you valuable time on those busy school day mornings.
School Ready Styling Tip#2: Prep the Night Before
If you decide to style your kids’ hair every morning, getting ready the night before is a great way to save you time in the A.M.
Simplify your mornings by determining the hairstyles you’ll use on your kids the night before. Then, layout all the tools and accessories you’ll need, so you don’t have to scramble to find everything in the morning.
Additionally, prep your kids hair the night before if necessary. For example, if you know their hair needs to be detangled, do it before they go to sleep, so you’re not battling knots while trying to do their hair the next morning.
School Ready Styling Tip#3: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Adequate moisture is the key to healthy hair at any age! Moisturizing your kids’ hair ensures that their hair stays soft, strong, and manageable.
In addition to conditioning their hair, (deep conditioning it every few weeks and using leave-in conditioner) be sure to regularly use a water-based moisturizer on their hair to make sure their hair is never at risk of drying out.
Keeping your kids’ hair moisturized helps prevent knots, which slow you down during the styling process. Additionally, moisturized hair is less prone to breakage, and ensuring that your kids’ hair never dries out can help them retain length and reach their long-term hair goals.
