Style A Child'S Hair

Style a Child's Hair

Parents sometimes have trouble coming up with different ideas for their child's hair style. It can be a drag trying to think up something new every morning while you're half asleep, getting your child ready for school. If you experiment a bit, you'll come up with plenty of ideas that your child will like that will be easy on you.

Instructions

Girls' Styles

1. Use a coated elastic band to pull the front of your daughter's hair back. This will look cute as well as keep the hair out of her face while she plays. You can also use a clip instead of an elastic band, if you choose.

2. Braid in some long pigtails. Divide her hair into two sections and braid each side loosely. You can tie the braids off with a decorative hair tie. Alternatively, you can do cowtails, which are just ponytails on each side of the head.

3. Curl your daughter's hair with large curlers. This is a nice style for special days at school or for church. You can clip back one side of the hair to keep hair from hanging in her face. If she has very straight hair naturally, consider applying hair spray to help hold the curls.

Boys' Styles

4. Rub a bit of styling product in your hands. You can use pomade, gel, wax or putty. Run your hands through your son's hair to create different spiky styles. You can even make a "fauxhawk" (a fake mohawk) by spiking up just the hair in the center.

5. Brush his hair in the direction you want it to go while it's wet. This will help the hair grow the proper way and make it much easier for you to style his hair.

6. Vary your son's haircuts. Experiment with what works best for both of you. If he doesn't like it when you mess with his hair, perhaps a buzz cut is appropriate. If he likes his hair a bit longer, let it grow out some and then teach him put it in a ponytail.
