Where your child’s hair is concerned, keeping it protected and healthy during the cold season is of paramount importance. Not only for its protection but also as a way to cement the importance of taking good care of their hair.
The cold dry season can starve your child’s hair, leaving it dry, dehydrated and coarse, therefore extra measures have to be taken to keep their hair healthy.
Protecting your kid’s hair in winter also helps them not deal with combing hair on cold days or applying cold hair moisturisers.
Let us look at five hairstyles that your child can try this winter.
Beaded Cornrows – Let’s face it, kids love beads and the little sounds they make. So, why not add beads to your kid’s cornrows as a way to let them stand out while growing their hair? Just For Girls Saloon suggests you make it fun by allowing your daughter to pick the beads she would like to have on her cornrows. This will also boost her confidence in her decision-making abilities.
