1. Half Up Half Down
Can’t decide between styling your kid’s hair up or down? Why not do both? Whether your little one has long layers or a short bob, the half up half down style works for any hair type and is easy to achieve. Simply divide your kid’s hair horizontally from ear to ear and pull the top section into a ponytail or bun. Just like that, your little one’s new favorite look is complete! Personalize it with cute clips or a bow to keep their look in place for the whole day.
2. Effortless Combover
Your little one will be all smiles for this classic look! A combover is a great choice if you're looking for a quick and easy style for busier days. All you need to do is get your kid's hair wet and part it to the side with a comb. We recommend using the Solutions Wacky Gel to ensure their combover stays in place throughout their entire day!
3. Accessorized Braid
Let your kid’s personality shine through with a braid! From French braids to fishtails, this look comes in a variety of forms, allowing you to get creative with your little one's hair. To create a standard braid, divide the hair into three equal sections and alternate crossing the outer sections over the middle one. Keep repeating this pattern until you reach the end of your kid’s hair, then secure it with a cute accessory like a bow or ribbon. The perfect touch!
4. Messy Texture
Creating a new look for your kiddo is as easy as adding texture to their hair! This style is ideal for short or fine hair types, and you can start by working a small amount of styling product into damp hair. The Designing Taffy is perfect for defining shorter styles and boosting texture. Once applied, run your fingers through their hair to tousle and lift, giving it that effortlessly messy, voluminous finish.
5. Simple Pigtails
Nothing beats an adorable hairstyle that both you and your kids will love. Pigtails are a playful yet practical choice that instantly adds fun to your little one’s back-to-school look. Simply separate the hair vertically to create two sections, securing each one with an elastic. Switch things up with high or low pigtails, or add a playful twist by braiding each side! If you’re leaving the hair loose, we recommend adding the Solutions Afraid Knot Detangler to prevent your child’s hair from getting tangled.
