With August approaching some parents are dreading the early morning challenges of hairstyling during the morning routine. Textured hair can be tricky if you are not familiar with some keys steps to make the process styling easier. Taking care of little girls' hair involves specific considerations to maintain its health and manageability. Here are some tips:
Moisture is Key: Textured hair tends to be dry, so keeping it moisturized is crucial. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner designed for children's hair, focusing on sulfate-free and gentle formulations.
Regular Conditioning: Deep condition the hair at least once a week to replenish moisture and keep it soft and manageable. Use a leave-in conditioner for added moisture between washes.
Detangling with Care: Textured hair can be prone to tangling. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle gently, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots.
Protective Styles: Braids, twists, and cornrows are great protective styles that can minimize manipulation and breakage. Ensure they are not too tight to avoid discomfort or hair loss.
Avoid Heat Damage: Minimize the use of heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons, as excessive heat can damage ethnic hair. If heat styling is necessary, use a heat protectant spray beforehand.
Trimming Regularly: Regular trims (every 6-8 weeks) help prevent split ends and maintain the health of the hair. Hair trimming is one of the most overlooked haircare tips for textured hair. When detangling the hair, split ends can break up the hair shaft damaging the hair and prevent growth and length retention. Be sure to consult with your stylist before trimming the hair.
Age Appropriate Styling: Not all hairstyles are appropriate for school aged children. Research styles that you are comfortable with for your child. Talk to your stylist about age appropriate protective styles that are easy to maintain, yet stylish for kids.
