10 Tips For Making a Visit to the Salon a Smooth Activity For Your Child + the Beautician

It is a beautiful thing to see your baby girl with some beautiful braids in her hair. Mothers, do you agree?

Let me share something with you. There is a world-wide head-ache that sometimes happens when a little girl has to sit down in a beautician's chair to get her hair braided. Of course, the little girl is never happy to be participating in said ritual. So she lets her displeasure show by whining, moving around and needing to go back and forth to the bathroom.

MOTHERS!! we are only their beauticians. We are not their disciplinarians. With your help to keep your child seated in the chair and holding her head in positions that we need them too, this will speed up the process to get her on her way back to living the life of a child! And us on our way to our next client.

Ten Ways You Can Help Your Child's Beautician

2. Share with her the rules to getting her hair done.
3. Let her know that there should be no crying.

It is really an amazing thing for a little girl to get her hair done. All that trouble for her to soon emerge from the salon chair feeling like a big girl.

Twisted braids can look extremely stylish in black or colors depending on your preference. There's nothing like freshly done twists!

Whether you style your own hair into individual twists, or choose to add extensions to your hair, you can get longer wear from the hairstyle by taking good care of your twists. No only will it promote longer wear time, but they will keep looking great the entire time. At night, be sure to cover your twists with a silky or satin scarf, or bonnet. If you just can't manage sleeping with your head covered, try a sain pillow case. Protecting your twists at night will ensure a longer braid life during the day.

Healthy Hair Care is an adopted practice!!

Before you make the decision to get Box braids,
Senegalese Twists, Faux Locs or Marley Twists, be sure that your hair is in the best shape possible. Even though these styles are considered "Protective" styles, you don't won't to cause any more damage to your crown than what is already done. If it’s weak and damaged, don’t get to much extra hair, as this will weigh your natural hair down. And be sure to get a pin-up style as this will prevent the extensions from pulling downward and damage your hair even more. I know, I know, we all
like those extensions, but be sure to take care of your hair!!

Make sure your hair has proper moisture balance before installing anything type of extensions.

Tween and Teen girls love wearing their hair in individual braids and twists. Wanting to be cute is not a foreign thing to them, in spite of age.

So why shouldn't they want to look just as pretty with the same hairstyles.

Hairstyles for younger girls offer a very large space for creativity, from wearing individuals to cornrows with beads and twists. Let's not forget the many styles that can be created from individual braids, cute buns and playful ponytails are just a start.
