Quick Easy Kids Styles

Good Morning All....I know it has been awhile but I guess its good that I waited because I have alot to say now.

So today I want to talk about a very versatile style that I have used on my youngest daughter. The first step in making a style versatile is figuring out what kind of look u are going for. If this is a style that you want to last for 2-3 weeks (which is always good for little girls)...make sure that the hair is as clean as u can get it and tangle free, make sure that the scalp is greased well and that the hair is well moisturized. You have to make you do this because it might be 3 weeks before you wash it again.

So now that the hair is clean and detangled you have to decide next if you want to start with the hair in a ponytail or down(for girls) and small or big twist/braids (for boys).

I will start with boys...once you have made your decision you will then want to make sure that your parts are straight and that each twist/braid is the same size. I would recommend that you use 2Strand Twist or Plaits...these are easy to manipulate. Now depending on the length and thickness of the hair you might want to start with smaller sizes first for boys. If you break it down into weeks you would start week one with the small twist/braids that will hang down maybe with a part in the middle. If you have a favorite Oil Sheen it would be good to use that once every 2 or 3 days just to put a little shine on the hair. When you get to the second week you will want to go through the scalp and look for any dry areas, if you see any then take the grease that you used earlier and moisturize those areas. Now you are ready for the next style...if you decided to go with twist take 2 twist and make them 1...this will give you a bigger twist. There is no reason to take down the twist before joining them. If you went with the braids you can section the hair half or into 4's(this is where the perfect parting comes in) and then braid them together...u can make cornrows or french braids. This could last longer then a week on adults but with children you don't want too many frizzies. Now moving into the 3rd and final week this is the take down week. You have two options for this week...you can take it down all at once or take it down in sections. After the take down you can either do a ponytail or a afro. If the boy has short hair(above the ear) you can modify by doing twist that are bigger to begin and then take those apart in the second week...take each twist and make it into 2....
