The holidays are a time for joy, family, and of course, fun hairstyles! But for parents with kids who have beautiful natural hair, figuring out festive styles that are both cute and easy to manage can feel like a challenge.
Worry not! Here at Kids Hair Play, we’ve got you covered with adorable holiday hairstyle ideas and styling tips that will last throughout the week.
Springing into Easter Fun:
Bouncy Bunny Curls: Bantu knots are a perfect way to create playful, springy curls. Simply twist small sections of damp hair into knots and secure them with bobby pins. After a few hours, unravel the knots and enjoy the adorable coils that take shape!
The Braided Chick: Channel your inner chick with cute braided pigtails. For a festive touch, add colourful ribbons or hair ties shaped like baby chicks or carrots.
Styling Tips for the Week:
Rock the Curls: Reapply a leave-in conditioner and use a curl refresher spray to maintain the definition and bounce of the curls throughout the week.
Accessorise with Flair: Add festive headbands, barrettes, or clips featuring Easter eggs, bunnies, or spring flowers for a touch of whimsy.
Summer Sunshine Styles:
Half-Up, Half-Down with Braids: This cool and stylish look is perfect for keeping hair out of your little one’s face on hot summer days. Braid a section of hair on either side and secure them at the back with a cute hair clip.
Pineapple Updo: A classic and easy style that’s perfect for the beach or pool. Gather your child’s hair high on their head and secure it in a loose ponytail. Wrap the remaining hair around the base of the ponytail and secure it with bobby pins.
Styling Tips for the Week:
Fight the Frizz: Summer humidity can lead to frizz. Use a lightweight frizz control product to keep hair smooth and manageable.
Protective Power: Braids, twists, or bantu knots are a great way to protect hair from the sun and chlorine.
Sparkle and Shine for the Holidays:
Glittery Headband with Twists: Create a festive look with a sparkly headband. Starting at the temple, take a small section of hair and twist it back towards the crown, securing it with a bobby pin near the headband. Repeat on the other side for a dazzling, winter-inspired style.
Sparkly Space Buns: This playful style is perfect for little ones who love to shine. Part your child’s hair in the middle and tie two high ponytails. Wrap the remaining hair around the base of each ponytail and secure with bobby pins. Don’t forget to add some sparkly hair clips or tinsel for extra holiday cheer!
Styling Tips for the Week:
Deep Condition: The colder winter months can dry out hair. A deep conditioning treatment once a week will help keep hair hydrated and healthy.
Embrace the Accessories: Hair accessories like ribbons, clips, and headbands with snowflakes, reindeer, or Santa hats can add a festive touch to any hairstyle.
