Is your little one’s hair a puzzle you’re trying to unravel? You’re not alone. Toddler hair can be a handful, but with the right advice, you can make styling a breeze. We’ve got you covered with expert tips from Linda Miller, a seasoned hairstylist specializing in Black hair.
Understanding Your Toddler’s Texture
Miller emphasizes the importance of knowing your child’s hair type. “Black hair comes in many different textures,” she points out. “From fine and wavy to thick and curly, it’s essential to know what type of hair your little one has.”
Choosing the Right Hairstyle for Your Toddler
Knowing your toddler’s hair type will help you select the perfect style. For fine hair, Miller recommends going for a natural look. “Use a light leave-in conditioner to define the curls,” she says.
