Looking to style your little one’s hair? It’s essential to consider their hair type, lifestyle, and personal preferences. We chatted with Linda Miller, a hairstylist specializing in children’s hair, to gather expert advice. Let’s explore her insights on the best hairstyles for different hair types and face shapes.
Understanding Hair Texture and Type
Miller emphasizes the importance of understanding your child’s hair texture and type. “Every child’s hair is unique.” she says. “It’s important to consider the thickness, density, and curl pattern. This knowledge will help you choose the best haircut and styling techniques for your little one.”
Styling Based on Face Shape
If your child has fine hair, Miller suggests a layered cut. This will add volume and movement to the hair. “I recommend avoiding blunt cuts for fine hair,” she says. “They may make the hair look thinner and lackluster.” For thick hair, Miller advises a more structured cut. This may involve layering or removing bulk from the bottom of the hair.
