Vol.47 Tailored Hair by Aki : Kids’ Hair Styles
10.18.2024
In this edition, we’ll discuss hairstyles that enhance your child's natural hair and styles that both parents and children can enjoy together.
Children's hair differs from adults, as it's softer and finer. By applying the Tailored Hair concept, we can design hairstyles that highlight each child’s unique personality and charm.
- Emphasizing The Child’s Bone Structure and Hair Texture
Tailored Hair takes into account the individual’s bone structure, hair texture, and habits to create a personalized design. The same goes for kids—by closely observing their face shape, head size, and hair growth patterns, we can design the perfect style.
- For children with round faces: Adding layers around the face emphasizes vertical lines, creating balance.
- For children with long faces: Creating bangs to slightly cover the forehead and adding volume on the sides results in a softer look.
- Designing for Movement and Safety
Since kids are always on the move, their hairstyles need to accommodate their active lifestyles.
- Fringe that doesn’t block their view: Bangs that are too long can obscure vision and pose safety risks. Make sure to trim them to a practical yet stylish length.
- Tangle-free length and layers: Hair that's too long can easily get tangled, making it hard for children to maintain. We keep the length manageable and add layers to make daily care easier.
- Hairstyles for Parents and Kids to Enjoy Together
Offer styles that both parents and kids can enjoy.
- Matching hair accessories: Using matching headbands, pins, or ribbons allows for coordinated parent-child styling.
- Simple styling tips: Share easy ways to braid or create ponytails at home. Why not enjoy styling your hair together on weekends?
- Encouraging Kids’ Independence with Hair Care
Helping kids take an interest in their own hair care fosters independence and self-expression.
- Develop a brushing routine: Encourage daily brushing to maintain healthy hair. Teach them how to brush gently.
- Choosing their own hair accessories: Letting kids choose their favorite color and design of hair accessories is a great first step in expressing themselves.
- The Tailored Hair Process
Even with kids' cuts, be sure to provide the same detailed consultation and design process as for adults.
- Consultation: Ask about the child’s preferences and lifestyle to determine the best hairstyle.
- Design sharing: While working in front of the mirror, adjust the length and silhouette, taking the child’s input into account.
- Cutting and styling: Cut quickly and carefully to help kids stay relaxed, using gentle styling products.
- Commitment to Safety and Hygiene
- Hygiene of tools: Ensure that scissors and brushes are kept clean, especially for children’s sensitive skin.
- Allergy precautions: Use low-irritation, allergen-free styling products and shampoos.
