Long Hair Styles

 

If your little girls have long hair, you may be searching for something fun to do with her hair like the little lass above with her feathered ends. Remember when discussing cuts with a hairdresser a picture speaks a thousand words.  Keep reading for more easy ideas.

If your Child has long curly hair, its time to embrace those curls if you haven't already.  Let those curls shine through.  A simple "how to" is to liberally add our Iles Formula Finishing Serum, which  will deliver sumptuous curls by eliminating the frizz and adding the hydration to the hair that curly hair tends to be lacking.

1./  Apply liberally the  serum to the  mid lengths to ends and twist 1/2 to 1 inch sections in the direction of the curl pattern.

2./  Leave the curls alone and allow it to dry naturally.  Watch their curls come to life before your eyes.

3./ Once dry take more serum in the palm of the hands and smooth over the hairs surface like a hair polish . This extra layer will protect against humidty and UV damage.

Pig tails are another great option for ways to style your childs long hair.  They can be worn low or high, or low and loose  like above with a center part.  A great way to add personality to any style . If your daughter loves ribbons, here is her chance.

The half up top knot is a great style especially for the little one that loves having their hair tied away from their face. Excellent for school study days as eyes are free of long hair hassels.

1./. Take a rectangular section on top of the head and twist it until it coils into the knot.

2./. Then secure with pins.

3./. Leave the remaining hair smooth or add some curls for more detail and movement.  Such a cute style for your little girl.

Shorter Hairstyles

What about your little ones with shorter hair?  Not to worry, we have some back to school hair ideas for short hair has well.  Nothing is more stylish on a young child than a very nice classic haircut.  Think bobs, pixies, curly bobs, etc.  Any of the following styles are great options.

 

 

First up, is this perfect square bob with fringe.  How cute is this very French look? Ask your child's hairstylist for a square graduated bob, and if you love the fringe, ask to have the fringe cut very square as well.  This cut grows out very well and is super easy to maintain.  Below is a longer variation of the same type of cut.

This  variation  below has more layers added to the hair allowing the natural curl or texture to come to life.   Again the shorter fringe is a nice touch.  Keep in mind the length of the fringe can be longer if you desire.

The next style, is a round graduated haircut with a longer fringe.  The corkscrew curls are perfect for this cut, as they are encouraged to have loads of bounce and movement.  Again, utilize our Iles Formula Finishing Serum for styling your little ones hair.  It's also a great time to mention our Iles Formula Shampoo & Conditioner, which is as perfect for the children as it is for you.  Our Shampoo is sulfate free, paraben free, and silicone free, what more does a family need.

Why not make the hair look like its longer than it is, by creating a little off centered top knot. This pairs perfectly with the shorter fringe.  If your child's fringe has not fully grown in, and really doesn't have a shape, then ask for them to be cut with a bit of texture.  This will give them a shattered effect that will be very stylish.

The Boys

We absolutely cannot leave out the boys.  Here we have pulled some of our favorite inspirational boys haircuts and styles for back to school.

 

 

Many parents complain that their boys don't want haircuts and just want to wear a messy style.  Well Mum and Dad, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.  With some product for control this may be a doable hairstyle for the cool dudes in your life.  Simply keep the bangs cleaned up and around the perimeter of the hair as well and this will keep it presentable. Allow the natural texture to come out by utilizing our Iles Formula Finishing Serum.

 

 

 

 

 

We found some shorter barber styled cuts as well for your boys who like to wear their hair a bit more clean cut.  It may seem like a lot, but these shorter haircuts really need to be maintained every 4-6 weeks to ensure the shape stays in the hair and the cut always looked clean.  So if your child is wearing this style, be ready for regular visits to the barber or salon.  To style, use our finishing serum, and if you are looking for a stronger hold, then try a pomade or wax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If any of these styles have given you inspiration for your childs hair, then be sure to pin them right to your Pinterest page and take them with you to their next hair appointment, or use them for styling inspirations.  Which ones are your favorites?  Let us know in the comments.
