Cut for Girls

Kids are fashion conscious too and they want their hair to look great. So what to do when
your little girl wants a trendy hair cut but you want something easy to care for? Here are
some tips for choosing a great haircut that will be easy to style.

Choosing a Hair Cut

Instructions

• STEP 1: Decide what length of hair cut she wants. Short hair is easy to manage
but many girls still want to keep their long hair. Sit down with your child and
discuss the pros and cons of both long and short hair.
• STEP 2: Be sure that your child knows that they will be expected to style their
hair themselves (if you don’t plan on helping). Older girls will probably have no
problems with this but younger girls may not be aware of how much styling is
required for some hairstyles.
• STEP 3: Consider your child’s hair type. If she has fine hair try to choose hair
cuts that will work with her hair. Thick hair can require a lot of work to style so
you may want to keep it shoulder length or shorter if your child has trouble
managing it herself.
• STEP 4: Flip through some hairstyling magazines and find hairstyles that you
both think will be appropriate. Clip out these hairstyles and keep them to take to
the salon with you.
• STEP 5: Ask the stylist for advice. When your child is in the stylist’s chair ask
about the styles you’ve chosen and ask the stylist to offer suggestions on easy
styles. She may be able to suggest a style that will work great with your child’s
hair or suggest alterations to a chosen style that will make it easier to manage and
still look great.
