The Importance of Knowing Your Child's Hair

Have you ever seen a mini influencer with hair that looks like your little one’s? You copy their hair care routine to the tee but are met with unsatisfactory results! How many times have you taken a hairstyle pic to your child's stylist as inspiration only to be disappointed with the outcome? Oh wait! What about the miracle hair products your friend Ayanda swore must be the eighth wonder? As much as it’s easier to blame the products, the hairstylist and Ayanda (sometimes they are the problem), have you ever tried to get to the root of it?  (Pun totally intended).

Just as we have characteristic traits that determine or influence the kind of person we are and how we will react to certain things, each person’s hair has its own characteristics that determine how it will react to products, styling and manipulation. If you're still trying to figure out where i'm going with this, here are some reasons why you should start getting to know and understand your little one’s hair.

You can't  control what you dont know. Knowing and understanding your little one’s hair is the very first step in being able to easily manage and maintain it.

Spare yourself the frustration, save a lot of time and money. When you know your little one’s hair, you understand what works for it and what doesn’t. This means you can spend your time, money and efforts on the right things.

Buying products and choosing hairstyles becomes easier. Knowing your little one’s hair allows you to choose hair products that will work best for them. You will also be able to choose hairstyles and techniques that will not only give the best presentation, but will also help their hair to thrive.

You are instilling pride and nurturing confidence. By knowing and understanding their hair care needs earlier on, you’ll be helping your little one to build the confidence they need to love and embrace their hair as it is.
