- Children have fine hair and therefore preparing the hair before styling is an important way to ensure that the style remains in place throughout the entire day. The style should be used within hair that has not been washed in at least one day to ensure that the natural oils within the hair can be used to assist with the style. Dirty hair works best with formal hairstyles, especially in the fine hair of children.
- When curling the hair for formal hairstyles, use a comb to ensure that the curling iron is not being placed too close to the head of the child. This can ensure that the child will not become burned by the curling iron being too close to the head. Consider adding some volume into the hair by back-combing before the curls are completed to ensure the longest hairstyle possible.
