PERFECT GROOMING
FOR YOUR CHILD’S
SCHOOLING
[ BY ISABELLE VELLA ]
As dedicated magazines and television
channels are on the increase, children
are constantly being bombarded with
images of fashionable clothes, the latest
music videos and the must-have looks.
In the past months, kids have been given
ample opportunities to experiment with
hair. Therefore, after a season during
which hair has been maltreated with the
influences of salt, chlorine, sun, sand,
colour, twisting and braiding, a trip to a
hairdressing salon is a must.
After the carefree summer months,
children are dreading or perhaps eager
to return to their school bench and use
their sparkling new stationery. However,
before the summer season is over,
parents need to make sure their kids
visit a salon and get their hair groomed
appropriately.
Children of today know what they like
and dislike and have a huge influence
over their parents’ spending power.
However, when parents have to decide
on an appropriate hairstyle for their
children it is important to take into
consideration that a style needs to be
easy to handle and to keep clean.
Professional hairstylists will suggest the
best possible solution to maintenance
free hair because they are aware that
an adult might not want squeals and
screams puncturing their haven of
tranquility early in the morning when
they try to tie up their children’s hair.
Therefore, it is also important to invest
in a good leave-in conditioner and
detangler that can be sprayed on dry
hair every morning to make life easier
when it comes to brushing unruly hair.
Leave-in, shine detanglers are perfect
for all misbehaving hair types including
stubborn afro-hair or long, fragile hair.
These products condition the hair while
providing a touch of healthy shine.
With regards to teenagers, it is also
a good idea to acquire a gel that will
enable them to create similar styles
as their peers with the difference that
their gel will not contain any plastic
ingredients. Instead, the product
will safeguard the hair with vitamins
that nourish and moisturise the hair
while promoting hair growth. It is best
to choose a product that provides
weightless firm hold and control without
build-up or flaking. It is vital to bear in
mind that hair loss can start as early
as 16 years old and although hair loss
can be a genetic factor, it is always best
to use products that promote a healthy
scalp environment. .
