Ultimate Guide To Afro Hairstyles For Children: Holiday Edition
Winter is such a great time to be a kid. It's a great time, from running and jumping in the snow to watching the snow come down outside. While it may seem like winter and snow are a lot of fun for your kids, their hair may not be loving the seasonal changes. They are probably either inside with your heater going or outside, bundled up with a hat or hair coverings. (Remember to avoid cotton and wool caps unless you layer with silk or satin!)
You may have already noticed that your kids' hair is more prone to damage and breakage. It may even be dry and itchy. Just as you are probably already taking special care to support your natural hair care needs this season, it's more important than ever to keep the unique care needs for your kids' natural hair this holiday season. The good news is that our unique kid-friendly formulations are designed to support winter hair care for your kids.
Tips & Tricks for Making Natural Hair Care Fun for The Holidays
Winter weather may be a pain when you’re dealing with the effects on your kids’ natural hair, but this is the perfect opportunity to reinforce fun and healthy hair care routines. You may have some time to spend together over the Winter Break. If you’re not going anywhere, it’s the perfect time to give your kids and yourself some extra Tender Loving Care (TLC) when it comes to their hair.
- Sleepover: Your kids can invite a few friends, so you can all have fun with a natural hair care party. They can try different styles: braids, twists, buns, puffs, and many other fun styles. Break out your supplies and let them run wild with all the sparkles and hair accessories they can manage. It’s all supervised to ensure that no damage is done, and you’ll have your detangler always at the ready to give them the safe and comfortable experience that will help them love their hair.
- Holiday Takeover: This might be the perfect time to discuss your child's self-care and grooming habits as you start to let them take over. They've probably already practiced on their dolls, friends, or even siblings. Why not let the holidays be the time when they "take over" their own natural hair care needs? It's just a couple of weeks. So, if they're not ready, you can resume your oversight of their hair care. It might just give your kids more insight into what it takes to keep your hair healthy and strong. It also gives you a bit of a break. Your kids get the chance to prove that they can take care of their hair. You can make it fun too, with some new accessories, some videos they can watch, and the offer of your help if they get into a pinch.
These hair care routines aren't just for this winter season. They can and will last a lifetime. It's also a great way to reconnect with your kids, remind them of how special they are, and reinforce the lessons that will keep them healthy as they continue to grow like weeks. Time is too short, so grab these moments to share. We're learning and growing.

How Often Are Luster’s Products Used This Winter Season?
As the weather outside gets colder, your kids will probably start spending less time outdoors. They may also be less active during the winter so that you can explore modifying your wash schedule. Here are a few possibilities.
- Wash every two weeks.
- Detangle after every wash.
- Refresh curls twice a week.
Of course, if your kids are still super active and on the go, you may still need to keep them on the regular hair care routine. Let your kids' hair be your guide. If you test out a 2-week schedule and it doesn't work for you and your child, go back to your regularly scheduled washes.
How to Use Luster’s Products as Part of Your Child’s Winter Hair Routine Every Day
Luster's products are an even more essential part of your child's daily hair care routine during the winter. Here are a few reminders for ways you should care for natural hair. It's even more critical for the winter months.
That's also why it's essential never to start detangling dry hair. The Pink Kids Easy Comb Detangler is an excellent solution to help with detangling. Combined with Pink® Kids Detangling Spray, it's a great way to refresh curls and style your child's hair without fear of damage or discomfort. Another important step is to start detangling at the ends of your hair and work your way to the scalp.
Remember to use our Pink Kids Curl Creation Custard and Pink Kids Frizz Free Curling Crème to support long-lasting styles. They’re great solutions that allow you to form and stretch your child’s curls while sealing in that essential moisture.
Whatever you do this holiday season, enjoy each other. Take care of yourself and your family, and have a wonderful holiday season.
