Although we all hope to be thoroughly organised for the big day, it\u2019s always a good idea to have a backup plan and do as much in advance as possible, especially when it comes to children\u2019s hair!<\/p>\n
Before the big day<\/p>\n
The dreaded visit to the hairdressers \u2013 it can sometimes be a battle to get children inside when it\u2019s time for a haircut but you\u2019ll likely to want their wedding hair<\/a> is looking fresh for the wedding day.<\/p>\n Try chatting to your children about their impending haircut in the days leading up to the event \u2013 treating a haircut as a grown-up treat can help to get children excited about the experience. It can be worthwhile to spend a few minutes in the salon with your child before their appointment. Allowing them some time to watch other children in the salon chair can help them to feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n A little snack often works wonders for keeping little ones still in the salon chair, and small rewards such as a lollipop or a play in the park on the way home can help to make their experience a positive one.<\/p>\n If your child finds the salon environment particularly stressful, it might be worthwhile looking into a mobile wedding hairdresser<\/a>, since your child is much more likely to feel at ease in familiar surroundings.<\/p>\n The night before:<\/p>\n Washing hair, the night before can help relieve pressure on the wedding day, and gives you at least one less thing to worry about!<\/p>\n Brush through any tangles before bed, and wash and dry their hair before they go to bed. Using a 2 in 1 shampoo can help to reduce the stressful process too by keeping hair washing time to a minimum whilst also easing any tangles.<\/p>\n To help reduce tangle \u2013 try to squeeze as much water from their hair as possible after washing, and try not to rub it with the towel as this can encourage tangles.<\/p>\n A little conditioning spray can help so try to do this when combing through wet and through dry hair using a wide-tooth comb, always starting at the ends. If your child has longer hair it can be beneficial to plait it back or tie it into a loose ponytail as they sleep.<\/p>\n On the wedding day:<\/p>\n There are lots of simple styles that even dads can help with! If your daughter has static hair, before diving right in with a bucket of product, he can lightly spray a hair brush with some low strength hairspray and brush through to tame any fly-aways.<\/p>\n Plaits can be a little tricky so unless he sees himself as a secret hair wizard, try gathering two pieces of hair at the front, twisting them individually to the back of your child\u2019s head. Secure the twists with a couple of bobby pins \u2013 if you put them wobbly side down, they\u2019ll grip better. Spraying a clean toothbrush to deal with any tricky flyways can also help.<\/p>\n If you are feeling adventurous, you can create some additional twists using the remainder of the hair, and remember \u2013 cute accessories can cover all manner of sins so don\u2019t be afraid to keep things simple and let a couple of nice clips or matching ribbons do the talking!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although we all hope to be thoroughly organised for the big day, it\u2019s always a good idea to have a backup plan and do as much in advance as possible, especially when it comes to children\u2019s hair!
