5x Back-to-school hairstyles for kids with curly hair

It's almost upon us again or even done already. Summer vacation is coming to its end and that means kids are going back to school. The first weeks after the vacations are the most important, as school pictures are taken and your son or daughter gets to know all new classmates. This includes a good haircut. We know better than anyone how difficult it is to style a hairstyle with curls, which is why we wrote this blog. We give you some popular back-to-school hairstyles with curls for your child.

1. Get a wet look and soft waves

The first back-to-school look is perhaps the easiest to achieve. A good wash and the right hair styling will get you a long way. Celebrities like Rihanna have gone before you, and this look is not only easy to create, but also gives a chic look.

Make sure the curls are well wet and use a strong hair styling product such as the Curly Secret Volume Boost Hair Spray or the Mielle Honey & Ginger Styling Gel. Be especially careful not to scrunch the curl and out, but if necessary, dry the hair gently with a diffuser.

2. Go for a (long) bob

A bob is known as an old-fashioned hairstyle for the older generation, but nothing could be further from the truth. A bob with curls or even a longer bob is a perfect look for a new year at school. Important with any kind of bob is the right shampoo and conditioner, otherwise the curls will not come out well.

A longer bob is up to just above the shoulders while you can also opt for a layered bob. To maintain curls properly, we recommend getting the Beautiful Beginnings 2-in-1 Easy Shampoo and the Pretty Curly Girl Intense Protein Deep Conditioner.

3. Natural curls with full volume

Of course, you don't have to get a new hairstyle, you can just make sure your child's or your own curls are good and full of volume on the first day of the new school year. With the right curl activator and proper maintenance of your hairstyle, you'll make sure you're looking your best this coming school year!

Of course, making sure you have volume is not always obvious. We hope you wash your hair with products that fit the Curly Girl Method.

4. Mid-length hairstyle with wild curls

Are you a real curly girl or are your kids' curls untameable? Then this is the ideal hairstyle for you. Your curls don't always have to be perfect or fall down tight. The popularity of a mid-length hairstyle with wild curls is increasing. By giving your curls (a little) free rein, you create a hairstyle full of playfulness.

What do you need to achieve such a hairstyle? Ensure full and hydrated curls with the help of a moisturizing conditioner. After washing, a hairspray is enough to give your curls some shape. Opt for the Curly Secret Curl Rescue Refresh Spray or the Africa's Best Kids Organics 2-in-1 Natural Conditioning Detangler.

5. Curly curtain bangs

Curtain bangs are an excellent choice with curls. Curled curtain bangs allow the face to be ''framed'' properly. Ideal if you have a photo day at school or for a first impression. And best of all? All you need are natural curls and a nourishing mousse.

Celebrities like Zendaya have already shown you how. Choose the Pretty Curly Curl Airy Volume Foam or the ApHogee Style & Wrap Mousse and apply it to slightly damp hair. A little scrunch and you're ready for your first day of school!
