Ever spent time detangling your child’s hair, only for it to tangle right back up minutes later? If so, you’re not alone! One common reason for constant tangling is that your child may need a trim. If your little one is five years or older and has NEVER received a trim, their hair may be experiencing breakage and split ends. Over time, split ends travel up the hair shaft, causing knots, tangles, and even difficulty retaining length. Regular trims help to remove damaged ends and keep hair healthier, stronger, and more manageable.
How Often Should You Trim?
A simple trim every 3-4 months can make a big difference. This doesn’t mean cutting off a lot of hair—just enough to remove damaged or frayed ends. If you notice single-strand knots or excessive tangling, it may be time for a trim. You can trim your child’s ends at home or go to a stylist who understands natural hair care.
We recommend to look for a professional hairstylist who specializes in curly, coily, and textured hair, especially one experienced in working with children. If you're unsure where to go, the Reagan Sanai Salon Suite caters specifically to natural hair kids and provides a gentle, stress-free experience.
