Uncover the Joy of Haircuts and Spa Wonders, Specially Designed for Kids
Every girl knows that your hair can be your biggest enemy. From unmanageable bad hair days to styles that just don’t go with any of your outfits, hair can be a frustrating getting-ready obstacle you have to face every day.
That’s why it’s important to find a style that you love and suits your needs.
If you find your long hair too high maintenance or want to switch up your usual short style, this is the place for you.
At Elfin Kids Cuts, we want you or your daughter to feel confident and chic while rocking a short haircut, so we compiled some of the most popular styles with some helpful tips on how to care for your hair.
If you or your daughter is obsessed with all things fantastical and mythological, you’ve probably heard of a pixie. Known in folklore as a mischievous and childlike fairy, the pixie also bears the name of a popular short haircut.
A pixie cut is a low-maintenance hairstyle, distinguished by an extremely cropped length above the ears and nape of the neck.
Despite the shortness, this haircut is extremely versatile. You can style it in so many different ways so it suits every occasion, including:
If you’re looking for a bold and edgy look to boost your confidence and individuality, a pixie cut might just be best for you.
If you’re not daring enough to try out a pixie cut, opt for a longer bob cut. You can start with a chin-length cut, and go shorter if you want!
A bob is extremely customizable. You can change the ends, choosing a blunt look or a more textured, asymmetrical vibe.
You can also style a bob similarly to how you can style a pixie cut. Sleek it back, or add mousse for more volume.
Bobs are timeless and classic, and complement most face shapes and hair types! You can curate a chic and sophisticated hair look that’ll go with every outfit.
If you’re looking for another low-maintenance option that still has dimension and movement, add layers to a shorter cut.
Layers are easy to style, while simultaneously adding texture and playfulness.
You can play with putting up layers or adding products to enhance the volume.
A crucial step in getting ready in the morning or before any event is deciding what to do with your hair.
Choosing the appropriate style can be frustrating and make or break your day. Many girls cut their hair short to avoid this problem, but you’ll quickly learn that short hair needs to be styled too.
Sleeping on wet hair can leave it looking flat and dirty. An easy solution is adding volumizing products, such as:
To apply these products, make sure to cover your entire head of hair, focusing on lifting the roots and defining the ends.
If you already have natural textures, you can enhance them by scrunching up the ends before blow-drying or air-drying. You can also add texture-enhancing products for applying heat.
If you’re feeling bored or uninspired with your hair, but don’t want to try out a different cut, you always switch up your parting.
The most popular parting styles are:
No matter the vibe you’re aiming for, you can easily switch up your part with your fingers for a relaxed look, or use a tail comb to create a precise and sharp part.
Switching up your part creates versatility, adds freshness to your everyday look, and can really affect the way your face is framed.
If you choose to get a haircut from Elfin Kids Cuts, you’ll leave the salon with shiny, perfect hair that’ll leave you feeling great for the rest of the day. It’s important to maintain that confidence and keep your hair in the best condition.
Let’s dive into some essential tips to keep your new, short hairdo shining for ages.
Everyone’s hair grows, and whether you are hoping to grow out your length or keep it short, scheduling regular appointments helps keep your hair in the best shape.
Hairstylists recommend scheduling an appointment every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends and ensure a fresh look.
Split ends can make your hair look damaged and unkempt, so regular trims deter this while also stimulating healthy hair growth.
If you’re anything like us, you’ve stood in the shampoo and conditioner aisle of a store and examined every bottle, struggling to choose from the hundreds of options. But, finding hair care products that work for you is important to keep your hair healthy and looking great.
Your hairstylist can give you expert advice on what haircare products are specifically formulated for short hair. Many of the products are lightweight so they don’t weigh down your hair.
If you’re looking to add texture to your new look, use gel, texturing sprays, or pomades to add curl or volume.
You should also avoid heavy oils or silicones that can weigh down your hair and make it look greasy.
If you’ve lived your entire life with long hair, short hair might seem daunting. You may think, without the ability to braid or twist it up into complex styles, short hair lacks versatility. But, there are endless styling possibilities, perfect for every occasion.
School picture day, job interviews, celebrations, and fancy dinners may warrant a polished and sophisticated look, which you can achieve by straightening your short hair with a flat iron.
When applying any heat styling tool to your hair, using a heat protectant spray is essential.
Don’t attempt to straighten all of your hair at once; you’ll miss some strands. Work section by section, and be sure to start from the root and then down to the tip.
And don’t forget to finish off the look with a lightweight hairspray to keep your strands straight, and enhance the shine for that desired sleek finish.
If you’re aiming for a more relaxed vibe, whether for class, work, or a casual outing, it’s also achievable with short hair.
Add texturing sprays, mousse, or other products, and tousle your hair to add waves, volume, or curls.
You can also get fancy, and treat your hair with a quick blow dry to enhance the natural texture. Using a diffuser can create very unique but chic looks.
When you cut your hair short, you can no longer compensate for the rest of your look with a fancy hairdo. It’s more important than ever to pay attention to your jewelry choices and added hairclips, as they’ll stand out more.
Bobs, pixie cuts, and layers are going to show off more of your facial features, including your ears. Luckily, you can add bold and eye-catching earrings to display your personality.
We like earrings that are:
Adding hair accessories can spice up your look, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles of headbands, such as wide fabric headbands, embellished headbands, or knotted headbands.
You can also pin back your hair, adding:
The best thing about hair claps and accessories is that they can be tailored to your outfit, based on the colors, theme, or event you’re attending.
Choosing a short haircut can seem like a big decision, but it may be what’s best for you. Contact Elfin Kids Cuts to talk through the decision, or, if you’re ready, book today!
What face shape is best suited for a pixie cut?
The pixie cut is incredibly versatile and can complement a variety of face shapes. However, it tends to particularly flatter those with oval or heart-shaped faces. Oval faces have balanced proportions, making them ideal for experimenting with short hairstyles like the pixie cut. Heart-shaped faces often feature wider foreheads and narrower chins, and the pixie cut can help balance out these proportions by adding volume to the top and sides of the head.
How can I maintain volume in my layered crop hairstyle?
To maintain volume in a layered crop hairstyle, it’s essential to use the right hair care products and styling techniques. Start by using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to add lift and texture to your hair. When styling, apply a lightweight mousse or volumizing spray to damp hair and focus on the roots for added lift. Use a round brush while blow-drying to create volume at the roots, and avoid weighing down the hair with heavy products. Additionally, consider getting regular trims to remove any excess weight and keep your layers looking fresh and textured.
How can I accessorize my short hairstyle?
You can add hair clips, or headbands, pin back your hair, or even try parting your hair differently. You can also use texturing spray, or a straightening iron to try a volumized look or sleek straight look. Short hairstyles are shockingly extremely versatile.
