If you’re thinking about an easy hairstyle for your kids this winter, I want to share twelve easy winter protective natural hairstyles for your kids.
Winter can be just as damaging on kids hair as they are on adults hair. Even more so for kids because they don’t pay much attention to the health of their hair like adults do. While an adult would know what to do with their hair to protect it against the cold winter hair; kids are usually too busy having fun to care about the effects of the winter on their hair.
That’s why in this post, I will be providing some hairstyle ideas you can style your daughter’s hair in for the winter. These hairstyles are suitable for kids of all ages and temperament level, as well as all hair length and curl type.

Maintenance Tips
You want to keep your daughter’s hair in a satin bonnet while she sleeps at night.
When she showers, make sure she wears a shower cap.
To keep her scalp moisturized, use an anti-itch scalp oil that will keep her scalp fresh and supple.
To keep her hair moisturized, lightly spray her hair with a leave-in conditioner spritz. You can either buy one or you can make yours in a spray bottle. A basic hair spritz includes water, leave-in conditioner and oil.
To take down the hairstyle, lightly spray her hair with the leave-in spritz so that her hair is moisturized and doesn’t break off when you take it down. Also be sure to detangle as you go, so you won’t have much work afterwards.
