As autumn settles in and Thanksgiving approaches, it’s the perfect time to think about keeping your child’s hair healthy and strong. The cooler, drier air can make hair more prone to dryness and frizz, but with a few simple steps, you can ensure your little one’s locks stay shiny and healthy all season long. Here are some fall hair care tips to give thanks for:
Moisturize Regularly
As the cooler, drier air settles in, it’s important to keep your child’s hair hydrated. Regular moisturizing helps prevent dryness and frizz. At Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead, we offer high-quality products like Original Sprout shampoos and conditioners, which are perfect for keeping hair soft and nourished. For extra moisture, try Original Sprout Leave-In Conditioner to help lock in hydration and keep hair manageable all season long.

Limit Heat Styling
Avoid overusing blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners, which can dry out your child’s hair. Instead, try heat-free styles like braids or ponytails—perfect for fall and keeping hair neat without the damage.

Detangle with Care
Fall winds can leave hair more tangled than usual. Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to gently work through knots, starting from the tips and working your way up. Original Sprout Leave-In Conditioner or Detangling Spray can help make the process easier, keeping hair soft and manageable.

Get Regular Trims
Regular trims are essential for maintaining healthy hair and preventing split ends. Bring your child into Pigtails & Crewcuts Buckhead for a fresh cut every few months to keep their hair looking its best. Our kid-friendly salon makes haircuts fun and easy, ensuring your little one leaves feeling confident and ready for the season ahead!
Protect Hair Outdoors
As your little one plays outside, keep their hair protected with ponytails, braids, or hats. These styles help prevent tangling and keep hair secure during active play while also shielding it from cold winds.
Embrace Natural Texture
Fall is the perfect time to embrace your child’s natural hair texture. Whether they have curls or waves, give extra love to curly hair, which can get frizzy in the fall. Use curl-enhancing products to define and nourish curls, keeping them soft and bouncy. For straight hair, try adding volume and body with lightweight styling mousse or a simple braid for a cute, textured look.
