A new school year brings the hope of doing things better than last—getting better grades, joining more clubs, and making new friends. Creating an efficient game plan for their hair is essential to give your child a chance to make these dreams a reality.
Confidence is key to a successful school year. Below are steps to ensure you’re out the door on time and style.
Plan Out Hairstyles In Advance

The easiest way to get ahead is by knowing what you’re doing instead of wasting time scrolling and attempting a look for the first time that’s impossible to achieve in your timeline. It’s also important to be aware of upcoming events – performances, dances, or school trips can alter your original plan.

Eliminating a step before you wake will give you and yours more time to sleep in! Styles that can be slept in don’t just have to be protective. With the proper satin bonnet and a plan for a quick refresher in the morning, the possibilities are endless.
Use A Protective Style

As aforementioned, if you know there’s a round of upcoming events that a protective style is most suitable for, commit to one that gives you a break from the daily chore of styling. There’s a range of products specifically formulated for kids and protective styling – Cantu Care For Kids and SheaMoisture both have excellent options.
Coordinate With Your Partner

Everyone in the family should have a role in supporting one another. Work in tandem to make sure you guys are on the same page about the hairstyle schedule. This can mean taking shifts by one week on, one week off, or alternating days! Don’t doubt the potential of a shared Google Calendar or chore board to make things easier.
