Haircuts for Kids With Thick, Wavy Hair
Wavy hair can be frustrating to style, particularly on kids. Choosing the right haircut can help the styling process become quick and easy and eliminate the need to comb through unruly hair each morning. Choosing the right cut for wavy hair can help keep the locks off your child's face and help her feel more comfortable. Does this Spark an idea?

Page Boy
-
The page boy haircut works for both boys and girls and features hair resting just at the chin. Keeping hair above the shoulders can make it more manageable as there is less to deal with. This style will work best for subtle waves, however, as a page boy may make more prominent waves seem even thicker.
Angled
-
An angled cut keeps the hair out of the front of the face, making for a more comfortable style for little ones with thick, wavy hair. Ask your stylist to cut subtle angles in your child's hair at first to see how it might look, advancing to more dramatic angles if you and the child are comfortable.

Bangs
-
Bangs are a quick way to get wavy hair off a child's face. Wavy hair takes sideswept bangs well, but blunt-cut bangs that hang straight over the forehead work well, too. Whichever bangs you choose, have them cut a bit longer than straight hair would be cut, as wavy hair will be shorter when it dries.
Layered
-
Layers are a charming method to help waves fall in a textured way. Layers work best on girls' hair, since it is typically longer than boys'. Layers can be cut throughout the hair and combined with angles in the strands around the face.
