Playtime by Carol Bruguera
We've seen the latest trends in women's hairstyles and numerous collections for men (though never as many as for women). However, the group that is usually least represented is children, and Carol Bruguera is stepping up to the plate to address this gap.
In her collection called "Playtime," she presents a half-dozen boys and girls sporting trendy, fun, and easy-care looks that should please both parents and kids alike.
Little Boys Haircuts
These two boys sport short layered haircuts that, while similar, create different overall looks.
Hairstyle 1 features short, tapered sides and back with a longer top. The top section is textured with a razor tool to create choppy, chunky effects in the layers, which are accentuated by the styling products used. The hair can be blow-dried with styling gel and then styled with pomade to achieve a random, slightly spiky look.
Hairstyle 2 is another layered look with razor-cut, choppy layers. The razor-cut fringe adds a light, wispy edge and shapes the hair into a lacy-edged cap that frames the face perfectly. Style the hair using a blow-dryer and a vent brush or fingers with a lightweight product like mousse.
Boy and Girl with Classic Haircuts
This boy and girl look adorable with classic haircuts given updated twists.
Hairstyle 1 features a classic 1970s shag cut with razor-cut ends to soften the style. The long fringe (eye level) and central parting give the look a symmetry that highlights the hair's texture. Style this look with a blow-dryer and brush using styling gel, then smooth flyaway strands and define the ends with a touch of smoothing serum.
Hairstyle 2 is a blunt bob cut with a narrow fringe zone featuring a curved notch in the center of the forehead. The center parting provides symmetry, and the clean lines balance the roundness of childhood features. Style with a blow-dryer and flat brush using a soft-hold product and smoothing serum, then finish with a pass through a flat iron for smooth locks.
Large Curls for Little Girls
Sometimes, it's fun to play with pretty locks. This long-haired little girl has her hair lightly layered to soften the ends while maintaining balance. The styling involves large curls rolled off base to avoid too much vertical lift while adding body and visual interest to the hair.
Style this look with large hair-setting tools, then comb out with fingers to keep the curls as intact as possible. Finish with a light mist of hairspray and a gentle scrunch.
Neck-Length Little Girls Hairstyle
This neck-length cut is layered to enhance the natural curl in this auburn-haired little girl's hairstyle. The fringe extends from brow to brow and is kept thin, avoiding excessive texturing for a light, sheer look.
The sides and back are evenly layered in a longer circular pattern, allowing the curl to remain balanced. This creates a flattering frame for the face and complements the features of the young child.
