Long Hair on Girls

• Girls with long hair can try a shag style. The hair is cut shorter at the top in the front and back of the head to boost volume. The layers should appear choppy and uneven all over the head. This hairstyle should be blow dried to keep the style and volume of the cut. Head bands and barrettes are good accessories for this hairstyle.
  
  

Short Hair on Girls

• Shorter haircuts on girls are easy to maintain and look cute. Pixie cuts are the shortest straight layered style. The hair is usually above the ear and cut shorter at the top of the head and longer toward the back. A little gel holds it in place.
  
  Bobs are a cute hairstyle that can be easily dressed up with head bands and barrettes. Bobs are chin-length hair cuts with layers in the front or back to add volume. Layers up front can give the appearance of choppy bangs. Blow drying and a little gel will hold the style in place.
  
  

Short Hair on Boys

• Active boys are likely to fair better with shorter hair so it is out of their way when they play sports. Spike cuts are short and layered on the head. Usually the layers are shorter on the top and in the front than in the back. They can be fun for you and your child to style. With a little gel or styling wax spikes can become a mohawk or punk style.

  Boys with longer hair can do a side sweep. Longer hair is layered shorter in the front and longer in the back. The hair in the back falls usually to the chin or shoulder, and the hair in the front comes just below the ear. The hair is parted to the side so it falls over the forehead.
