Encouraging younger clients to embrace their curls usually involves a little pop culture. Pointing out these super stars’ beautiful curls has been helpful:
Princess Merida from Disney's Brave is a great model for younger girls! Oh how I have gained so much respect for that Disney princess. Not only is she a role model I'm comfortable with for my 7-year-old daughter, but she has that gorgeous curly orange hair! I have pointed out her beautiful hair to my curly haired daughter and all my young clients with curly hair, and I have literally seen the embracing begin!
Taylor Swift another inspiration for the younger set has lately been taming down her curly tresses. Don’t know why. I mean, look at the picture! What’s not to embrace?
