Kids' Braided Styles in Cedar Rapids: What Parents Should Know

Braided styles are a practical choice for kids: they're neat, low-maintenance and protect natural hair. Natacha Beauty Braiding African Hair in Cedar Rapids offers kids' styles for children ages 5 to 10.

The basics

• Ages: 5 to 10
• Time: about 3 hours
• Price: $70 to $90, as listed on the salon's booking page

Tips for parents

• Start with clean, detangled hair unless the salon tells you otherwise.
• Pack entertainment. Three hours is a long time to sit, so bring a tablet, books or snacks.
• Choose a style together. Showing your child a few photos ahead of time makes the appointment more fun.
• Ask about care. Your stylist can tell you how to keep the style neat between washes.

The salon also sells beauty supplies to help you care for your child's hair at home.
