Prevent Lice In Style – Easy Hair Up Dos To Deal With The Coming Summer

Whether you’re the mom of a young girl with long hair, or have flowing locks yourself—the summer time is when you’re likely to start experimenting with all the ways you can put it up. The art of hair up-dos is a timeless tradition, a fashion statement borne out of the need for some air on the back of your neck.

However, they serve as not just a way to cool down and look chic, but also as fashion savvy preventative measure for head lice infestations.

Protect your daughters of school going age from the widespread plague of lice, or put up your own hair to give yourself some peace of mind. Here are a few easy methods for all you up-do needs!

The Top Knot

The top knot is a rising trend in the world of hair fashion, and it’s an excellent way to keep those pesky lice at bay too.

If you’re looking for something that’s easy to do, the messy top knot is the perfect solution. The easiest method is just to tie your hair up in a high ponytail, and then twist and secure the ponytail on the crown of your head into a perfectly messy knot!

Braid It Up

Knowing how to braid hair is a skill that must be in your arsenal, particularly if you have a daughter that goes to school.

They keep the hair in place all day, and ensure that your child’s hair—or your own—does not easily come into contact with other people’s, lest lice take the opportunity to transfer to your scalp. You can do the basic braid or double it up with pigtails, or take the more complicated route and put your French braid or fishtail braid skills to use.

Braid and Bun Combo

Putting your kid’s hair up in a bun is going to put away all the stray hairs that lice love to latch on to, and the same objective is achieved with a braid. However, combining the two is a great way to get your kid excited about their hairstyle of the day.

Plait the hair and form a braided bun close to the nape. You can also braid hair into pigtails and then twist them up into two buns in classic Princess Lea fashion.

However, a lot of the times, avoiding lice is just a feat that isn’t possible. Regular lice screenings are a must!
